Write Protocol Output Directly to File

[GeorgeIoak]

I've got Protocol setup to capture I2C data and that's working well but I'm trying to analyze communication when running the I2C bus at 400kHz and compare it against 100kHz traffic. I'm loading firmware over I2C and trying to find why when doing this at 400kHz the firmware isn't loaded properly. 

The traffic is too large for the "buffer" so I was wondering if someone has a script or point me to the best way to use the I2C protocol decoding and have it write directly to a file so I can capture all of the traffic.

Hi @GeorgeIoak

You could use the 4th device configuration to have more device buffer.
For such, probably timing issues it might be better to use the Logic Analyzer and try to trigger on the issue or on its consequence, like on an odd NAK...

I am using the 4th option. The problem doesn't seem to be consistent so I was hoping to just do a bunch of captures and diff the results. The LA captures are harder to work with because every transaction is on a separate line and doesn't always match up.

 

I was hoping there was an easy way to script the protocol output to just write to a file

Hi @GeorgeIoak

The next software version will have 'record to file' in protocol/i2c

That will be very helpful, thank you!
