7 April / 93aefde release build breaks on ansi toolbar:
Hi,

Currently running:

Bus Pirate 6
https://BusPirate.com/
Firmware main branch @ 7eeadf8 (Mar 16 2026 14:01:54)
RP2350B with 512KB RAM, 128Mbit FLASH
S/N: B5187BF616DC1EAB
Storage:   0.10GB (FAT16 File System)

Which works fine.

When I update to 7 April / 93aefde release build, my terminal just go black when ansi toolbar gets enabled, ive tried multiple terminals and same problem.

Using Linux and Alacritty, tried both screen and tio.

Hello, sorry for the delay.

Are you compiling the firmware yourself?

The thing is, between that commit and the latest there aren’t any changes impacting VT100 stuff.

  • There is another bug of a buffer overflow on large terminals, I will investigate that next as it may be related.
  • The dumb LLM suggested changes to the VT100 init, but we haven’t touched that in ages. We could try making that changes and see if it works, but I somehow doubt the proposed solution.

I pushed a fix with an alternate terminal init sequence and some other terminal size related fixes. Could you please let me know if this resolves the issue?
