libsigrokdecode

As in previous years various sigrok developers will be at the Chaos Communication Congress (32C3) in Hamburg, Germany. The conference takes place December 27th to 30th, 2015. There will be a sigrok assembly (on all 4 days) with a few tables and ... [More] chairs to allow for sigrok hacking and development planning, various demos and Q&A for visitors, and so on. Apart from sigrok hacking the conference also features the usual set of awesome talks related to security, hardware hacking, and lots of other interesting topics that you shouldn't miss. If you're interested in sigrok as user or developer, please drop by and say hello. Bring your gear (if possible) for reverse engineering and driver writing purposes. Chat with us, give us your suggestions which features you'd like to see, which devices you want to be supported, which protocol decoders you'd like to have, or even help us write some drivers/decoders!   [Less]

We're happy to announce the sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw 0.1.3 release. This is an open-source firmware that allows you to use any of the popular Cypress FX2 based devices as logic analyzers. The source code and pre-built firmware files are available from ... [More] the usual place: sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw-0.1.3.tar.gz sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw-bin-0.1.3.tar.gz This release doesn't contain any functionality changes in the firmware per se. There have been some minor documentation updates, and some not-so-minor build system improvements (thanks to Daniel Elstner!), though. The NEWS file contains some more details. The most important change is probably the addition of two new firmware files for FX2-based devices which have the new "official" sigrok/fx2lafw USB VID/PID pairs in their I²C EEPROM: 1D50:608C: fx2lafw-sigrok-fx2-8ch.fw 1D50:608D: fx2lafw-sigrok-fx2-16ch.fw These two VID/PID pairs are available for devices that use a Cypress FX2(LP) chip directly as 8-channel or 16-channel logic analyzer, and use the respective USB-based protocol. They are not meant for other devices which just happen to also have an FX2 (e.g. in addition to an FPGA) and/or devices that use a different USB-based protocol. The USB VID/PIDs are allocated for sigrok/fx2lafw via the awesome "Open registry for community / homebrew USB Product IDs" service of the Openmoko project. The new firmware files require the soon-to-be-released libsigrok >= 0.4.0 (or current git HEAD). The Windows sigrok-cli installer and PulseView installer (nightly builds) we provide already include these firmware files and a libsigrok version that is new enough.   [Less]

libsigrok now supports the Velleman DVM4100 multimeter, a 6000 counts DMM with USB connectivity. This DMM uses the Dream Tech International DTM0660 chip, which has a similar protocol as the Fortune Semiconductor FS9721_LP3 and can even be put into a ... [More] mode that exactly matches the FS9721 protocol apparently (which also means it might be used in a lot more DMMs than we currently know of). The DTM0660 protocol parser was contributed by Matthieu Gaillet, thanks a lot! In addition to the Velleman DVM4100 this parser is also used in the PeakTech 3415 DMM, so it's very likely that this device is now also supported. Since that's untested though, we'd be happy to hear from users that actually own the PeakTech 3415!   [Less]
