=== Firmware upload ===
Since we use the open-source [[fx2lafw]] firmware for this device, we don't need to know the protocol.


The FX2 firmware (3072 bytes in size) is uploaded before every sampling run. Certain bytes in the firmware differ depending on the selected sampling rate.
However, for those interested in this, see our old [[Braintechnology_USB-LPS/Info#Vendor_USB_protocol|vendor protocol docs]].

The byte values for sampling with 8 or 16 probes are thus identical, the only difference is that the sampling rates 24/16/15MHz are not available when 16 probes are used.
 
=== Sample format ===
 
* 8 bit sampling: Every sample is a byte, bit 0 is the value of probe 0, bit 7 is the value of probe 7.
* 16 bit sampling: Every sample consists of two bytes.
** First byte: Bit 0 is the value of probe 0, bit 7 is the value of probe 7.
** Second byte: Bit 0 is the value of probe 8, bit 7 is the value of probe 15.
 
=== Buffer size ===
 
Not relevant to the protocol, happens purely in software, on the PC side (by sending the "stop acquisition" command at the correct point in time).
 
The original software allows setting a buffer size to 1-2433 MB, in 1MB steps. This is simply the amount of data streamed from the device to the PC (there is no device-internal buffer/memory).
 
=== Pre-Trigger value ===
 
Not relevant to the protocol, happens purely in software, on the PC side.
 
The original software has a pretrigger setting (a scrollbar); it's unclear whether this is an absolute value or a percentage or something else.
 
=== Trigger settings ===
 
Not relevant to the protocol, happens purely in software, on the PC side.
 
The original software allows setting per-probe triggers (4 levels deep). At each level the trigger for that probe can be low, high, or dont-care.

The Braintechnology USB-LPS is a Cypress FX2 based 16-channel, 24MHz, USB-based logic analyzer and signal/pattern generator.

See Braintechnology USB-LPS/Info for some more details (such as lsusb -vvv output) on the device.

In sigrok, the open-source fx2lafw firmware and driver is used for this device.

Hardware

  • Main chip: Cypress CY7C68013A-56PVXC (FX2LP)
  • I2C EEPROM: Atmel ATTiny13-20SU
  • 3.3V voltage regulator: LD33
  • Crystal: 24MHz

Protocol

Since we use the open-source fx2lafw firmware for this device, we don't need to know the protocol.

However, for those interested in this, see our old vendor protocol docs.
