The mcupro Logic16 clone is a USB-based, 16-channel logic analyzer with 100/50/32/16MHz sampling rate (at 3/6/9/16 enabled channels).

This is a clone of the Saleae Logic16.

See mcupro Logic16 clone/Info for more details (such as lsusb -v output) about the device.

Hardware (Actel variant)

• FPGA: Actel A3P125
• USB interface chip: Cypress CY7C68013A
• I2C EEPROM: Atmel 24C02N
• 3.3V voltage regulator: Advanced Monolithic Systems AMS1117-3.3
• 1.5V voltage regulator: Advanced Monolithic Systems AMS1117-1.5
• Crystal: 24.000MHz

Hardware (Cylone variant)

• FPGA: Altera Cyclone EP1C3T100
• USB interface chip: Cypress CY7C68013A
• I2C EEPROM: Atmel 24C02N
• 3.3V voltage regulator: Advanced Monolithic Systems AMS1117-3.3
• 1.5V voltage regulator: Advanced Monolithic Systems AMS1117-1.5
• Crystal (FX2): 24.000MHz
• Crystal (FPGA): 100.000MHz
• FPGA Bitstream 25P10 1MBit SPI NOR flash, ST Microelectronics
• Bootstrap Controller STCMCU 15F10, 8051 compatible

Hardware (2015-01-08 variant)

PCB Marked "Saleae Logic 16 By MCUPro 2015-1-8" Readily identifiable by the irregular pcb traces, and switching power supplies This comes in a different case, identical to the Noname_XL-LOGIC16-100M.

• FPGA: Markings ground off
• USB interface chip: Markings ground off, but presumably a Cypress FX2 like all others. Cypress CY7C68013A
• I2C EEPROM: Markings ground off
• 3.3V voltage regulator: Unrecognized switcher in sot23-5 (Seems to be 3.8V?!)
• 1.5V voltage regulator: Unrecognised switcher in sot23-5
• Crystal (FX2): 24.000MHz
• Crystal (FPGA): Looks like 32Mhz?
• FPGA Bitstream 25P10 1MBit SPI NOR flash, ST Microelectronics
• Bootstrap Controller Not required?

Hardware (2014-01-25 variant)

PCB Marked "Saleae Logic 16 mcupro 2014.1.25"

• FPGA: Markings ground off
• USB interface chip: Markings ground off

Protocol

Firmware

Actel variant

This logic analyzer works with unmodified Saleae software. The Actel FPGA has on-chip flash storage, so it only requires an upload of Cypress FX2LP firmware in order to operate.

Cyclone variant

This logic analyzer works with unmodified Saleae software. The PCB contains a serial flash chip, so it only requires an upload of Cypress FX2LP firmware in order to operate.

2015-1-8 variant

Only requires an upload of Cypress FX2LP firmware to operate. Opensource binaries from [1] work, but must be renamed to saleae-logic16-fx2.fw

The firmware extraction steps are identical to steps for Saleae Logic16, however you only need to have saleae-logic16-fx2.fw installed.
