I use the TI MSP-FET Flash Emulation Tool to provide a usb/serial type connection to some devices. The tool establishes two com port connections to the computer: one for flashing the firmware to a device it's connected, and the other for providing Uart information from the device.
Normally, I use Ubuntu to SSH the computer where the tool and device is attached, then TMUX and picocom to get the device Uart info to display in the session window. My goal is to combine time stamped Uart information from the device with reference data I'm collecting in LabView. I'm not trying to use LabView to automate the firmware flashing, at least not yet.
I've debated different approaches to try. I thought about just recording the SSH session and removing the non-Uart device info. I also thought about using ExtraPutty to record the session and then use LabView to read information from the recorded file. But it seems like there should be a way to directly read the Uart info from the Texax Instrument's tool straight into Labview.
Any suggestions, ideas, or links to info that would help me?
Thanks!
