I am trying to develop an application in Java that loads firmware to an embedded device
over a serial port. The serial port can be USB<->serial, Ethernet<->serial, or actual
serial ports. The data transfer works in two parts.
The first part works flawlessly on Linux, and does not work on Windows. There is a bug
that is eluding me causing the second part to fail.
There is a utility for Windows (http://www.hhdsoftware.com/sermon.html) that I have that
attaches itself to the serial driver and displays all data going to/coming from the
selected COM port. Problem is that my application, for whatever reason (I believe it's
because Windows Java blows chunks), will not work in any version of Windows (I basically
get screwed up data over the COM ports or Rx/Tx timeouts).
So, I'm wondering if anyone knows of anything for Linux that will do the same kind of
thing so that I can more effectively debug the broken second part. I do not have the time
to write anything to do it or screw with kernel compiling or any such thing. I need
something that just works OOTB.
Thanks,
PGA
