I’m working on an embedded system and it uses one serial port for all it’s logging purposes.
Is there a tool out there that allows you to filter lines into different windows (or remove them altogether) so that I can separate the output of the various logging sub-systems and remove spam messages that show up multiple times a second?
I’d prefer an open-source solution, but a highly-recommend closed product might do.
I’ve never thought of doing such a thing, but here’s one product that might do the trick: Eltima Serial Port Splitter. It claims to be able to take one COM port and turn it into multiple virtual ports to connect to many applications. You might be able to take each application and just look at one kind of output.
Personally, I would just write a python script with PySerial and something like PyQT or wxPython (GUI libraries) to filter the data to different windows. It’s an easy language to learn and makes a handy tool for embedded systems development for things such as this.
