Hello Shell

This is a derived work from the original Zephyr “Hello World” example! Most of the stuff in this README file needs to be redesigned and changed!

Overview

A simple Hello World example that can be used with any supported board and prints ‘Hello World! I’m THE SHELL’ to the console. This application can be built into modes:

Requirements

Building and Running

This project outputs ‘Hello World! I’m THE SHELL’ to the console. It can be built and executed as emulation in X86 Emulation (QEMU) as follows:

west build -b qemu_x86 -p -d build/helloshell-qemu_x86 bridle/samples/helloshell
west build -t run -d build/helloshell-qemu_x86

Also it can be built and executed on following targets:

  • As Native POSIX execution (native_posix), fancy command set mode:

    west build -b native_posix -p -d build/helloshell-native_posix bridle/samples/helloshell
west build -t run -d build/helloshell-native_posix

    Hint

    Connect a terminal emulator to the given pseudotty or start the application directly with the autoconnect argument:

    ./build/helloshell-native_posix/zephyr/zephyr.exe -attach_uart

  • As emulation in ARM Cortex-M3 Emulation (QEMU), fancy command set mode:

    west build -b qemu_cortex_m3 -p -d build/helloshell-qemu_cortex_m3 bridle/samples/helloshell
west build -t run -d build/helloshell-qemu_cortex_m3

    Hint

    Exit QEMU by pressing CTRL+A x.

  • On ST Nucleo F746ZG board, fancy command set mode:

    west build -b nucleo_f746zg -p -d build/helloshell-nucleo_f746zg bridle/samples/helloshell
west flash -d build/helloshell-nucleo_f746zg

Further you can deside either to run in a basic or fancy command set mode:

  • On ST Nucleo F746ZG board, basic command set mode:

    west build -b nucleo_f746zg -p -d build/helloshell-nucleo_f746zg bridle/samples/helloshell -- -DCONF_FILE=prj-minimal.conf
west flash -d build/helloshell-nucleo_f746zg

  • On ST Nucleo F746ZG board, fancy command set mode:

    west build -b nucleo_f746zg -p -d build/helloshell-nucleo_f746zg bridle/samples/helloshell -- -DCONF_FILE=prj.conf
west flash -d build/helloshell-nucleo_f746zg

Shell supports following meta-keys:
  Ctrl + (a key from: abcdefklnpuw)
  Alt  + (a key from: bf)
Please refer to shell documentation for more details.

Available commands:
  adc        :ADC commands
  bridle     :Bridle commands.
  clear      :Clear screen.
  dac        :DAC shell commands
  device     :Device commands
  devmem     :Read/write physical memory
              Usage:
              Read memory at address with optional width:
              devmem address [width]
              Write memory at address with mandatory width and value:
              devmem address <width> <value>
  flash      :Flash shell commands
  gpio       :GPIO commands

  pwm        :PWM shell commands
  regulator  :Regulator playground
  rem        :Ignore lines beginning with 'rem '
  resize     :Console gets terminal screen size or assumes default in case the
              readout fails. It must be executed after each terminal width
              change to ensure correct text display.
  retval     :Print return value of most recent command
