Re: [sigrok-devel] USB3 logic analyzer with FT601

Hi, 1. Lambda Concept already did a FT60X open source Linux driver!  These guys rock!  https://github.com/lambdaconcept/ft60x_driver 2. Yep 3. On top of that there is a handshake for the fifo that could be done in discreet logic but would probably be easier / cheaper in a pld or FPGA then you c

Hi All, interesting, but I don't think it's a good idea: 1. I found no documentation on the USB protocol. This would have to be reverse-engineered from the closed source D3XX driver. 2. There is a very limited buffer on the chip itself (a couple of kB). 3. The chip is meant to implement clocked

Hi! There is some basic documentation on the wiki: https://sigrok.org/wiki/Hardware_driver_API I personally don't find the API that bad, though I would prefer if this could be C++, that is a matter of choice. The API seems pretty straightforward, however I have never implemented a device, so I

There are things you can do here. The higher the number, the more complex it is: 0) create a github account. 1) Goto github.com, search the sigrok repository, and fork all the 14 repositories to your own account. https://github.com/orgs/sigrokproject/repositories 2) Check if your github reposi

Actually, I specifically asked because I wanted to see if I could write a generic stdin/stdout driver that could simply move that heavy-lifting in "user space" as an external process written in whatever language. Much like what libfuse is to filesystems. Rationale : I'm coming from the munin monit

I also hope it won't die. I think it's well worth supporting. I'm not in a great position to do that myself but will try to do something if I can. I have been watching the project for a while, and think that the original developers burnt out (too many demands, not enough encouragement, not enough

That makes a complete sense and would allow to decouple the device drivers. I've personally written some munin plugins and while the complexity is nowhere near what sigrok needs, it would make sense. The API calls would have to be translated somehow. If anybody would want to go through this effort

Hi all! It's sad that sigrok is not receiving much attention and I understand the original maintainer(s) might not have the time or interest to continue development. However, the project still works great for many use cases and there are a lot of PRs open on github, many of them reasonably new -
