Shell on putty doesn't work correctly

nshell library from Kinetis SDK 1.2.0 seems to interpret backspace (erased characters) as space on Putty (Release 0.64). This results in shell throwing an error "Invalid command" even though the command is correct. I found that shell_ptr->CMD_LINE in shell.c is incorrect. Is there an easy way to fix this?

 

By the way, I also tried changing Ctrl-? to Ctrl-H for Backspace on Putty but it didn't help.

Hi Priya,

  This usability improvement has already been identified for inclusion in future versions of KSDK, though I can confirm this same behavior exists in KSDK 1.3. At the moment there is not a work-around. If one becomes available I will update this thread.

Regards,

Anthony
