Hi,
Thanks for the clarification. I had misunderstood the patch that added the
coremask warning and incorrectly assumed that -c was deprecated. Upon
closer review, I see that the patch only adds warning logs when using
coremask but does not deprecate the -c option. The actual problem is that
the warning message includes a '>', which causes send_expect('>') to return
prematurely and miss important test output. I will address this in v2 by
changing the expected prompt to 'RTE>'.
