Auto-Reply Patterns
Automate responses to common prompts. Perfect for boot sequences and login automation.
Overview
Auto-Reply (also called Flash React) automatically sends responses when specific patterns appear in terminal output. This is invaluable for embedded development where devices frequently prompt for input during boot or configuration.
Use with caution
Auto-Reply patterns can send sensitive data like passwords. Review patterns carefully and disable when not needed.
Built-in Patterns
NeuroTerm includes 7 default patterns commonly used in embedded development:
| Pattern | Trigger | Response |
|---|---|---|
| U-Boot Autoboot | Hit any key to stop | <space> |
| Login Prompt | login: | root |
| Password Prompt | Password: | (configurable) |
| Continue Prompt | [Y/n] | Y |
| Shell Restart | Press ENTER | <enter> |
| SSH Fingerprint | yes/no | yes |
| Sudo Password | [sudo] password | (configurable) |
Enabling Auto-Reply

Custom Patterns
Create custom patterns for your specific devices or workflows:
Pattern (Regex)
The text to watch for in terminal output. Can be a simple string or regular expression.
Response
The text to send when the pattern is matched. Use \n for newlines.
Delay (ms)
Optional delay before sending the response. Useful when devices need time to be ready.
Tips
- Disable auto-reply when not actively using it to prevent unintended responses
- Use specific patterns to avoid false matches (e.g., "login: $" instead of just "login")
- Test patterns with a short delay to ensure proper timing
