CLI Logging Formatting

[Rodrigo Lorenzo Leal]

Hi Nordic Forum! 

I'm currently developing a CLI controlled BLE scanner using the nRF52840 Dongle. 

Essentially I brought over the CLI example and adapted it to the a central/scanner code, I did this mostly to have logs on the Dongle (since it doesn't have a debugger), but also to add the possibility to control the application over the command line. 

Thing work for the most part, but when I log things to the terminal, the formatting is a big off, as seen here:

When I press tab the available commands are shown like in the picture, and every NRF_LOG call adds that header before. 

Initially I thought was the CLI colour option but I disable it, similar with the logger timestamp. When I run the CLI commands, the text is show without any header. 

Any idea how to remove this? 

I'm using SDK Version 16, using make/GCC as toolchain and using the CoolTerm terminal on macOS 10.14.6

Thanks in advance.

It seems your terminal does not support escape codes correctly. Try putty with recommended settings.

Hi,

If you have not found them yet, here are the PuTTY terminal settings.

You may also experiment with the NRF_CLI_VT100_COLORS_ENABLED setting in sdk_config.h (turn it off or on.)
