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 licensed under the GNU LGPL (version 2.1 or later).
15 - In order to build fx2lafw you need the 'sdcc' compiler.
16 On Debian you can install it via:
18 $ apt-get install sdcc
20 - You need libsigrok >= 0.1.1 in order to make use of fx2lafw. Earlier
21 versions didn't have support for FX2 devices using this firmware.
27 $ git clone git://sigrok.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/sigrok/fx2lafw
35 Copy the generated *.fw file for your device (e.g. fx2lafw-saleae-logic.fw)
36 into the $prefix/share/sigrok-firmware directory (create it, if needed).
38 Replace $prefix with the install prefix of sigrok, e.g. /usr or /usr/local.
40 Example (assuming /usr/local as $prefix):
42 $ sudo mkdir /usr/local/share/sigrok-firmware
44 $ sudo cp hw/saleae-logic/build/fx2lafw-saleae-logic.fw \
45 /usr/local/share/sigrok-firmware
47 The sigrok frontends (command-line or GUI) will automatically search for
48 firmware files there and automatically use/upload them.
