[Ovmsdev] PCAP CAN bus dump

Tom,

PCAP support is now in (for RE).

OVMS# re start
OVMS# re serve format cap
OVMS# re serve mode simulate

# Capture over Wifi to pcap
$ nc OVMS.local 3000 >my.pcap

# Replay pcap over Wifi
$ nc OVMS.local 3000 <my.pcap >/dev/null

Seems to work ok, but I only support big endian micro-second resolution pcaps (at the moment). You’d need to fix byte ordering in the pcap header record to be able to replay your existing pcaps into it.

I’ve tested some simulated captures, into Wireshark, and it seems fine for me. Will try in a real car tomorrow. Thanks for your help with the captures. Very helpful to see what is going on with a real example.

Regards, Mark.
