Extend and rephrase the VCD output module, to support mixed signal data,
support higher channel counts, and address other minor issues.
Increase the number of VCD identifiers which can get generated. Bump the
limit from 94 to 18346 channels. Prefer single letter names for backwards
compatibility for the first channels. Use two or three letter identifiers
as needed for higher channel counts.
Add support for analog channels, and carefully organize a queue such
that timestamps and their data only get written after input data for
_all_ channels was received from the session feed. Provide IEEE754
double precision values for maximum compatibility with other VCD aware
software, although sigrok internally passes analog data with single
precision. This makes potential later adjustment transparent to external
software.
Factor out and rephrase code while we are here. This implementation
avoids glib calls where they'd hurt performance. A local pool reduces
malloc() pressure to increase throughput. String manipulation is tuned
for simplicity and reduced cost. Special code paths were added to tune
the use cases where mixed signals are not involved (immediate write to
the output text, bypassing the output module's local queue).
An srzip input implementation detail still makes the VCD output consume
lots of memory during merge sort of channels' data. See bug #1566.
Other nits got addressed in bypassing: Adjust data types. Separate the
gathering of detail information and the construction of the VCD header
text to simplify review and future maintenance. Skip VCD identifiers for
disabled channels. Emit a final timestamp to flush the last sample, and
communicate the total capture length.
Update comments. Update the copyright for recent non-trivial changes.
Extend and rework the VCD input module: accept more data types, improve
usability, fix known issues.
Add support for bit vectors (arbitrary width), multi-bit integer values
(absolute 64bit width limit, internal limitation to single precision),
and floating point numbers ('real' in VCD, single precision in sigrok).
Unfortunately sigrok neither has concepts of multi-bit logic channels
nor IEEE-1364 stdlogic values, the input module maps input data to
strict boolean and multiple logic channels. A vector's channels are
named and grouped to reflect their relation. VCD 'integer' types are
mapped to sigrok analog channels. Add support for scoped signal names,
and the re-use of one VCD signal name for multiple variables.
Rework file and text handling. Only skip pointless UTF-8 BOMs before
file content (not between sections). Handle lack of line termination at
the end of the input file. Process individual lines of input chunks,
avoid glib calls when they'd result in malloc pressure, and severely
degrade performance. Avoid expensive string operations in hot loops.
Rearrange the order of parse steps, to simplify maintenance and review:
end of section, new section, timestamp, data values, unsupported. Flush
previously queued values in the absence of a final timestamp. Unbreak
$comment sections in the data part. Apply stricter checks to input data,
and propagate errors. Avoid silent operation (weak warnings can go
unnoticed) which yields results that are unexpected to users. Unbreak
the combination of 'downsample' with 'skip' and 'compress'. Reduce noise
when users limit the number of channels while the input file contains
more data (keep a list of consciously ignored channels). Do warn or
error out for serious and unexpected conditions.
Address minor issues. Use common support for datafeed submission. Keep
user specified options across file re-load. Fixup data type nits, move
complex code blocks into separate routines. Sort the groups of routines,
put helpers first and concentrate public routines at the bottom. Extend
the builtin help text. Update comments, update the copyright for the
non-trivial changes.
Fixes bug #776 by adding support for bit vectors.
Fixes bug #1476 by flushing most recently received sample data.
Input modules often find themselves in the situation where sample data
was received and could be sent to the session bus, but submission should
get deferred to reduce the number of send calls and provide larger data
chunks in these calls. Introduce common support code for buffered sample
data submission (both logic and analog), provide a simple alloc, submit,
flush, and free API.
The input/binary module chops raw input data into chunks and sends these
to the session feed. The total size of input chunks got aligned to the
unit size, the session feed output didn't. Make sure to align session
packets with the input data's unit size, too.
This fixes bug #1582.
This version is known to work with the current code-base and recent
SWIG versions, whereas e.g. Ruby 2.3.x is known to not work (anymore).
This "fixes" the remaining parts of bug #1526.
When using a number of frames that is not 1, the driver will read
samples up to its limit and then wait for another trigger. This will be
repeated until the configured number of frames has been finished.
This seems to make the Rigol DS1054Z work. It's still a bit janky --
on a live capture, sample 688 (zero-based) out of the 1200-sample
frame seems to consistently contain garbage. I'm not sure what's
going on.
The Rigol DS1054Z sometimes returns zero bytes in response to a bulk in
request. sigrok ends up reading out of bounds and failing ungracefully
when this happens. Check that libusb returned a full USBTMC header and
fail gracefully if it did not.
According to the programming manual, one should issue
:WAV:RES
:WAV:BEG
before reading data from internal memory. Without this, the wrong data
will be returned.
I want to fix this double-close issue I see with my OLS:
First close at the end of a 'scan':
sr: [00:00.045171] openbench-logic-sniffer: Got metadata key 0x00, metadata ends.
sr: [00:00.045178] openbench-logic-sniffer: Disabling demux mode.
sr: [00:00.045186] serial: Closing serial port /dev/ttyACM0.
Second one as part of hwdriver cleanup:
sr: [00:00.046088] hwdriver: Cleaning up all drivers.
sr: [00:00.046108] serial: Closing serial port /dev/ttyACM0.
sr: [00:00.046116] serial-libsp: Cannot close unopened serial port /dev/ttyACM0.
So, before closing a second time, check if the device is not idle.
I am optimistic this could fix bugs #1151 and #1275, too.

