serial parsing program
I'd like to find a program that has a very flexible serial input and can be
easily setup to parse a binary sentence. Specifically, U-Blox timing but
more general purpose would be nice for future projects. Has to be able to
handle 1, 2, and 4 byte fields, and checksums would be nice also. Should
run on Windows for the immediate project but Linux for next projects.

Hello Cash,
Check out Google Protocol Buffers
https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/
And here is a discussion of it from an embedded software perspective

Hope that helps.
Regards,
Abdul

RealTerm is my go-to for this sort of thing on Windows, though it
might not be quite as flexible as you'd like.
Linux: just mung together a pipeline involving things like xxd, awk, grep..

Hi Cash,
Have you looked at the sourcecode for the "gpsd" package? "packet.c" would probably be your starting point. The gpsd package parses pretty much every gps receiver. I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, or if you specifically want something high-level.

Python has a nice library struct that can take a binary buffer of just
about anything, integers, strings, etc, with any alignment or byte ordering
and parse it to a list of values. I've never had the need to use anything
else. Perl probably has the same as well.
