Some students made GPS, which has display on LCD and serial port. Now they want to record data in a file on PC. For this can you suggest software, preferably platform independent and FOSS.
Thanks in advance.

They'll need to write a program to interface with the device via the serial port. There are a lot of tutorials on serial port programming. Please search the internet. I dont think theres a ready made program available to interface directly with your device lest you're using some standard protocol. You should give more details on that device.

If the microprocessor is SPI capable, you can connect MMC card for storing data. It will make the unit truly portable.
