Hi,
I don't have a good tip for that program, but if you have access to a different serial terminal you could try that. Maybe you have access to a Windows computer and could try with putty as this is known to work nicely. As the terminal seems to be outputting correctly, I would guess something with the transmitted line endings is still wrong. You could of course attach a logic analyzer or try to log the sent characters in raw format but that might be a bit of work.
If you enter each character on the keyboard and do not copy paste the input, then flow control is probably not the issue.

Thanks for the pointers. It works with Windows+Putty. I'll experiment with different line endings, to see if one of picocom's options works.
access to a different serial terminal
Do you know of a terminal from linux that's worked for others? I usually use picocom out of habit, but I'm happy to try another, as long as it's Linux based. I don't think my peers will be very happy with using Windows.
Hi,
there are tons of terminals for sure that will work, I was mostly using minicom on linux so far. it is not the most user friendly terminal however.

minicom worked out of the box, you've now converted me to minicom. Thanks for the pointers!
I'm not sure what happened, but minicom is no longer working. When I switch back to Putty on Windows, it works just fine. I also tried putty on Linux, and it still didn't work. I'll try to dig around more and I'll put my findings here afterwards.
Hello, I'll close this as there has not been any more feedback. Feel free to reopen it.
I'm trying to connect to my nrf52840 with fruitymesh's precompiled binary flashed to the device.
I pulled down and flashed github_dev_nrf52840.hex, and I'm connecting using picocom.
It responds to, but I can't get it to show status or do anything else. I read in another bug that flow control needs to be set to RTS/CTS, which I did. I also read that commands need to send \r, which I think I've done...
Here's my terminal log:
Does anybody have pointers for what/how to debug this problem?
