The demo driver was using sr_session_source_add_channel() to add
a poll source, but was relying on sr_session_run_poll() to call
sr_session_source_remove(). This, coupled with the design of the
driver caused errors once the samples were collected.
The error stream was most likely related to failing to properly close
one of the channels.

This is the first step in fixing the demo driver: figuring out what is
being called and what is not _and_ have it show up in the logs.

Options in addition to the usual "9600/8n1" syntax start with a
slash, and take the form of key=value, where different options are
also separated by slashes. For example:
"9600/8n1/rts=0/dtr=1"
This sets RTS low and DTR high.
The packet mode byte is akin to a signature. If that is invalid, there's
no point in calculating the checksum, so check the mode first.

Serial detection was using serial_readline, which stripped carriage
return from the packets. This made for a very unreliable detection
mechanism.
Switch to a timeout-based detection mechanism that parses the data
as it comes in. This also allows us to stop parsing once we found
our first valid packet.

ols driver used to probe a series of available serial ports obtained
by regexp matching of common serial port names.
There are a number of problems with this approach:
1. It will probe all serial devices, including devices that do not
like to be probed, potentially causing them to act up.
2. It will try to probe serial ports which may already be opened in
other applications for other purposes.
3. It assumes the naming of the serial ports is set in stone, and
creates an unnecessary OS-specific list.
4. It produces unnecessary debug output even when an OLS device is
not connected.
5. etc...
Do not implicitly probe serial ports. Only probe the port specified
by the frontend, if any; otherwise, just quit.
Also get rid of all functionality in serial.c which was designed
specifically for random probing.

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.
- Default to 1MHz.
The default sample rate is the lowest frequency (100Hz),
but it takes a very long time until 128K memory is full.
- Fix the 1MHz setting.
- Use samplerate list.
- Fix 10MHz frequency.
- Fix trigger.
- Change the size of memory according to the number of samples.
- Add pre-trigger (capture ratio) setting.
- Fix the first acquisition after power on.
Move sr_usb_connect() and sr_usb_open() to hardware/common/usb.c in a
slightly more generic form and add more error checks and logging.
Let genericdmm use the new/moved functions.
Merge parts of the tekpower-dmm code (the chip of the TekPower
TP4000ZC seems to be an FS9721_LP3 too) and rework parts of the functions.
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: -0.017800 V DC
P1: -0.017600 V DC
P1: -0.017700 V DC
# Now attaching a Voltcraft VC-820 device via USB instead.
$ sigrok-cli --driver voltcraft-vc820 --samples 3 -O analog
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.
Tested on a Voltcraft VC-820 (FS9721_LP3) with the uni-t-dmm driver
(needs some small changes, tbd).
LOGIC mode sends the following data:
V < 0 : actual voltage
0 <= V < 1 : LOW
1 <= V < 2 : actual voltage
2 <= V : HIGH
We follow the same idea, and set our unit to BOOLEAN for the crazy
case (HIGH or LOW).

While testing the new radioshack-dmm driver with pulseview, I found
a few inconvenients.
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.
3. There's no need to open the serial port RW, so change O_RDWR to
O_RDONLY when opening the port.
These changes are too trivial to split into different patches.

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 session and demo device code contain a hack to make the demo device work on
Windows. This was neccessary since polling on windows requires special handling
and we can not just pass in the raw fd to poll.
With the previous patches which added support for non-fd based event sources
this hack is no longer required. The patch moves the GIOChannels used by the
demo device to the demo device context and uses sr_session_source_add_channel
to register a source for the channels instead of using the raw pipe fds.

All frontends will have to include <libsigrok/libsigrok.h> from now on.
This header includes proto.h and version.h, both installed from the
distribution into $INCLUDE/libsigrok/ as well.
The only dynamically changed header is now version.h, which has both
libsigrok and libtool compile-time versions in it.
Only one limit should be active at a time. Make sure that the sample limit is
disabled when a time limit is set and vice versa.

This may happen if the acquisition_start is called right after calling
acquisition_stop and not all transfers have been freed or on repeated calls to
acquisition_start. If it happens we'll enter an undefined state and all kind of
strange behavior may occur, so error out in such a case.

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.

The header and packet struct are only used in the scope of this function and

Samples received before the trigger point are stored. From the
trigger point on, every chunk received from the device is sent
up the session bus. After the device has finished sending, the
stored samples are transmitted.
Commit 88b75eb719 ("fx2lafw: Added device caps and added support for wide
sampling") increased the size of the trigger buffer from 8 to 16 bit, but forgot
to adjust the unitsize logic packet which is used to send the contents of the

Multistage triggers currently do no work, because there is a return statement
in the middle of the trigger detector which will be hit as soon as the first
stage in a multistage trigger matches. This patch removes the return statement
so that the trigger detector can continue to try to match the next stage. In
order for this to work we also make sure that the trigger stage is only reset
if the current sample does not match.

There are a few memory leaks in the receive_transfer transfer function. The most
serve of them is that a sample buffer is not freed if the triggered has not
matched yet, which causes a sigrok process which is waiting for a trigger to
consume several megabytes of memory within seconds. The other leaks are on the
error paths in that function.
