uart: Add binaryout/dump support, drop obsolete 'uart_dump' PD. The functionality of the preliminary 'uart_dump' PD is now available in the proper 'uart' PD, via the OUTPUT_BINARY mechanism that frontends can use to dump decoded data (in various formats) to a file, or pipe it into other applications, and so on. Old sigrok-cli example usage: $ sigrok-cli -i foo.sr -P uart:rx=0:tx=1,uart_dump:filename=bootlog.txt New sigrok-cli example usage: $ sigrok-cli -i foo.sr -P uart:rx=0:tx=1 -B uart=rxtx > bootlog.txt New sigrok-cli example usage (piping into other applications): $ sigrok-cli -i foo.sr -P uart:rx=0:tx=1 -B uart=rxtx | grep "whatever"
Automate protocol decoder installation. This automatically figures out the files to install for each protocol decoder, without involving autotools. All python files (filenames ending in .py) are always installed. If a protocol decoder requires installation of a non-python file, a small file called 'config' can be created in that protocol decoder's directory, with the following content: # comments are ok extra-install vendorlist.txt commands.txt
All PDs: Name the files pd.py consistently. The Python module name is determined by the directory name (e.g. dcf77), the *.py file names in that directory don't matter and can be kept consistent.
srd: Add experimental uart_dump decoder. This PD stacks on top of the UART protocol decoder, and ouputs the decoded UART data in the "canonical" format, one byte after the other without any metadata (start bits, stop bits, parity bits, errors) and without any sample-numbers and such. This is basically what you would see in a terminal program, such as minicom. Per default it outputs to stdout, but using the 'filename' option and/or the 'filename_rx'/'filename_tx' options it can also output to files. Using the 'tx' and 'rx' options you can also select whether both, or only one of the data direction's data should be output. Example: sigrok-cli -i foo.sr \ -a uart:rx=0:tx=1,uart_dump:rx=no:tx=yes:filename=foo.txt \ -s uart,uart_dump This PD is just an experiment for now, it's possible that it will be replaced / reimplemented via a different sigrok facility later on.