bindings/swig/doc.py generates a swig interface file for ruby bindings
that includes docstrings with comments braces ( /* and */ ) like this:
%feature("docstring") sigrok::Channel::type "/* Type of this channel. */\n";
%feature("docstring") sigrok::Channel::enabled "/* Enabled status of this channel. */\n";
SWIG generates *.cxx and adds its own braces to the docstring:
/*/* Document-class: Sigrok::Error
Exception thrown when an error code is returned by any libsigrok call. */
*/
this causes compilation error for Ruby bindings.
To fix the error we should not add extra braces to the docstring.
With this patch libsigrok compiles fine with with ruby 2.7 and swig 4.0.2.

This changeset adds support for the RDTech TC66C USB power meter.
Currently, the driver reports the following channels:
* V: VBus voltage
* I: VBus current
* D+: D+ voltage
* D-: D- voltage
* E: Energy consumed in threshold-based recording mode.
The number of significant digits shown for each channel has been set
to match the number of digits shown on the device.
Usage example:
sigrok-cli -d rdtech-tc:conn=/dev/ttyACM0 --scan
Known issues:
* BLE support is currently unimplemented. This uses a different
command set, but the same poll data format.
Kudos to Ben V. Brown for reverse engineering some of the protocol and
documenting the encryption key used for poll data.

This changeset adds support for the RDTech UMxx series of USB power
meters. The driver has been tested with the RDTech UM24C, but should
support the UM24C, UM25C, and the UM34C.
Currently, the driver reports the following channels:
* V: VBus voltage
* I: VBus current
* D+: D+ voltage
* D-: D- voltage
* T: Device temperature
* E: Energy consumed in threshold-based recording mode.
The number of significant digits shown for each channel has been set
to match the number of digits shown on a UM24C.
Missing features:
* There is currently no support for configuring threshold-based
recording from sigrok, but this can be done on the device itself.
* Fast charging mode currently not logged.
Usage example:
sigrok-cli -d rdtech-um:conn=bt/rfcomm/MAC --scan
sigrok-cli -d rdtech-um:conn=/dev/rfcomm0 --scan
Known issues:
* When using sigrok's Bluetooth transport implementation, the device
is disconnected between probing and sampling. Some devices (e.g.,
the UM24C), dislikes this and can't be reconnected reliably for
sampling. This is not an issue when setting up a rfcomm device
manually and using it as a serial port.
Kudos to Sven Slootweg for documenting most of the protocol.

Many devices receive a struct with binary values when polled. Many of
these values will correspond channels in sigrok. This
change introduces helper functions for automatically reading and
scaling such values and sending them down a sigrok analog channel.

