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).
9 fx2lafw is a Free/Libre/Open-source firmware for logic analyzers based on
10 the Cypress EZ-USB FX2(LP) chip.
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
20 sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw is in a usable state and has had official
27 - In order to build fx2lafw you need the 'sdcc' compiler.
28 On Debian you can install it via:
30 $ apt-get install sdcc
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.
