Description

Test programs that use shell and have stdio_cdc_acm enabled show corruption of the first input to shell. So far I have just seen this on my sodaq-sara-sff boards, but I assume this is true for all sam0 (arduino style boards).

Steps to reproduce the issue

  • build one of the test programs
  • connect a "term"
  • look at the output
  • type help and ENTER

Expected results

The banner should be printed, the test program's introduction and a prompt.

Actual results

With make ... term you'd see something like this:

$ make CC_NOCOLOR=1 BOARD=sodaq-sara-sff -C tests/periph/gpio flash term
make: Entering directory '/home/kees/src/RIOT/tests/periph/gpio'
Building application "tests_gpio" for "sodaq-sara-sff" with MCU "samd21".

"make" -C /home/kees/src/RIOT/pkg/cmsis/ 
...
/home/kees/src/RIOT/dist/tools/pyterm/pyterm -p "/dev/ttyACM0" -b "115200"

Sometimes I see part of the banner on the shell input.
