==== Requirements ==== |
|||
this site explains how to get empiatech devices or similar running with linux by applying changes which might only work with your device. |
|||
==== USBView output ==== |
|||
[[Image:usbview.png]] |
|||
We also need the linux usbview output of your device |
|||
==== Get usbsnoop for windows ==== |
|||
The latest supported version is 1.8 you'll find it at the bottom of that website '''not ontop of it''' |
|||
* WinXP/Win2K |
|||

|||
if the link is down, you can also ask in IRC |
|||
*UPDATE* |
|||
there's a new version available for Vista: |
|||
* http://www.pcausa.com/Utilities/UsbSnoop/default.htm |
|||
==== Set up usbsnoop and start sniffing ==== |
|||
Attach the sniffer to your device and start logging: |
|||
[[Image:sniffer06.png]] |
|||
Finally start up your TV application again, everything will slow down after it's started but it's worth doing it that way hardware analyzers cost a few thousand dollars... please sniff about <b>200 - 300 MB!</b> it will be easier for analyzing. |
|||
More information about the what you can do with that logfile can be found on the [http://mcentral.de/wiki/index.php/Usbreplay USBReplay projectsite] |
|||
== Log2Bin == |
|||
There's a small script in my repository (http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mrechberger/v4l-dvb) called v4l_experimental/em2880/log2bin.pl. It is capable of parsing the usbsnoop.log logfile and extract the isoc data and print it in a binary format. I used it for analyzing a sniffed windows usbaudio stream. |
|||
Usage (for example): |
|||
perl log2bin.pl < usbsnoop.log | aplay --format=S16_LE --rate=9600 |
|||
(you might have to change the endpoint address in the perl script to get it work like that): |
|||
perl log2bin.pl < usbsnoop.log | mplayer -rawvideo on:yuy2:w=352:h=264 - |
|||
try various width and height values, you might also have to adjust the format (yuy2 in that case) |
|||
== USB Replay == |
|||
USB Replay supports replaying usbsnoop logfiles in linux using usbfs. |
|||
Currently USB Control Messages and USB Bulk Messages are supported |
