I'm trying to clear the tera terminal screen using the clrscr() function with MCUXpresso IDE v10.3.0_200 but it is not working what should I do?

Assuming that you are sending output to the UART via the standard SDK debug console functionality, then the following should clear the screen :

 PRINTF ("\x1b[2J");

This will cause the underlying DbgConsole_Printf() routine to send the escape sequence for a terminal "erase screen", which is <ESC>[2J    (where <ESC> is the ASCII escape character 0x1b). Note that the exact details of how this is handled will depend upon your terminal program

This certainly seems to work in the limited testing I've just done here with the IDE's built-in terminal (more information on this built in terminal can be found in  the MCUXpresso IDE v10.3 User Guide, section 19.8, "Using Terminal View for UART communication with target").

Hello Joseph Grigaliunas ,

"clrscr()" function works in Turbo  C compiler only.

It seems there isn't function in MCXUpresso IDE support clear screen, I will confirm with development team,

then will tell you .ASAP.


Have a great day,
TIC