The meter allows remote controlled start of recordings, but requires a
few parameters where it's uncertain how to most appropriately get these
by means of SR_CONF_* keys.
Introduce SR_CONF_SET support for SR_CONF_DATALOG to raise awareness,
but leave the implementation empty for now. Leave a TODO comment which
discusses the meter's commands that one might want to use from here.
Extend the previously introduced skeleton driver for UNI-T UT181A. Introduce
support for the full multimeter's protocol as it was documented by the ut181a
project. Which covers the retrieval of live readings, saved measurements, and
recordings, in all of the meter's modes and including relative, min/max, and
peak submodes. This implementation also parses compare mode (limits check)
responses, although it cannot express the result in terms of the session feed.
Announce the device as a multimeter as well as a thermometer, it supports
up to two probes including difference mode. When in doubt, prefer usability
over feature coverage (the driver side reflects all properties of the meter,
but not all features can get controlled by the driver). The probe routine
requires that users specify the serial port, and enable serial communication
on the meter.
Several TODO items remain. Comments in the driver code discuss limitations
of the current implementation, as well as cases where the meter's features
don't map well to sigrok's internal presentation. This implementation also
contains (optional, off by default) diagnostics for research on the serial
protocol.
When data patterns for trigger specs span multiple bits, users may not
want to specify long lists of "<ch>=<lvl>" conditions for sigrok-cli's
--trigger option, and count channels by hand. Or click a dozen dialogs
to specify one data pattern, or modify a previous specification. Setups
with few traces may accept that, "data heavy" setups like parallel data
or address bus inspection may not.
Add comments which discuss the potential use of SR_CONF_TRIGGER_PATTERN.
Outline a syntax which may be flexible enough _and_ acceptable to users,
support data patterns and edge triggers alike, in several presentations
that serve different use cases. This commit exclusively adds comments,
does not change behaviour.
Update a comment in the user spec to internal format trigger spec parser
to expand on hardware constraints and implementation limitations. Rename
an identifier which checks the number of edge conditions, not the number
of accepted trigger spec details.
Trigger support became operational again. Drop the compile time switch
which disabled the previously incomplete implementation.
This resolves bug #359.
Parse trigger specs early when acquisition starts, timeout calculation
needs to reflect on it. Either immediately start an acquisition timeout
for trigger-less configurations. Or prepare a timeout which spans the
post-trigger period, but only start its active period when the trigger
match was detected by the device's hardware.
Extend mode tracking during acquisition to handle other special cases.
Terminate acquisition when the user specified sample count limit exceeds
the hardware capacity, or when no limits were specified and the device's
memory is exhausted.
There is a slight inaccuracy in this approach, but the implementation
fails on the safe side. When both user specified limits and triggers are
involved, then at least the user specified time or sample count span is
provided. Usually more data is sent to the session feed, and all of the
requested period is covered. This is because of the software poll period
and the potential to start the timeout slightly late. As well as having
added some slack for hardware pipelines in the timeout calculation.
The previous implementation ran the complete sample memory retrieval
in a single call to the receive callback. Which in combination with
slow USB communication and deep memory could block application logic
for rather long periods of time.
Rephrase the download_capture() routine such that it can spread its
workload across multiple invocations. Run the acquisition stop and
resource allocation for the download, the interpretation of a set of
DRAM lines, and the resource cleanup, as needed. And keep calling the
download routine until completion of the interpretation of the sample
memory region of interest. The workload size per invocation may need
more adjustment.
The previous implementation could stall UI progress for some 20-30s.
This change lets users perceive UI progress while sample memory gets
retrieved and interpreted.
This resolves bug #1005.
Recent commits added "position tracking" for interesting spots in the
sample stream and the current iteration pointer. Which obsoletes the
counters for remaining items until trigger, the "triggered here" flags,
as well as the unfortunate "rewind a little" workaround which lacked a
comment on its motivation or implementation details.
The hardware provided trigger match location is inaccurate. Do check
sample values against the initial trigger condition spec for a short
range of the retrieved sample data, to refine the trigger marker's
position which is sent to the session feed.
Temporarily ignore the optional sample count limit for trigger-using
acquisitions, to reduce the diff size and simplify review. Since the
hardware transparently compresses sample data, we cannot reliably
determine where to start the download and interpretation of sample data,
and the submission to the session feed. Starting early in the sample
memory content, and sticking with the strict sample count limit, could
clip submission before the actual trigger position.
This implementation provides _at least_ the requested amount of data,
and does cover the spot of interest (the trigger position). This, and
the trigger support's having become operational again, is considered an
important improvement. The inaccuracy is considered acceptable for now.
Trigger-less acquisition does enforce the exact sample count limit.
Rephrase how the sample memory iteration position gets tracked, increment
after every event slot already. Update the "last seen sample" status more
often (an event slot can hold several sample items). Arrange for a period
of time where software will check sample data for trigger matches. This
improves the precision of the hardware provided trigger match location.
Do send hardware provided trigger locations to the session feed even if
the software check found no match on the data content. This covers user
initiated button presses (which can unblock the acquisition when the
application provided trigger condition never matches).
Note that this implementation does manage the window of supervision, but
does not yet check the sample values against the trigger condition. This
gets added later.
