TermDriver 2

Description

Excamera Labs TermDriver 2 combines a USB-to-serial interface with an integrated screen for observing serial traffic during authorised hardware testing, embedded development and security research. It can operate as a serial adapter or as a standalone monitor, so teams can inspect console output without connecting an external computer.

Key features

• Standalone operation: Monitor serial traffic without an external host computer.
• Integrated display: View live traffic on a high-contrast IPS screen.
• ANSI terminal emulation: Supports ANSI control codes, colours, layouts and cursor positioning.
• Automatic configuration: Detects baud rate and serial configuration across supported connections.
• Line monitoring: Displays RX, TX, RTS and DTR activity in real time.
• Embedded power: Can provide up to 350 mA at 3.3 V to a connected device.
• Convenient connections: Uses standard 0.1-inch header pins and Dupont-compatible connections.

Technical details

• Baud rates from 110 to 2,000,000 bps.
• 230 pixels-per-inch IPS display.
• Dual-core RP2040 microcontroller with ARM Cortex-M0+ cores.
• Micro-USB host connection.
• RTS and DTR control-signal monitoring.

Compatibility and setup

Connect the TermDriver 2 to a compatible serial interface using its standard header pins, then use the Micro-USB connection when host operation is required. The manufacturer documentation should be checked for current firmware, operating-system support, voltage requirements and any additional accessories before deployment.
