The currently supported model LAP-C(16032) doesn't support the
samplerates 150MHz and 200MHz which some of the other models have.
Thus, do not report these samplerates to the frontends. E.g. sigrok-cli
should not show them via --show and GUIs should not list them in their
"Samplerates" drop-down.
- Explicitly list .config_get in all drivers for consistency, and set it
to NULL if unused (whether or not a driver implements it is optional).
- List all 'struct sr_dev_driver' entries in the same order in all drivers.
- Move the check whether .config_set/.config_list exist (i.e., are non-NULL)
into sanity_check_all_drivers().
This is a small helper function which sends the SR_DF_HEADER packet that
drivers usually emit in their hw_dev_acquisition_start() API callback.
It simplifies and shortens the hw_dev_acquisition_start() functions
quite a bit.
It also simplifies the input modules which send an SR_DF_HEADER packet, too.
This patch also automatically removes some unneeded malloc/free in some
drivers for the 'packet' and 'header' structs used for SR_DF_HEADER.
Check the relevant arguments for != NULL before calling the actual
driver-specific function, so that the driver can safely assume those
arguments are non-NULL. This removes the need to duplicate these
checks in every driver.
This patch might also work for a number of other Brymen models
-- 859(a), 867, 869---
including their respective rebadges from Greenlee, Extech, and Amprobe.

Sending an SR_DF_META packet at the start of every stream is not
mandatory; the frontend should ask for what it needs, and any extra
information the driver wants to send will come in due time.
Currently hw_info_get() can receive requests for entries (info_id) that
the specific driver doesn't support. That is (right now) a valid
use-case and not an error (might change later, though).
Thus, for now, don't output messages for such requests at all (certainly
not as sr_err() where they show up in e.g. sigrok-cli output per default).
Errors while opening or configuring ALSA devices during scan for devices
should not be shown by default (i.e., no sr_err() usage). Non-working
or non-accessible devices (due to permissions or other reasons) will
simply not show up in frontends. Use sr_dbg() instead of sr_err().

samplerates, then limit the selection to only those values. The frontend can
query the list of supported samplerates.

The alsa driver requested signed 16-bit integers from ALSA, but casted them to
to an unsigned 16bit before finally casting them to a float. The end result was
that half of the wave would be clipped off.
We also requested data in little endian format. ALSA can be instructed to send
data with the correct endianness for the platform, without needing to worry
about what that is.
This patch attempts three points, which, together, fix the acquisition:
1) Request data from ALSA without specifying endianness; ALSA will handle the
endianness.
2) Simplify the int16_t to float loop by using straightforward indexes.
3) Normalize every value before sending it on the session bus.
NOTE: If testing with PulseView, it will appear as if sigrok is sending all
zeroes. sigrok is sending correct data, but since the data is normalized,
PulseView will incorrectly plot it as a straight line.

The alsa driver only works with device "default". This limits the driver's
scope to whatever device ALSA deems to be "default". It is desirable to have
access to all ALSA devices from sigrok.
Change the alsa device scan so that:
Each alsa device (not alsa card) gets its own sigrok device
For example,
hw:1,0 == sigrok device 0
hw:1,1 == sigrok device 1
hw:2,0 == sigrok device 2
hw:2,1 == sigrok device 3
hw:2,2 == sigrok device 4
[...]
We don't currently look at alsa subdevices. We only use subdevice 0.
Every input device will have its own channels (left, right, etc). Each of
those channels gets mapped to a different sigrok probe. A device with 4
channels will have 4 probes from sigrok's perspective.

Unfortunately the device doesn't have an EEPROM on board at all, and so
initially enumerates with the default Cypress FX2 VID:PID (04b4:8613).
Since we already support using plain FX2* as basic logic analyzers using
the fx2lafw firmware, we cannot support that same VID:PID for the
OsciPrime. Therefore a USB conn is required for the initial scan.
However, once the firmware is uploaded the device re-enumerates as
04b4:1004, which we do detect for scanning automatically.
Thus, the OsciPrime driver requires one scan with conn parameter to get
the firmware uploaded, but it will then keep working until powered off.
This is the driver model agreed upon for all drivers.
As a result of the split, a devc->num_probes field had to be added in order to
reduce the interdependence between api.c and protocol.c .

