meshthing-serial-bridge

This program reads packets from the serial port and writes them to a unix pipe.

overview

This program expects packets to be encoded with a single byte length prefix, then the packet data.

This program creates a fifo which is located at /tmp/wireshark at the moment, this can be used by wireshark as a capture source.

building

Ensure you have golang 1.2 installed and just run make.

make

Binary is moved to bin/sniffer-bridge

usage

Usage of sniffer-bridge:
  -port="": optional path to serial device
  -version=false: print the version information

Run sniffer-bridge in a terminal, if you omit the -port it will search for a usbserial device and use that (OSX only at the moment).

sniffer-bridge -port=/dev/tty.usbmodem1411

Then run wireshark in another terminal.

tshark -i /tmp/wireshark

meshthing-serial-bridge's Issues

Need to add some code for linux compat around baud rates

Getting issues with the baud rate related native code in linux.

Add build script to enable "build anywhere" independent of $GOPATH

This was done to enable people to hack on this project in situ and avoid the golangs $GOPATH workspace requirements.
