Dear All, We have gone through following link about the serial monitoring tool. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Serial-HOWTO-11.html#serial_mon However, we know about the USBMON which is used to monitor the USB traffic on the USB bus. Like USBMON, which is the best one? Is there any other tool, apart from the above link, for monitoring the serial data?\ Thanks in advance. Regards, Madhavi M.

15 years ago, there were a number of serial monitor programs And even dedicated hardware devices. The ones I used required a three headed cable. (or maybe 4, its been a long time.) I was using commercial software at the time. I don't recall if it was linux or windows (or even dos back then). Good Luck finding something, Greg

I have a nifty little hardware gadget called Logic. It's an 8 channel logic analyzer by a company called Saleae, and it has Linux/Windows/Mac GUI clients available for it. http://www.saleae.com/logic/features/ It has decoders that can decode async serial. You may need voltage converters in order to make it work (depends on your HW). It also works with i2c and spi. I also have an even cheaper device called a Bus Pirate. It doesn't need a GUI, you talk to it using a terminal emulator. http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9544 It can deal with serial, i2c, spi. It can deal with wider input voltages without requiring external voltage converters. For the more adventurous, there is a 32-channel device called "OpenBench Logic Sniffer" http://gadgetforge.gadgetfactory.net/gf/project/butterflylogic/ I've heard that there are issues getting the UI running under linux. I have one, but haven't gotten around to using it yet. -- Dave Hylands Shuswap, BC, Canada http://www.davehylands.com
