sigrok-cross-mingw: Add required libusb patch for MXE.

[sigrok-util.git] / source / README.new-driver

The 'new-driver' script is meant to reduce the "red tape" involved in creating
a new hardware driver for sigrok. It checks out a new copy of libsigrok from
the git repository, makes entries in the build system for your device, and
creates source code stubs to help you get started.

If you're writing a driver for a new multimeter (DMM) called the
'Flupe Goodluck', invoke the script like this:

	./new-driver Flupe Goodluck

The output will show something like this:

The last line shows the name of the patch file that's created for you. It's
a proper git mail patch, and can be applied to your tree like this:

cd /some/path/libsigrok
git am /some/place/0001-flupe-goodluck-initial-driver-skeleton.patch
