Hi Rich, I'm on mobile so no inline reply this time.

If you can copy/paste the TSV file to pastebin.com or similar place I can inspect the file and see what tidy is choking on.

As far as next steps go, it seems you are on the right track. Make a small change, get another radiotrace file and do a difference/comparison.

I have a regular expression I use (on my computer) that adds spaces in between the hex characters so graphical diff programs like Meld work better when they perform highlighting. I can pull that up if you (or anyone in chirp-devel) is interested.

Thanks for the reply Tony.
TShark version is 2.6.8.
Yes, I have to remove the space between the dash and the i in the start_trace command. I also have to 'sudo modprobe usbmon' and 'touch cap.pcap'  before starting.
(time goes by)
I was trying to capture a read from the radio. If I run tidy on this data to stdout I can see where the fault takes place in the tsv but I don't know why.
I had success sniffing a write to the radio and I now have a nice radiotrace file.
What is the next step? I will make some subtle changes and figure out how the memories are laid out.
Rich

Did you have to update the start_trace.sh script and remove the space between the dash and the i? start_trace.sh didnt work for me until I did that
tshark - i usbmon$bus -w cap.pcap
vs
tshark -i usbmon$bus -w cap.pcap

Just ensuring that you are compiling tidy.c using the info at the wiki: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersUSB_Sniffing_in_Linux

This doesn't help but I can reliably crash tidy with the non-tsv file so, maybe open up the TSV file in a text editor and ensure it "looks good"?

The c file is written with a pretty high expectation that the TSV file is perfect so I suspect the TSV file formatting.

What version of tshark are you using (tshark --version from a command line should be sufficient)
