NOTE:

At this time my pull request into the main sigrok repo has not been accepted.

Thus mainline releases of sigrok cli and pulseview do not support this repo.

The pull request is https://github.com/sigrokproject/libsigrok/pull/181 . I have no ETA when it may be pulled.

I have managed to do a cross compile of PulseView for windows. Instructions to download are here. https://github.com/pico-coder/sigrok-pico/blob/main/pulseview/Readme.md

For linux, at least three other people have managed to combine my pull request into a libsigrok build. If you are on linux it's probably a practical experiment to try. 4GB of RAM is recommended for pulseview builds to avoid disk swap issues. See SigrokBuildNotes.md

sigrok-pico

Use a raspberry pi pico (rp2040) as a logic analyzer and oscilloscope with sigrok. This implementation uses the pico SDK CDC serial library to communicate with sigrok-cli/pulseview through a sigrok driver.

Directories:

pico_pgen is a simple digital function generator useful for creating patterns to test.

pico_sdk_sigrok is the pico sdk C code for the PICO RP2040 device.

The latest libsigrok code exists as a fork at https://github.com/pico-coder/libsigrok
