Serial Port Sniffer Open Source
Free Serial Analyzer is a non-intrusive Serial Port sniffer and software RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 protocol analyzer for Windows. Using this freeware RS232/RS485/RS422 logic analyzer utility you'll be able to capture/display any data and commands transmitted via Serial Ports of your computer. Just plug in a sniffer serial cable to a 3rd machine with QNX. Execute the sniffer app ritten by u which is just a simple serial read write program. It will definitely work. Always remember the sniffer application u wrote should be set in the same baud and data rate in which ur serial communication works. RS232 Data Logger by Eltima Software is an Open Source application which will allow you to easily redirect all communication data from RS232 compliant serial port device into a text file for. Serial Port Monitor is a professional application for RS232/422/485 COM ports monitoring. It monitors, displays, logs and analyzes all serial port activity in a system. Open Hub computes statistics on FOSS projects by examining source code and commit history in source code management systems. This project has no code locations, and so Open. Serial port monitor from Eltima. This software is able to sniff and monitor all serial port activity in a system. Works with x64 OS. But you asked for freeware.

First connection
Assign .inf on Windows
- The OLS connects to a computer as a USB virtual serial port in normal operating mode. The first time you plug it in, give Windows the .inf file from a firmware archive to assign the correct drivers.
Get a software client
Download and install a logic analyzer client. There are several, but we recommendJawi's SUMP fork. SUMP requires Java, get it here. More about using SUMP in Logic Sniffer 102.
Operating modes
A PIC microcontroller is the interface glue for the Logic Sniffer. It has three operating modes:
- Normal - a SPI to USB bridge for the SUMP logic analyzer (appears as a serial port)
- ROM Updater - upload a new FPGA bitstream to the ROM chip (appears as a serial port)
- Bootloader - update the main firmware in the PIC (appears as a USB HID device)
Normal mode
The PIC usually operates in a transparent USB->SPI bridge that connects the SUMP build in the FPGA with the SUMP client on a computer. This is the default startup mode after a reset or power-up. Press the reset button to enter normal operating mode from any other mode.
The ACT LED will blink while the FPGA loads the bitstream contained in the ROM chip. If the FPGA doesn't load after a few seconds, because of an error or blank ROM chip, the PIC will automatically enter ROM update mode and the ACT LED will illuminate (see ROM updater below).
The ACT LED will turn off when the FPGA is configured and ready. The OLS then enumerates as a USB virtual serial port device. The first time you plug it in, you may need to feed Windows the .inf file in the project archive to assign driver to the device.
Once enumerated, the ACT LED blinks to indicate any USB activity.
ROM Updater
ROM updater mode is used to program a new FPGA bitstream into the flash storage chip.This feature lets us release FPGA design updates that can be loaded over the USB interface.
To enter ROM update mode, press the reset button while holding the update button. The PIC will also automatically enter ROM update mode if the FPGA doesn't load correctly because of an error or blank ROM chip. The ACT LED will light in this mode.
The OLS enumerates as a USB virtual serial port in ROM update mode, this is the same connection type as the normal operating mode. The first time you plug it in, give Windows the .inf file from the project folder to assign the correct drivers to the device.
Bootloader
We used the Diolan open source (GPL) USB bootloader in this project. The bootloader appears as a USB HID device, and a small utility uploads a new firmware to the PIC. We started with the bootloader source from the Dangerous Prototypes' USB Infrared Toy and ported it to the 18F24J50.
Enter bootloader mode by placing a jumper between PGC and PGD pins and press the reset button, or run the ols-loader utility with the -b flag. The ACT LED will light when the bootloader is active. Use the fw_update.exe utility under Windows, or ols-fw-update under Linux to load new PIC firmware with the bootloader.
LED indicators
ACT and PWR LED
The PWR LED indicates that the board is powered over USB. It will stay on until the board is disconnected from USB.
| ACT LED | Status |
|---|---|
| Blinking, then off with TRIG LED on | Normal SUMP mode |
| Solid | Bootloader or ROM update mode |
| Rapid blinking | Failed self-test |
| Blinking, then solid on (TRIG LED off) | FPGA failed to load, auto enter ROM update mode |
The ACT LED shows the connection status and current Logic Sniffer mode (normal, bootloader, ROM update, or self-test error). The ACT LED will also blink to show USB data transfer activity.
Error: failed self-test
The PIC does a self-test at each power on to make sure the major components of the Logic Sniffer are working. If the test fails, the ACT LED will blink rapidly and the Logic Sniffer will not continue the loading process. It currently tests:
- Pull-up resistors must be high (update button, R4)
- 2.5volt power must be within 10% (VR2)
- 1.2volt power must be within 10% (VR3) *rev 1.03+ only
Error: FPGA failed to load
The FPGA loads the logic analyzer bitstream from the flash storage chip on the Logic Sniffer. It takes a second to load, the ACT LED will blink while the PIC waits for it to complete. When the ROM is loaded the TRIG LED will turn on.
The PIC won't wait forever though. If the FPGA fails to load after a few seconds, because of damage or a blank flash ROM chip, the PIC will automatically enter ROM update mode and the ACT LED turns solid on (the TRIG LED should be off).
A possible solution is to try reloading the FPGA bitstream with the ols-loader utility.
ARM and TRIG LED
Download forza horizon 2 torrent. LED functions in normal SUMP mode.
| State | TRIG | ARM | note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power on | ON | OFF | After connecting to USB the TRIG LED will turn on, and stay on, until a capture is started |
| Capture no trigger | ON | OFF | TRIG LED stays on if no trigger is used for the capture |
| Capture with trigger | OFF | ON | TRIG LED turns off, ARM LED turns on until the trigger condition is met |
| Capture complete | ON | OFF | TRIG LED stays on after a capture begins |
