This is a list of supported protocol decoders (PDs) and decoders which we might want to write in the future (or users might want to contribute).

See Protocol decoder API for details on how the decoders work in sigrok.

Low-level protocol decoders

Protocol decoders that only require raw probes/signals as input (and don't require any already decoded data from other PDs).

Protocol Output ID(s) Status Description Comments
Basic / microcontrollers / embedded
SPI spi 80% Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol. Mostly working, though some details need to be fixed or improved.
I²C i2c 80% Inter-Integrated Circuit (I²C) protocol. Mostly working, though some details need to be fixed or improved.
UART uart 80% Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) protocol. Mostly working, though some details need to be fixed or improved.
1-Wire 20% Work in progress (Iztok Jeras)
Microwire 0%
UNI/O 0%
Automotive / industrial / embedded
CAN 0%
FlexRay 0% FlexRay is an automotive network communications protocol.
LIN 0% LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is an automotive bus standard.
Embedded
JTAG jtag 80% Joint Test Action Group (IEEE 1149.1) Mostly working, though some details need to be fixed or improved.
SWD 0%
AVR ISP avr_isp 10% Atmel AVR In-system programming protocol. Work in progress (Uwe Hermann)
AVR PDI 0% Atmel Program and Debug Interface (PDI) protocol.
AVR TPI 0% Atmel Tiny Programming Interface (TPI) protocol.
PC
USB (full-speed) usb 80% Universal Serial Bus (USB), full-speed, low-level protocol. Mostly working, though some details need to be fixed or improved.

I²S i2s 90% I²S (Inter-IC Sound, Integrated Interchip Sound, or IIS) is a bus for connecting digital audio devices together. Needs more testing and documentation.
Consumer IR
Nokia NRC17 0%

DALI 0%
PWM 0%
Serial EEPROMs
AT93C46 0% Atmel AT93C46 serial EEPROM protocol
Displays
HD44780 0% HD44780 character LCD protocol
7-segment display 0%
Other
Transition counter transitioncounter 90% Counts rising and falling edges in the signal. Mostly working.
GPIB gpib 0% General purpose interface bus (GPIB), a.k.a. IEEE-488.1.

... and many, many more.

Ideas:

  • Number of clock cycles / rising-edges / falling-edges / transitions / etc. (total or per-signal)
  • Min/Max/Avg distance between two events (rising edge, falling edge, signal lenths, etc.)
  • ...

High-level protocol decoders

Protocol decoders that do not (only) have raw signals/samples as input, but rather also data which was already decoded by one or more low-level PDs.
