Hi I am running into an issue with both of my arch machines:

im trying to install pulseview (+ libsigrok, sigrok-cli, libsigrokdecode, sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw) via pacman.

The installation went well, but both pulsview and sigrok-cli are not detecting any firmware. The firmware files got located to:

[haertelgu@strawberry share]$ sudo ls /usr/share/sigrok-firmware -l
total 104
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  8120 Dec  2  2019 fx2lafw-braintechnology-usb-lps.fw
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  8120 Dec  2  2019 fx2lafw-cwav-usbeeax.fw
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  8120 Dec  2  2019 fx2lafw-cwav-usbeedx.fw

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16312 Dec  2  2019 fx2lafw-yixingdianzi-mdso.fw



sigrok-cli says there are no installed hardware drives:

[haertelgu@strawberry share]$ sigrok-cli -L
Supported hardware drivers:

Supported input formats:
  binary               Raw binary logic data
  chronovu-la8         ChronoVu LA8/LA16 native file format data
  csv                  Comma-separated values
  logicport            Int
  ...



Invoking the driver directly also doesn't work:

[haertelgu@strawberry share]$  sigrok-cli --driver fx2lafw --samples 100
Driver fx2lafw not found.

I think you are confusing firmware and hardware;

as for the "sigrok-cli -L" showing no hardware drivers, this is probably a duplicate of
https://sigrok.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1433

It's a known issue and is being worked on. No ETA. Possible to work around the issue at the packaging level, see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/78381
