5The sigrok project aims at creating a portable, cross-platform,
6Free/Libre/Open-Source signal analysis software suite that supports various
7device types (such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, multimeters, and more).
8
9sigrok-test is a collection of various tools and files for testing sigrok.

36Building and usage
37------------------
38
39Assumption: libsigrok and libsigrokdecode are installed in $HOME/sr.
40If they are in a standard location instead, you don't need the
41PKG_CONFIG_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH below.
42
43In order to get the sigrok-test source code and build it, run:
44
45 $ git clone git://sigrok.org/sigrok-test
46 $ cd sigrok-test
fb2f61ba 47 $ ./autogen.sh
dd37a782
UH
48 $ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/sr/lib/pkgconfig ./configure \
49 --with-decodersdir=/path/to/decoders
50 $ make
51
52This will test the decoders located at /path/to/decoders:
53
11d0ef7b 54 $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/sr/lib ./decoder/pdtest -r -v -a

4aebc67a 57Adding tests
58------------
59
60The best way to add tests is to copy one that is similar, and adjust
61accordingly. Some notes:
62
63 * In test.conf, the channel assignments must be done in a specific way:
64
65 protocol-decoder <pdname> channel <pd_channel_name>=<#> ...
66
67 Example:
68
69 protocol-decoder mcs48 d0=8 d1=9 [...] a8=0 ...
70
71 Of important note, the channels/probes are numbered from 0, regardless of
72 the naming used in the capture file.
73
eb7f7eff 74 * To initially generate the test files which have been configured in test.conf
75 pdtest has to be run with the -f parameter first.
76
77 Example:
78
79 ./decoder/pdtest -r -v -f <testroot>
80
81 This can also be done to update the test-cases in case of a changes in
82 the protocol decoder.
83
4aebc67a 84 * To troubleshoot a specific test, try:
85
86 * Run all tests under decoder/test/<testroot>:
87
88 ./decoder/pdtest -v -d -r <testroot>
eb7f7eff 89
4aebc67a 90 * Run the named test. Note, in this case <testname> is not
91 a file but rather a test described in <testroot>/test.conf.
92
93 ./decoder/pdtest -v -d -r <testroot>/<testname>
94
95 * Print parameters as parsed from <testroot>/test.conf (to spot typos):
96
97 ./decoder/pdtest -v -s <testroot>