The alsa driver was out of date wrt APIs and libsigrok conventions in
general, and wasn't compiling.
This fixes the compile and updates it to _basically_ work with the current
state of analog support in libsigrok.
This is not finished/full support for ALSA analog sampling yet, though,
various TODOs remain that will be addressed later.
Hardware scanning creates an ftdi_context before attempting to locate devices
based on PID/VID. If no devices are detected, execution jumps to cleanup. The
context is freed with free(), instead of ftdi_free().
We cannot assume that the libftdi context is stored in a contiguous memory
region, and thus cannot use a simple free. Case in point, this situation is
identified by valgrind as a "definitely lost" memory leak.
Use ftdi_free() instead of a simple free() in hw_scan(). Valgrind no longer
complains about a memory leak in this area.
clear_instances() does not need any modification, as it correctly uses
ftdi_free().

commit 378abfeac6 tried to solve a bug where
the fx2lafw driver would print "Device came back" even if a timeout had occured.
It solved that issue, but inadvertently introduced a new bug:
"Device came back" would be printed even if no firmware upload was performed.
This is counterintuitive, as the device is only reset when a firmware upload is
performed.
There are three cases:
i) Firmware upload was successful
ii) Firmware upload failed
iii) Firmware upload was NOT needed
Each case warrants a separate message from the driver. Print the
following messages depending on the outcome:
i) "Device came back"
ii) "Device failed to renumerate"
iii) "Firmware upload was not needed."

Wrappers for hw_init, hw_cleanup, clear_instances, and hw_scan are needed for
each subdriver due to the nature of serial-dmm. These wrappers are implemented
as macros, in order to reduce the number of lines of code.
For each of those functions, we have a separate wrapper list, then we connect
them together in a first-class driver using a DRV macro, and yet another list
(the DRV list).
Instead of declaring those wrappers in separate lists, include them in the DRV
macro. This approach reduces the number of macro lists from five to just one.
From the perspective of adding a new subdriver, this also greatly reduces the
number of places needed to hook in a new device.

2. It will try to probe serial ports which may already be opened in

In the case of USB drivers, a driver's dev_acquisition_stop() cannot
simply remove its fd sources from the session and close its devices:
a USB transfer might still be underway, and it needs to be finished
(and its memory freed) properly.
An sr_dev_inst->status value is added: SR_ST_STOPPING, which should
be set when the driver's dev_acquisition_stop() is called, and acts
as a marker for the USB event handler to wind up its operations.
In order for dev_acquisition_stop() to be able to set the sdi status,
however, it needs to be unconstified.

The default sample rate is the lowest frequency (100Hz),
but it takes a very long time until 128K memory is full.

- Fix trigger.
- Change the size of memory according to the number of samples.

Adapt the tekpower-dmm and uni-t-dmm code accordingly.
So far, it seems we can make this work with just hw_init() needing to
be subdriver-specific (it will point 'di' to the respective per-subdriver
entry), the rest of the API functions can then use a strcmp() on di->name to
learn which subdriver they belong to.
The 'uni-t-dmm' driver/directory will not appear as a "driver" to
frontends anymore, it's just an internal thing.
The frontends will see a uni-t-ut61d and voltcraft-vc820 driver now,
with the correct names and parsers etc. attached to them.
This is not fully finished yet, but it's a start (and works mostly):
$ sigrok-cli -D
The following devices were found:
UNI-T UT61D with 1 probe: P1
Voltcraft VC-820 with 1 probe: P1
$ sigrok-cli --driver voltcraft-vc820 -D
The following devices were found:
Voltcraft VC-820 with 1 probe: P1
$ sigrok-cli --driver uni-t-ut61d -D
The following devices were found:
UNI-T UT61D with 1 probe: P1
# Now attaching a UNI-T UT61D device via USB.
$ sigrok-cli --driver uni-t-ut61d --samples 3 -O analog

P1: -0.017600 V DC
P1: -0.017700 V DC
# Now attaching a Voltcraft VC-820 device via USB instead.

P1: -0.319200 V DC
P1: -0.319300 V DC
P1: -0.319300 V DC
The Fortune Semiconductor FS9721_LP3 and FS9721B/Q100 DMM chips are very
similar and the protocol looks identical.

(needs some small changes, tbd).
LOGIC mode sends the following data:
V < 0 : actual voltage

1 <= V < 2 : actual voltage
2 <= V : HIGH

1. Print an info message when a port is probed, and when a device is
found. This makes it easy to tell if and where the driver is looking.
2. num_samples was not reset after the first aquisition, so the
second aquisition would quit right away. Reset num_samples at start
of a new aquisition.

