Hi,
Answering your questions and Michael question, the url describes the
data coming from the hardware as is. Its format is defined by the
people developing FPGA firmware, that is currently not quite active:
https://github.com/openvizsla/ov_ftdi/tree/master/software/fpga So it
is unlikely that the format will change dramatically, but I just would
like to follow initial format as close as possible.
However, I agree that we can just use the following simple
representation for pcap:
struct {
uint32_t timestamp;
uint16_t flags;
uint8_t usb_packet[];
};
OpenVizsla supports only USB 2.0: low, full and high speed.

[tcpdump-workers] Link-layer header type request for libopenvizsla
Hello, I am working on libopenvizsla https://github.com/matwey/libopenvizsla It is a host software library for OpenVizsla. OpenVizsla http://openvizsla.org is open source USB analyzer hardware. It consists of FPGA with attached USB phy and FTDI chip for streaming the data to the host PC. Though libopenvizsla is in deep alpha state, it provides sufficient interface to start prototyping pcap module for OpenVizsla on top of it. And since I am going to store the sources publicly on GitHub I think it is better to ask for link-layer header type as early as possible. In any case I suppose that the constant may be reused for other (if any) projects bringing OpenVizsla to pcap. Unfortunately, data coming from OpenVizsla doesn't fit to any existing USB link layers headers. Current OpenVizsla data encapsulation format is described here: https://github.com/matwey/libopenvizsla/wiki/OpenVizsla-protocol-description What do you think? -- With best regards, Matwey V.
