Description Joel Holdsworth 2014-01-25 14:26:52 CET
Created attachment 62 [details]
The count session file.

@bmx provided this method to generate the session:

$ (echo "[global]"; echo "sigrok version=0.2.2"; echo; echo "[device 1]"; \
   echo "capturefile=logic-1"; echo "total probes=8"; \
   echo "samplerate=100 Hz"; for i in $(seq 1 8); do echo probe$i=A$i ; done; \
   echo "unitsize=1" )> metadata
$ echo 1 > version
$ for i in $(seq 0 255); do printf "%02X" $i ; done | xxd -r -ps > logic-1-1
$ zip test.sr version metadata logic-1-1


Now decode the file in sigrok-cli:

./sigrok-cli -i ~/Downloads/test.sr -P parallel:d0=0:d1=1:d2=2:d3=3:d4=4:d5=5:d6=6:d7=7

Output:

...
FB
FC
FD
FE

...but where is the FF value?

Commit 819e508972da adds the "send EOF to decoder sessions" API call which 
applications need to check for and invoke. All previously communicated 
concerns still apply. Decoders should never claim that a protocol activity 
had ended or completed when the end condition was never seen in the data. 
Emitting warnings in the presence of incomplete activity remains the most 
appropriate activity.

libsigrokdecode commit e303fd42917f fixes the issue for the "parallel" PD. 
Other decoders could follow this example. But care must be taken to never 
falsely claim the completion of frames when their end condition was not seen.

fd6005aadf3c86bca4dc1fb487d8615669e1deee forces an update for late annotations and works in combination with gsi's libsrd changes.

Thanks, gsi!
