5The sigrok project aims at creating a portable, cross-platform,
6Free/Libre/Open-Source signal analysis software suite that supports various
7device types (such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, multimeters, and more).
8
9sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw is a Free/Libre/Open-source firmware for logic
10analyzers based on the Cypress EZ-USB FX2(LP) chip, as well as the
11Hantek 6022BE USB oscilloscope.

14Status
15------
16
17sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw is in a usable state and has had official
18tarball releases.

21Requirements
22------------
23
24 - git
25 - make
26 - autoconf >= 2.63
27 - automake >= 1.11
28 - sdcc (>= 2.9.0)
29
30Notes:
31
32 - In order to build fx2lafw you need the 'sdcc' compiler (>= 2.9.0).
33 On Debian you can install it via:
34
35 $ apt-get install sdcc
36
37 This project has been tested to work with sdcc 2.9 and 3.x.
38
39 - You need libsigrok >= 0.1.1 in order to make use of fx2lafw. Earlier
40 versions didn't have support for FX2 devices using this firmware.

43Building and installing
44-----------------------
45
46In order to get the sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw source code and build it, run:
47
48 $ git clone git://sigrok.org/sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw
49 $ cd sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw
50 $ ./autogen.sh
51 $ ./configure
52 $ make
53
54For installing sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw:
55
56 $ make install
57
58The generated *.fw files are installed into /usr/local/share/sigrok-firmware.
59
60You can override the install location like this:
61
62 $ ./configure --prefix=/usr
63
64See INSTALL or the following wiki page for more (OS-specific) instructions:

69Pre-built firmware files
70------------------------
71
72There are also pre-built firmware files that can be used without having
73to build them from source. You can download those from:
74
75 http://sigrok.org/download/binary/sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw/
76
77
78fx2lib
79------
80
81The fx2lafw code uses a (slightly modified) "fx2lib" helper library.
82
83It was imported into fx2lafw from
84
85 git://github.com/ubixum/fx2lib.git
86
87as of Feb 12, 2012 (git hash "416c104cbd").

89The following files/directories were removed, as they're not needed
90for our purposes: CHANGELOG, COPYING*, docs/, examples/, fw/, and utils/.

93Hantek 6022BE firmware
94----------------------
95
96The Hantek 6022BE firmware was originally created by Jochen Hoenicke in
9705/2015 for the Hantek6022API github project by Robert Cope. Full credit
98for the implementation of the firmware goes to Jochen Hoenicke, thanks!
99
100Github project:
101
102 https://github.com/rpcope1/Hantek6022API
103
104We've incorporated the Hantek 6022BE firmware into the sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw
105repo/tarball for convenience of sigrok users. E.g. so that they can
106easily get it with the other fx2lafw firmware files from distro
107packages, the build scripts in sigrok-util automatically build/install
108it, the sigrok Windows installers automatically ship it, the sigrok
109Android APKs automatically ship it, etc. etc.
110
111The files we've integrated into fx2lafw from Hantek6022API were taken from
112the PyHT6022/HantekFirmware/custom directory of that repo, using the state
113as of 03/2016 (the files were last modified in 05/2015, though).
114
115The git hash of the last relevant commit there was:
116
117 0498e2ab239aabb1084c19e1e24faf56764b217e
118
119Files integrated into fx2lafw:
120
121 - hw/hantek-6022be/dscr.a51: Copied unmodified.
122
123 - hantek_6022be.c: This file was originally created by appending the
124 contents of the original device.c and fw.c together.
