I'm trying to use the evaluation copy to monitor serial activity on /dev/ttyUSB0. I got the kernel module installed and ran the app and created a serial monitor session on /dev/ttyUSB0. I get the "Capture started on /dev/ttyUSB0" message when I start capture but I don't see any data displayed. I know my device is sending data because the LEDs on the USB to serial adapter are flashing. Also, my application that is using the serial port is working. Why wouldn't I see the captured data when I start capturing?
I'm running on a Raspberry Pi 4.
@david-betz
Hello David,
Which version of tdevmon and which Raspbian (most importantly, the Linux kernel version) you are using?
tdevmon
$ ./tdevmon --version $ screenfetch $ # or uname -a
When you run the "Serial Monitor" plugin, do you see notifications about port open/close (but no reads/writes)? Or no notifications about port activity at all?
I get this far:
Session started Capture started on /dev/ttyUSB0
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo tdevmon --version Tibbo Device Monitor v3.3.9 (arm32) Built on: Sep 6 2021 09:37:19
Tibbo Device Monitor kernel module (arm32) v3.3.9 Built on: Jun 3 2022 16:40:26
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ uname -a Linux raspberrypi 5.15.32-v7l+ #1538 SMP Thu Mar 31 19:39:41 BST 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux
Does it initially crash?
Please reboot your Raspberry Pi, build and load tdevmon.ko, then, instead of running IO Ninja, navigate to tdevmon-3.3.9-linux-arm32/bin and run:
tdevmon.ko
tdevmon-3.3.9-linux-arm32/bin
$ ./tdevmon -m /dev/ttyUSB0
Will it segfault?
Please try replacing the kernel module sources in share/tdevmon/src/lkm with these:
share/tdevmon/src/lkm
lkm-src.tar.xz
It looks like there's a bug in page protection removal code on ARM introduced in tdevmon-3.3.9...
tdevmon-3.3.9
@vladimir Yes, this does give me a segfault. This is even after I installed the new kernel module you posted in your other message.
Here is the output of dmesg after the segfault.

OK, thanks. I will try to match your Raspbian as close as possible and see if I get it.
@vladimir Thanks!
Hmmm.. I installed exactly the same kernel as on your box:
vladimir@raspberrypi:~ $ uname -a Linux raspberrypi 5.15.32-v7+ #1538 SMP Thu Mar 31 19:38:48 BST 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux
Then overwritten the contents of src/lkm with the archive I uploaded earlier. It works!

Are you sure you rebooted, or at the very least, removed the previous instance of tdevmon.ko via rmmod before testing? Also, please make sure you overwrite all source files, not simply unpack the archive into src/lkm (thus creating src/lkm/lkm).
rmmod
src/lkm/lkm
Actually, to make things more straightforward, here's a re-packaged patch:
tdevmon-3.3.9-a-linux-arm32.tar.gz
Please let me know if it works (again, reboot before testing).
