5 fx2lafw is a free/libre/open-source firmware for logic analyzers based on
6 the Cypress EZ-USB FX2(LP) chip.
8 It is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL (version 2 or later), and uses
9 additional helper code (fx2lib), licensed under the GNU LGPL (version 2.1
16 - In order to build fx2lafw you need the 'sdcc' compiler.
17 On Debian you can install it via:
19 $ apt-get install sdcc
21 - You need libsigrok >= 0.1.1 in order to make use of fx2lafw. Earlier
22 versions didn't have support for FX2 devices using this firmware.
28 $ git clone git://sigrok.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/sigrok/fx2lafw
38 The generated *.fw files are installed into /usr/local/share/sigrok-firmware.
40 You can override the install location like this:
42 $ sudo make install DESTDIR=/usr/share/sigrok-firmware
48 The fx2lafw code uses a (slightly modified) "fx2lib" helper library.
50 It was imported into fx2lafw from
52 git://github.com/ubixum/fx2lib.git
54 as of Feb 12, 2012 (git hash "416c104cbd").
