rshell no micropython boards connected

[philwilkinson40]

I have been using rshell for years on Ubuntu and it is a great tool.

However, I have recently attempted to use rshell it on a Raspberry Pi connected by a USB serial to an ESP32.
The raspberry pi uses the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS Lite
I have flashed the latest stable version of ESP32 (1.13) firmware on the connected board
I have enabled the serial port permissions

rshell fails to find any connected boards.
picocom connects to the board without any problem using:

Code: Select all

picocom /dev/ttyUSB0 -b115200

There appears to be no post on the forum similar to this issue, so perhaps it is something very obvious I am missing!
Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure that rshell will only automatcally detect the pybord. For other devices you need to specify the port using the -p command:

Code: Select all

 rshell -p /dev/ttyUSB0

or use the connect command from within rshell.

Damn!
I must have got so used to using the pyboard I forgot how to connect a ESP!
Apologies
