Hi Ladislav, Steve, You are both correct but to me personally, such an effort feels misguided simply because it would further increase the complexity of libsigrok while cementing its role in the architecture. >From my perspective, the only sane way to move forward is to push libsigrokflow. Having

Hi Steve, I'm not quite sure what made you ask about the API documentation but since Ladislav already gave you the link, let me elaborate on my initial statement a little: My point is that to me personally, C is the wrong language to write device drivers in when no bit fiddling and no high-perfor

Hi Ladislav, Any help is appreciated, so if you have the motivation and time to help then I'll gladly give you PR modification permissions. If this is something you'd do, just mail me your github user name privately. I do very much want to clean up the PR queue of the sigrok projects but given my

It is great to see the interest in keeping sigrok alive! It fills an important function and I really hope it will be kept alive. I recently implemented a device driver for an FPGA based LA board I developed. It was difficult because documentation is incomplete and in the end reverse engineering

What if we request to add gatekeepers to the project, and additional domain/wiki managers?  I would prefer for clarity it doesn't fork, there's a strong brand/history and moving it all would lead to confusion.  Did you talk at length with any of the original owners? Cheers,Luc On Saturday, O

AFAIK the current implementation is also lacking on ways to relay the device limitations from the driver to the user, ie. max sample rate with the selected amount of channels, max sample depth for non-streaming devices. On Wed, 15 Oct 2025, Ladislav Laska wrote: > That makes a complete sense and

I also have permissions on github to close and thus triage pull requests. Currently I do not have the time to do triage myself, but if given strong hints to where to look I can then help clean the queue of stale or bad pull requests. On Mon, 13 Oct 2025, Soeren Apel wrote: > Hi Ladislav, > > I co
