Segger terminal outputs infinite nonsense

UPDATE: I have figured this out.

I was using the UART0 to connect to another microcontroller with pins 5,6,7,8 on nRF52840 DK. At the same time I was trying to use the terminal to print received data, which uses the UART0 with the USB as a virtual COM port (something like that). Therefore, once I disconnected the UART0 going to my other microcontroller, the terminal worked again. The solution for me will probably be to use UART1 for connecting to other microcontrollers.

Thought I would post this as a solution to my own problem for others to see.

If you're using RTT as a backend for the logger module then you can't use the serial terminal Termite since RTT use the SWD interface. You should use J-link viewer or the debugger window in SES.

I'm not sure this is what you mean, but this is the enabled backend:

Also, I changed the USB port for connecting the nRF52840, and now it doesn't print infinitely anymore, but it does only print like this with no text:

Hi,

Which backend are you using for the logging module?
