CTRL-C cancels the current line, similar to how getty works.
This is useful if one is using a dumb terminal to communicate with
a node, as it saves having to repeatedly type backspace to discard the
current line. It also helps when connecting to an already running node,
as one does not know what is on the line buffer, the safest thing to do
is to begin by sending a ctrl-C.
This is a suggestion of @benemorius.
- Add SEMTECH_LORAMAC_ALREADY_JOINED ret code for semtech_loramac_join
- Add SEMTECH_LORAMAC_TX_CNF_FAILED ret code for semtech_loramac_send
- Update shell commands to notify when no ACK is received on cnf tx
Add a trivial shell program that scans for all slaves on an I2C bus by iterating
all of the possible 127 I2C addresses and checking for the ACK of the device.
I was looking for a quick way to gauge the link quality between two nodes,
so I added the rssi to the output of the ping6 command.
Maybe this is generally useful to have.
Loosely based on [the original ping] and [netutil]'s ping
New features (compared to old RIOT version):
- non-positional parameters
- Better duplicate detection (addresses #9387)
- Better asynchronous behavior
- Potential for future move to `sock_ip`
- (Optional) DNS-support
- Multithreading-safe (in case shell-command handler gets called
from multiple threads)

When IPv6 is enabled, the MTU is given. So users(*) sending IPv6 packets can
easily figure out what the supported maximum protocol unit is.
However, when IPv6 is disabled and a user wants to send layer 2 frames directly,
no information about the maximum PDU is available using the shell.
When 6LoWPAN is used, a user may be interested in the layer 2 PDU as well in
order to avoid layer 2 fragmentation.
This PR adds the L2-PDU info to the output of the ifconfig shell command, which
is printed regardless of the use of IPv6.
(*): Here "users" refers to human beings interacting with the shell.
Applications can get the maximum PDU of each layer more easily using
gnrc_netapi_get() with NETOPT_MAX_PACKET_SIZE instead of using a shell command.
Currently an interface's existence is not checked when it is supplied
by the user with the `nib` command. This can lead to assertion errors
as soon as the generated entry tries to resolve an address or route
generated with that command and the network interface not being found.
When using a serial terminal without local echo, the current line
would not get updated as the user typed because the shell module's
readline() was not flushing each character.
This commit fixes that behavior. For additional clarity, fflush is
turned into a macro (flush_if_needed) which expands to either a call
to fflush() or empty, according to the standard library used.
This also fixes the erase/line editing behavior (the delete characters
were not being flushed either.)
sc_rtc.c should only be compiled if periph_rtc module is actually used.
In practice there was not linking error when PERIPH_OPTIONAL|_REQUIRED
was not set as shell_commands hides calling the functions with
'#ifdef MODULE_PERIPH_RTC'.
In RIOT native, sending CTRL+D to a shell started using shell_run would resulted in and
endless prompt loop. I've been unable to trigger such a behaviour
on actual hardware using a UART connection, but calling `pm_off` seemed
like a better alternative than having an `#ifdef BOARD_NATIVE`.
Fixes#9946
