  • [SOLVED] Whishlist : support for terminal color

    It would be nice to have a terminal option to enable color support, like « ESC [1;31m » to get red front color, and « ESC [0m » to go back to default colors.
    The ESC word denotes the character with ASCII code 27'd, a.k.a 1b'h, a.ka. CTRL [.
  • Hello,

    Thank you for your inquiry.
    We will add this to our wishlist.

    If you are using RTT as I/O channel you could use the RTT Viewer as a workaround which already supports colors:

  • Dear Nino,

    Thank you for suggesting the RTTViewer, thank you for providing this tool, it is great because it allows to have terminal output with a plain JLink during a debugging session.
    However I have noticed a few issues :
    • On MACOS, it crashes when I go into the menu « Logging» / « Channel infos…»
    • Not really a big issue, but a nice-to-have, one cannot configure the character encoding for display (just for display, of course for the logging itself the log shall remain as such), it seems to be Latin1, but I have a few UTF-8 characters. OK I can live with that, but I guess it would be more painful to Japanese or Chinese people 8| .
