Use Shell mode when the device you communicate with is running a shell, such as Zephyr™ shell. In this mode, the terminal sends the command or command series to the device for execution by the shell. The shell can return output or prompt the user for additional input. Shell mode allows you to execute more complex operations, navigate the file system, or perform other advanced tasks that are not possible in Line mode.
| Terminal mode | Setting | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Shell | Device controls echo | Toggle this on if echo is enabled on the device. Toggle off if it is not, in which case Serial Terminal echoes the command. In Zephyr shell, run shell echo on to turn echo on, and shell echo off to disable echo. |
