Also, consistently use 'ch' for channel variables. This matches how we
consistently use sdi, devc, and so on all over the code-base.
This fixes parts of bug #259.
The name 'probe' (and thus 'probe group') is a relic from the times when
sigrok was mostly about logic analyzers. Nowadays we support a lot more
device types where 'probe' is not really a good term and 'channel' is
much better suited.
This fixes parts of bug #259.
Instead of >= 44 Makefile.am's we now only have one top-level
Makefile.am, and use the 'subdir-objects' automake option to
handle the build via non-recursive (auto)make.
This has the advantage of fewer (boilerplate or other) files and less
clutter in general, as well as performance advantages since the new
setup can build many files in parallel (with 'make -j'), not only 2 or 3
files within the same (e.g. hardware/xxxx/* subdirectory) and also since
we no longer need to build intermediate libtool helper libs per subdirectory.
A quick, non-scientific test build on a quad-core laptop with 'make -j 4'
yields a build time reduction from 35s to 19s.
All autotools features that worked before are still intact without any
regressions, including the Make targets 'install', 'uninstall', 'check',
'dist', 'clean', 'distclean' and so on, as well as all the usual portability
handling (build works on any OS, with any Make implementation such as
GNU Make or BSD Make, with any shell such as sh/ksh/zsh/bash/dash, etc. etc.)
and features such as out-of-tree build support, cross-compile support,
testsuite support (also with colored output), "silent make rules", etc. etc.
The maximum sample size that can be set on a device is now published
by sr_config_list(SR_CONF_LIMIT_SAMPLES). This returns a tuple of
uint64_t representing minimum and maximum number of samples.
The sample buffer is a still a bit of a mystery, but this should help.
The variables in play:
triggerbar/ramsize_trigger - These two variables added together indicate
how many samples we want captured. ramsize_trigger - triggerbar
indicades how many samples must be captured. The ratio between the two
is determined by capture ratio.
memory_size - This indicates the number of samples in the circular
capture buffer. stop_address, now_address, and trigger_address are
pointers within the zeroplus that wrap based on this size.
now_address - The address that the zeroplus was about to write to when
it finished capturing, and now the address that will be read from when
reads are done from the capture buffer
stop_address - The address that the zeroplus last wrote to when it
completed capture.
trigger_address - The sample address for which the trigger occured.
status - This one is a bit tricky. Some testing has shown that if the
zeroplus has captured memory_size or less samples, the STATUS_READY bit
is set. For all captures generated with more samples than this,
STATUS_READY was cleared. However, boundary conditions are difficult to
test and values such as, memory_size + 1 have not been tested. We use
this to determine if the capture has wrapped through the sample buffer.
More testing is required, but this improves behavior in a number of
cases, specifically capturing sample amounts that are not a power of 2
of the sample buffer size. Before, random data was passed to libsigrok.

Experimentation with the windows driver has found no situation where
this is set to anything other than 1. The zerominus software also never
sets this to anything other than one. Revert the code change made in
0ab0cb942f.

If there is no trigger, don't try to capture anything before it. There
won't be any because we trigger immediately.

This will need some additional work when support is added for compression
modes since group D is disabled for RLE compression and C and D are
disabled for "double" compression.

This reworks the triggerbar/trigger address logic to match the values sent
by the windows app for all models (The zerominus tool was used to reprogram
the USB device ID on a single device). Additionally, the DONT_CARE_TRIGGERBAR
register is always set by the windows app and does not seem to indicate that
these registers are "don't care"'s.
While captures using a trigger do set the STATUS_READY bit, immediate
captures do not set the STATUS_READY bit, they just clear the STATUS_BUSY
bit. This was confirmed with packet captures using the "official" driver/app.
The per-driver API calls no longer have a hw_ prefix (e.g. hw_init()
became init() and so on), so drop the 'hw_' from the std versions
for those API callbacks too.
This invalidates previously returned sr_dev_inst pointers, which a
frontend may be holding. It's the frontend's responsibility to clear
the list of instances a driver keeps track of by calling
sr_dev_clear(driver);
if it wants a completely new scan done.
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.
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.
