RTT to COM real time bridge

[Roman Veselskyi]

Hello,

I’m wondering if there is a way to forward data from RTT to a COM port on Windows.

I’m currently evaluating the GPS performance of my custom PCB using the GNSS sample, and I can only retrieve the data through RTT. However, I’d like to use VisualGPSView for testing, and that application only accepts data from a COM port. Is there any way to redirect the RTT data to a COM port so that VisualGPSView can read it?

Hi, 

Might also want to check with the SEGGER community here if someone has done anything similar.  

What I think is the only option here is to write the data to a file and then use a virtual COM to forward the data to the GPS viewer you use.  if you need a live feed, you will need to replace the file input of the python script, or something with a live pipe from the RTT view most likely. 

Have not tested this, just my initial thoughts.