Only tested on U1233A, but it just might work.
The U125x protocol decoding only supports voltage, current, resistance,
capacitance and diode measurements for now.
These are used to list the device instances currently known to the driver,
and clear that list.
Drivers that don't necessarily clear their list of instances on every scan,
such as genericdmm, need to provide these to the frontend to keep instance
management sane.
Since probes now live in a struct sr_dev_inst owned by the driver, it
already knows about them. Instead of a frontend telling the driver to
configure probes, all driver now do this just before starting acquisition.
It's obsolete: no frontend ever used it, and neither did libsigrok.
The sdi->status field is only used internally by some drivers, and
should probably be moved to the driver-specific context structs.
This changes the semantics of the init() call as well. That now only
initializes the driver -- an administrative affair, no hardware gets
touched during this call. It returns a standard SR_OK or SR_ERR* code.
The scan() call does a discovery run for devices it knows, and returns
the number found. It can be called at any time.
It was actually used in one way: the session file loaded abused it for
passing in the filename -- something it definitely wasn't intended for.
This now uses the proper way to pass arguments to a driver: the new
SR_HWCAP_SESSIONFILE.
The OLS driver could also use it as an indication of the serial port to
use instead of actively probing all serial ports on the system, but there
wasn't any frontend code that passed in such a parameter, making it
entirely useless. That will soon be handled differently with the new
scan() API call, regardless.
Both pipe channels are currently configured as blocking. We read from the pipe
in receive_data. Since the channel is configured as blocking we'll block in
receive_data until all data has been received. receive_data will be called from
the mainloop, so as consequence the mainloop will be blocked until the demo
device has finished sampling. This is not so much of a problem if we are
sampling in blocking mode (using sr_session_run()) and the demo device is the
only device in the session, but it will fail badly for all other configurations
(e.g. multiple devices or async sampling).

The recent reworks of the fx2lafw made sure that the total buffer size is large
enough hold 500ms of data. This was done to improve performance and stability.
That the timeout value for a transfer was also increased to over 500ms, a side
effect of this is that when sampling is stopped there will be a additional delay
of 500ms. This is because the driver waits for all transfers to be freed
before it sends a SR_DF_END packet. Once sampling has stopped this will only
happen once a transfer times out. This patch cancels all pending transfers when
sampling is stopped, this will cause them to be freed almost immediately and the
additional delay will disappear.
Also make sure, that if we know, that we just have received the last transfer to
not resubmit this transfer again.
Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de>
Currently timeout and buffer size are hard-coded in the fx2lafw driver which is
non-optimal if we want to get good results at both high and low sample rates.
The timeout is hard-coded to 40ms, which doesn't work well when sampling at
a low sample rate. E.g. at 20kHz filling all available buffer space alone takes
6 seconds. So naturally we'll see a lot of transfers timeout in this case.
The buffer size is hard-coded to 4096 bytes, which does not work well with high
sample rates. E.g. at 24MHz these 4096 bytes are enough space for 0.17ms of
data. The total buffer size is enough for about 5ms of data. Sooner or later the
application won't be able to resubmit a transfer within this time span and the
device will abort data acquisition. Usually this happens within the first few
seconds of sampling.
This patch adds a few new helper functions which calculate the buffer size and
timeout based on the current sample rate.
The buffer size is chosen to be large enough to hold about 10ms of data and it
also must be a multiple of 512 bytes since the firmware will send us the data
in 512 byte chunks.
The timeout is set to the time it would take to fill the whole available buffer
space plus a 25% headroom to accommodate for jitter. This is more than enough,
but there is no need to make the timeout a tight deadline, since it is only
meant as a last resort in case the device stops submitting data. And in this
case data acquisition will be aborted anyway.
The patch also limits the the number of transfers so that the total buffer
space is not much more of 500ms. This will ensure that we do not have to
wait too long when aborting data acquisition.
This patch also significantly reduces the number of context switches when
sampling at a higher sample rate. On my system for example the CPU load of
sigrok-cli when sampling at 24MHz goes down from ~25% to 3-4%.

While errors are usually already implicitly caught by looking at the packet
length field there is one error status which is worth special handling. If the
device has been removed there is not really a chance to recover from this error
so data acquisition can be stopped immediately.

In receive_transfer for each completed transfer a new buffer is allocated and
the old one is freed. We can avoid this by simply reusing the buffer for the
next transfer. This is possible if we only resubmit the transfer after all
processing on the data buffer has been done. A new buffer is only allocated if
the size of the old one is not 4096 bytes.

When freeing a transfer we also have to free the transfer buffer. We also have
to keep track of the number of allocated transfers and if the freed transfer was
the last one stop acquisition. This patch introduces a helper function which
takes care of all of this.

The header and packet struct are only used in the scope of this function and
they are freed at the end of it. Also these structs are rather small, so they
can safely be allocated on the stack. By doing so memory leaks on the error
paths are avoided.
