5 | The sigrok project aims at creating a portable, cross-platform, | |
6 | Free/Libre/Open-Source signal analysis software suite that supports various | |
7 | device types (such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, multimeters, and more). | |
8 | ||
9 | fx2lafw is a Free/Libre/Open-source firmware for logic analyzers based on | |
10 | the Cypress EZ-USB FX2(LP) chip. | |
11 | ||
12 | It is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL (version 2 or later), and uses | |
13 | additional helper code (fx2lib), licensed under the GNU LGPL (version 2.1 | |
14 | or later). | |
15 | ||

17 | Status | |
18 | ------ | |
19 | ||
20 | sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw is in a usable state and has had official | |
21 | tarball releases. | |
22 | ||
23 | ||
24 | Requirements | |
25 | ------------ | |
26 | ||
27 | - In order to build fx2lafw you need the 'sdcc' compiler. | |
28 | On Debian you can install it via: | |
29 | ||
30 | $ apt-get install sdcc | |
31 | ||
32 | - You need libsigrok >= 0.1.1 in order to make use of fx2lafw. Earlier | |
33 | versions didn't have support for FX2 devices using this firmware. | |
34 | ||
35 | ||
36 | Building and installing | |
37 | ----------------------- | |
38 | ||
39 | In order to get the sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw source code and build it, run: | |
40 | ||
41 | $ git clone git://sigrok.org/sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw | |
42 | $ cd sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw | |
43 | $ make | |
44 | ||
45 | For installing sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw: | |
46 | ||
47 | $ make install | |
48 | ||
49 | The generated *.fw files are installed into /usr/local/share/sigrok-firmware. | |
50 | ||
51 | You can override the install location like this: | |
52 | ||
53 | $ make install DESTDIR=/usr/share/sigrok-firmware | |
54 | ||

63 | fx2lib | |
64 | ------ | |
65 | ||
66 | The fx2lafw code uses a (slightly modified) "fx2lib" helper library. | |
67 | ||
68 | It was imported into fx2lafw from | |
69 | ||
70 | git://github.com/ubixum/fx2lib.git | |
71 | ||
72 | as of Feb 12, 2012 (git hash "416c104cbd"). | |
73 | ||
74 | The following files/directories were removed, as they're not needed | |
75 | for our purposes: CHANGELOG, COPYING*, docs/, examples/, fw/, and utils/. | |
