beta-tester 940530c505 doc: redirect console page
Previous the console doc is moved from api-guide to api-reference, which
broken the URL as well, this commit added a redirect link to ensure the
old URL can still work.

# Basic Console Example (`esp_console_repl`)
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
This example illustrates the usage of the REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) APIs of the [Console Component](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/api-reference/system/console.html#console) to create an interactive shell on the ESP chip. The interactive shell running on the ESP chip can then be controlled/interacted with over a serial interface. This example supports UART and USB interfaces.
The interactive shell implemented in this example contains a wide variety of commands, and can act as a basis for applications that require a command-line interface (CLI).
Compared to the [advanced console example](../advanced), this example requires less code to initialize and run the console. `esp_console_repl` API handles most of the details. If you'd like to customize the way console works (for example, process console commands in an existing task), please check the advanced console example.
## How to use example
This example can be used on boards with UART and USB interfaces. The sections below explain how to set up the board and configure the example.
### Using with UART
When UART interface is used, this example should run on any commonly available Espressif development board. UART interface is enabled by default (`CONFIG_ESP_CONSOLE_UART_DEFAULT` option in menuconfig). No extra configuration is required.
### Using with USB_SERIAL_JTAG
On chips with USB_SERIAL_JTAG peripheral, console example can be used over the USB serial port.
* First, connect the USB cable to the USB_SERIAL_JTAG interface.
* Second, run `idf.py menuconfig` and enable `CONFIG_ESP_CONSOLE_USB_SERIAL_JTAG` option.
For more details about connecting and configuring USB_SERIAL_JTAG (including pin numbers), see the IDF Programming Guide:
* [ESP32-C3 USB_SERIAL_JTAG](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/esp32c3/api-guides/usb-serial-jtag-console.html)
* [ESP32-S3 USB_SERIAL_JTAG](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/esp32s3/api-guides/usb-serial-jtag-console.html)
### Using with USB CDC (USB_OTG peripheral)
USB_OTG peripheral can also provide a USB serial port which works with this example.
* First, connect the USB cable to the USB_OTG peripheral interface.
* Second, run `idf.py menuconfig` and enable `CONFIG_ESP_CONSOLE_USB_CDC` option.
For more details about connecting and configuring USB_OTG (including pin numbers), see the IDF Programming Guide:
* [ESP32-S2 USB_OTG](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/esp32s2/api-guides/usb-otg-console.html)
* [ESP32-S3 USB_OTG](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/esp32s3/api-guides/usb-otg-console.html)
### Other configuration options
This example has an option to store the command history in Flash. This option is enabled by default.
To disable this, run `idf.py menuconfig` and disable `CONFIG_CONSOLE_STORE_HISTORY` option.
### Build and Flash
Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:
```
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
```
(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.)
(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
## Example Output
Enter the `help` command get a full list of all available commands. The following is a sample session of the Console Example where a variety of commands provided by the Console Example are used.
On ESP32, GPIO15 may be connected to GND to remove the boot log output.

## Troubleshooting
### Line Endings
The line endings in the Console Example are configured to match particular serial monitors. Therefore, if the following log output appears, consider using a different serial monitor (e.g. Putty for Windows) or modify the example's [UART configuration](#Configuring-UART-and-VFS).
```

Press TAB when typing command name to auto-complete.
Your terminal application does not support escape sequences.
Line editing and history features are disabled.
On Windows, try using Putty instead.
