I am not sure if this forum allows to discuss jailbroken apps. Here's the problem. There is a marvelous project on github called CADashboard.
https://github.com/frankus/CADashboard
It reads the data from the virtual serial port and displays it with several gauges on iDevices.
The whole job is done using external accessory library in the following file:
https://github.com/frankus/CADashboard/blob/master/Classes/CycleAnalystAppDelegate.m
Besides, I found a marvelous library, which helps to communicate over the hardware serial port (tty.iap)
http://sourceforge.net/p/serialforios/home/Home/
and here is a gorgeous tutorial on using it:

The task is to rebuild CADashboard project in such a way to avoid using that MIf cable and work directly with serial port. I even created a fork on github, but the thing is I am not a developer and I don't posses any knowledge of objective C. I spent couple of evenings trying to get it work together, but in vain.

So far I have an external device which sends these lines over the serial port, and I can read these lines with a minicom on my iPod. I desperately need help to adopt the code - this might be useful not only for me.
