I was having issues getting my Saleae clone to work. I ended up figuring it out but Pulseview could make it way easier on the users. With my Saleae clone and Saleae firmware installed, I could detect it in Pulseview and add it to the list, but I could not actually select it (checkmark appears). Terminal info from PV: sr: resource: Failed to open resource 'fx2lafw-saleae-logic.fw' (use loglevel 5/spew for details). sr: fx2lafw: Firmware upload failed for device 3.84 (logical). sr: fx2lafw: Unable to get version info: LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT. sr: fx2lafw: Failed to get firmware version. sr: fx2lafw: Unable to open device. Terminal info (cutout) from PV with logging level 5: sr: [00:00.815963] resource: Attempt to open '/root/.local/share/sigrok-firmware/fx2lafw-saleae-logic.fw' failed: No such file or directory sr: [00:00.815973] resource: Attempt to open '/usr/share/sigrok-firmware/fx2lafw-saleae-logic.fw' failed: No such file or directory sr: [00:00.815982] resource: Attempt to open '/usr/local/share/sigrok-firmware/fx2lafw-saleae-logic.fw' failed: No such file or directory sr: [00:00.815989] resource: Attempt to open '/usr/share/sigrok-firmware/fx2lafw-saleae-logic.fw' failed: No such file or directory sr: [00:00.815994] resource: Failed to locate 'fx2lafw-saleae-logic.fw'. What a common user wants to actually do in this case is just download the latest prebuilt files from https://sigrok.org/download/binary/sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw/ I'd consider this issue resolved if PV at least had a popup when this happens saying "Hey, PV needs to flash firmware on your device but it can't find any firmware files. You can download pre-built firmware from [Clickable URL] and extract it in [~/.local/share/sigrok-firmware/]" and have a button there that opens up the firmware folder (and creates it if needed). I only use Pulseview on Linux and have no clue what needs to be done for other platforms.
>but I could not actually select it (checkmark appears) What I meant there is that the checkmark does not actually appear in PV and practically nothing happens.
Under Ubuntu, installed from the official sources PulseView finds the device, but after clicking "OK" nothing happens and nothing is selected. I had to start the program from console and put three different error messages into google to find this bug report. I am pretty sure not everyone is able to do that, not even speaking of the horrible usability (none). Please fix this.
I got the same error. I solved the issue by installing the package sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw.
