Is there a Nordic-supplied CLI that is similar to FreeRTOS+CLI?

I really like the flexibility that the CLI from FreeRTOS gives me for making my own commands. Does Nordic have a similar library available that I can just import easily into my existing project? Or do I have to manually import the freertos CLI modules and make it work that way?

Hi,

I'm not familiar with FreeRTOS+CLI, is this a freestanding library that can be used apart from FreeRTOS? Can you confirm that you are using nRF9160, and if you are using nRF Connect SDK, and not FreeRTOS?

For nRF Connect SDK, the CLI option available in the SDK is the Zephyr Shell. This should be fairly simple to use and add new commands, but I do not know how it compares to FreeRTOS+CLI.

In nRF5 SDK, we also have a CLI library developed by Nordic, but this SDK will only work with nRF52 devices.

Best regards,
Jørgen

Yes, it can be used as a freestanding library. I am using the nRF Connect SDK with the nRF9160 (cellular modem).

I will give another look at Zephyr Shell, but I was hoping there was something less convoluted available.

Thank you.
