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 | |
d5f5ea73 UH |
10 | the Cypress EZ-USB FX2(LP) chip. |
11 | ||
c7e02d8c | 12 | It is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL (version 2 or later), and uses |
94ca1bed UH |
13 | additional helper code (fx2lib), licensed under the GNU LGPL (version 2.1 |
14 | or later). | |

24 | Requirements |
25 | ------------ | |
26 | ||
c7e02d8c UH |
27 | - In order to build fx2lafw you need the 'sdcc' compiler. |
28 | On Debian you can install it via: | |
d5f5ea73 | 29 | |
c7e02d8c | 30 | $ apt-get install sdcc |
d5f5ea73 | 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. | |
