yeTTY views logs from serial ports

yeTTY is an application for embedded developers to view logs from a serial port.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

  • Text highlightin – uses KDE’s KTextEditor for displaying the logs. KTextEditor provides yeTTY with syntax highlighting and text search.
  • Auto reconnection – in case your board gets disconnected, yeTTY will keep on attempting to reconnect to the same port.
  • Audio alert on string match – monitor the output for a specified keyword and alert you with a sound upon match.
  • Long term run mode – keep the board running overnight. yeTTY will capture the logs from serial port and compress it and save them to storage.
  • Suspend during flashing – if your board uses the same serial port for both logs and flashing, prepend the flashing command with yetty_suspend to suspend yeTTY while the board is being flashed.
  • ESP32 Example – yetty_suspend ttyUSB0 idf.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 flash.
  • Auto baud rate detection – attempts to automatically detect the baud rate by trying out different baud rates till it finds one with readable ASCII text.
