Add Segger Real Time Terminal (RTT) support to J-Link plug-in

[ilg-ul]

As a faster alternative to semihosting, RTT provides a bidirectional channel between the target and the host, that can be used to send trace messages.

Yes, it would be great if the RTT terminal could be included in Eclipse. I currently use the CF Terminal (Console) View plugin, as described here: https://mcuoneclipse.com/2015/04/20/serial-terminal-view-in-eclipse-luna/

I am still considering it, but still had no time to investigate how complicated the implementation might be.

Any more ideas on this? The RTT Console is basically just a Telnet connection to JLinkGDBServer. Another option would be to launch JLinkRTTClient.

as long as there are workarounds, the priority will probably remain low.

Thanks.
