The sigrok project aims at creating a portable, cross-platform,
|
2012-10-08 16:52:36 +00:00
|
|
|
Free/Libre/Open-Source signal analysis software suite that supports various
|
2012-10-10 21:08:32 +00:00
|
|
|
device types (such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, multimeters, and more).

libsigrok is a shared library written in C which provides the basic API
|
2012-10-08 16:52:36 +00:00
|
|
|
for talking to hardware and reading/writing the acquired data into various
|
|
|
|
|
input/output file formats.

Status
|
|
|
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
libsigrok is in a usable state and has had official tarball releases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While the API can change from release to release, this will always be
|
|
|
|
|
properly documented and reflected in the package version number and
|
|
|
|
|
in the shared library / libtool / .so-file version numbers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, there are _NO_ guarantees at all for stable APIs in git snapshots!
|
|
|
|
|
Distro packagers should only use released tarballs (no git snapshots).

Building and installing
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to get the libsigrok source code and build it, run:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-10-08 16:52:36 +00:00
|
|
|
$ git clone git://sigrok.org/libsigrok
|
|
|
|
|
$ cd libsigrok
|
2011-12-30 21:38:25 +00:00
|
|
|
$ ./autogen.sh
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For installing libsigrok:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Firmware
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some devices supported by libsigrok need a firmware to be uploaded before the
|
|
|
|
|
device can be used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The default location where libsigrok expects the firmware files is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$prefix/share/sigrok-firmware
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
($prefix is usually /usr/local or /usr, depending on your ./configure options)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
