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.

# USB_OTG CDC Console Example
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
This example is similar to the [advanced console example](../advanced/README.md), but instead of the UART it uses the USB CDC port provided by USB_OTG peripheral for console output.
The example uses the [Console Component](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/api-reference/system/console.html#console) to create an interactive shell.
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).
## How to use example
### Hardware Required
This example can run on an ESP32-S2 development board, with a USB cable connected to GPIO19 and GPIO20.
### Build and Flash
Build the project, by running:
```
idf.py build
```
First time flashing can be done over USB or over UART.
#### Flashing the project for the first time using UART
This is the same procedure described in the Getting Started Guide. Flashing is done using a USB-Serial adapter included on the development board. Determine the device name of the serial port (`PORT`) and run:
```
idf.py -p PORT flash
```
#### Flashing the project for the first time using USB
We can also use the ESP32-S2 built-in USB bootloader to flash the program for the first time.
1. Connect the development board using a USB breakout cable to the computer.
2. Put the chip into bootloader (download) mode, by holding "Boot" button (connected to GPIO0) and pressing "Reset" button.
3. A USB serial port device will appear in the system:
- On Windows, it will be one of COM ports
- On Linux, it will by /dev/ttyACMn (n is some number)
- On macOS, it will be /dev/tty.usbmodemN (N is some number)
If the port doesn't appear, check that the board has entered the bootloader mode, and that the USB cable is connected correctly.
4. Flash the board:
```
idf.py -p PORT flash
```
### View the console output over USB
Once the board is flashed for the first time, a USB serial port will appear in the system.
**Note: if you have used the step above to flash the board over USB, note that the port name may change after flashing!**
To start the monitor, run:
```
idf.py -p PORT monitor
```
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. Note that GPIO15 is 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).
```
This is an example of ESP-IDF console component.
Type 'help' to get the list of commands.
Use UP/DOWN arrows to navigate through command history.
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.

### No USB port appears
On Windows 10, macOS, Linux, USB CDC devices do not require additional drivers to be installed.
If the USB serial port doesn't appear in the system after flashing the example, check the following:
* Check that the USB device is detected by the OS.
VID/PID pair for ESP32-S2 is 303a:0002.
- On Windows, check the Device Manager
- On macOS, check USB section in the System Information utility
- On Linux, check `lsusb` output
* If the device is not detected, check the USB cable connection (D+, D-, and ground should be connected)
