Is it possible to start an STLink serial terminal from within the IDE?

[pcbwiz]

I can manually start Tera Term and connect Serially, but I cannot find how to do this from within the IDE. Is this possible? Maybe a project option that needs enabled?

Using STM32CubeIDE 1.6

Thanks

I just found it. If you click enough buttons (I could not find where the info is in help).

The info I found online showed the icon for the 'Display Selected Console', so it added a bit of a twist.

Here is how to invoke:

• Start a Debug session.
• Click on the Open Console button.
• Select 'Command Shell Console'.
• Set Connection Type: 'Serial Port'
  • Click new and give some name, e.g., STLINK_Serial (this name will be available on subsequent access)
  • Set Encoding to UTF-8
• Click OK to display output

Cheers,
