Serial debug message and HDLC message logger.
Install with pip. This will add scripts serial-logger and tail-serial-log to the path.
Specify port and baudrate.
serial-logger /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
HDLC mode is activated with the --hdlc switch. Messages are expected to be framed with 0x7E bytes. Escape bytes are not processed.
The serial-logger always logs data to a file, unless the --nolog option is given. The default logging path is ~/log, but
it can also be specified with --logdir or through the environment with SERIAL_LOGGER_LOGDIR.
The package includes a special tail-serial-log command that also supports log coloring. When using regular tail, it
is best to point tail at the log_PORTNAME_latest.txt file with the capital -F option. tail -F log_PORTNAME_latest.txt will detect changes
to the symlink.
mote-serial-logger can be packaged into a Windows executable. For that you need to install PyInstaller with
python -m pip install pyinstaller. All dependencies(requirements.txt) need to be installed on the build machine.
The executable can be created by running the build.bat batch file. serial-logger.exe should then get created in the dist directory.
