Title: USB Monitor in the background
Post by: gi on November 19, 2013, 10:11:34 pm
Hi Jan,

I would like to ask if possible to have a background software usb monitor/sniffer running and saving the usb traffic while the main application is running and interacting to the HID USB device attached for debugging purposes?

Can I use the example you have (or other free usb host software elsewhere) in the HID Page (generic_hid_cs - modify to get only (read-only) the data sent/received by the HID usb device) to work as usb monitor/sniffer in the background of my main application?

I tried busdog but it doesn't have a timestamp (local time log) and it will install filter, I just need a console like usb sniffer.

Thanks
Gi

The analyzer has to use a low-level driver that can capture the traffic.

See the software-only analyzers here:
