Supported hardware
Revision as of 22:25, 4 April 2011 by Uwe Hermann (talk | contribs)
sigrok is intended as a flexible, cross-platform, and hardware-independent logic analyzer software, i.e., it supports various logic analyzers from many different vendors.
Here is a list of currently supported devices (various stages of completeness) and devices we plan to support in the near future.
Device | Status | Comments |
---|---|---|
supported |
The Saleae Logic is a low-cost logic analyzer. The unit itself is very small, and has a USB 2.0 port connecting it to a PC (and powering the unit) and a connector for the 8+1 probe set. It is built around a Cypress EZ-USB FX2LP microcontroller — an 8051-compatible chip with built-in USB 2.0 controller. It can sample 8 channels up to 24MHz. | |
supported |
The EE Electronics / Eeelec XLA (a.k.a. ESLA100) is a cheap 8-channel logic analyzer (and a Saleae Logic clone). | |
supported |
The ASIX SIGMA is a 16 channel logic analyzer with sample rate support up to 200 MHz and with 256 Mbit on-board memory. | |
supported |
The Openbench Logic Sniffer (OLS) is an FPGA-based logic analyzer, supporting 32 probes for probing up to 100MHz signals and advanced trigger functionality. It is a fully open source device — the circuit design, VHDL code for the FPGA, firmware for the PIC microcontroller and Java-based client software are all freely available. The project is a collaboration between Gadget Factory and Dangerous Prototypes. | |
supported |
The ZEROPLUS Logic Cube LAP-C logic analyzer series should be supported in sigrok pretty soon. | |
supported |
The ChronoVu LA8 is a USB-based 8-channel logic analyzer with up to 100MHz sampling rate. | |
in progress |
The CWAV USBee SX is a Cypress FX2 based, 8-channel logic analyzer (and signal generator). | |
in progress |
The Braintechnology USB-LPS is an Cypress FX2 based logic analyzer and signal generator with up to 16 channels. | |
in progress |
The Intronix Logicport LA1034 is an FPGA-based logic analyzer, capable of sampling data on 34 channels at up to 500MHz. It has very limited memory, however, and can only use compression at rates up to 200MHz. | |
in progress |
The Link Instruments MSO-19 is a 2GSa/s oscilloscope, 200MSa/s logic analyzer, 100MSa/s pattern generator and a TDR. It is also extremely portable and is only $249 (including probe, clips, wires and software). | |
planned |
The Buspirate v3 supports a logic analyzer mode and can thus be used for sample captures, however only at low speeds. To quote from the announcement: The Bus Pirate can’t store a lot of samples, it can’t feed live samples very fast, and speeds are in the kHz range. | |
planned |
Pico Technology PicoScope 2203 | |
planned |
Ikalogic SCANALOGIC-2 PRO | |
planned |
The RockyLogic Ant18e is a 1GHz logic analyzer. | |
planned |
The Microchip PICkit2 is a programmer/debugger for PIC microcontrollers, but it can also be used as a 3-channel logic analyzer. |
Potential other candidates
If you own any other logic analyzers and want to add support for them in sigrok (or donate/lend devices to developers), please let us know. We're always happy to add more hardware support! The Logic Analyzer Comparison table lists quite a few other devices we know about which may be interesting targets.
