Wow... I'm completely amazed, no idea that this project existed. As you say, it's similar to the (very) advanced LA offerings for in-FPGA debugging. > The project looks complete but also abandoned.

Yup, seems like a good way forward. What's needed here is for some FPGA projects to incorporate chipspy into their projects, providing sigrok with an "excuse" to support it. I'm going to ask some FPGA developers about this and see if they're interested. If anyone knows projects that could benefit, please do the same. This is potentially awesome for chipspy + sigrok + open source FPGA projects. -- Bert Vermeulen [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ sigrok-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sigrok-devel
