System details:
- Ubuntu Linux version 20.04.6 LTS
- nRF Connect for Desktop v4.0.1
- Toolchain Manager v1.2.2
- NCS v2.2.0
- Visual Studio Code 1.77.3
There has been a new update for nRF Terminal extension see here:
https://nrfconnect.github.io/vscode-nrf-connect/release_notes/terminal/2023.4.15.html
Since this new update, I no longer have any output in terminal.
I tried the hello world example with the NRF52840DK kit which has always worked for me. But now it no longer works.
I can connect to the DK board, but there is no output. Also no errors.
I usually select Actions - Debug
Then under Connected Devices - RTT I click on the Connect to RTT symbol (on the right).
Since this new update, it no longer works.
The release notes suggest to add a serial terminal by pressing the + in the Tab Terminal.
I tried:
nRF RTT Terminal
nRF Serial Terminal
But every time I get a prompt to manually enter all the details of the serial connection. I get no suggestions in the input text field (on the release note page it does show COM port suggestions).
I have to enter stuff like:
- Enter device
- Enter serial number
- Choose memory address
- Select port
- Enter port path
- Choose configuration
Also there is no option anymore to gracefully terminate the connection to the J-Link. I used this a lot because terminal connection tasks got hanging in the background and new terminals would no longer work if this is the case.
