all_device_types_app console issue (CON-1092)

[sdrasti]

When using the UART0 for console I/O the all_device_types_app works as expected. But when I set the USB/JTAG serial port for the console on a ESP32-C6 Devkit, I get the following output:

I (665) main_task: Calling app_main()
I (685) app_main: 

Enter command 'create --device' for a list of available devices

When I comment out example::console::init(); in app_main.cpp but still leave CONFIG_ENABLE_CHIP_SHELL=y then I get proper log messages of the Matter stack and a prompt shows up where I can enter Matter and Wifi commands without any issues.

Is there anything that needs to be configured in static void initialize_console(void) in esp_matter_console_helpers.cpp to make the console work over the USB/JTAG serial for selecting a device type?

Try a different terminal program, these ";R[31R[31;R[31R[31;R[31R" are responses to escape sequence queries from the terminal.

Did you use the UART or USB port on C6?

If you used the USB port then you need to enable CONFIG_ESP_CONSOLE_USB_SERIAL_JTAG config option.

@shubhamdp CONFIG_ESP_CONSOLE_USB_SERIAL_JTAG is enabled, and as mentioned, the log output and the chip-shell commands work as expected when using the USB port. The issue is related to the console that is added in esp_matter_console_helpers.cpp

[shubhamdp]

I built light with CONFIG_ESP_CONSOLE_USB_SERIAL_JTAG=y and I was able to use the console. Is this still an issue, if yes, can you please share the sdkconfig.

@sdrasti Please provide the requested details. Or close the issue if resolved

[sdrasti]

@shubhamdp @dhrishi With the light example app running on a ESP-C6 I got the Matter Console also working along with the logging console without any issues. It seemed to me, as if the the problem was linked to the code in esp_matter_console_helpers.cpp (that adds additional commands to the matter console for choosing a device types) of the all_device_types_app. Anyhow, I haven't tried to track down the issue any further, so I would close this issue then.
