Hi,

I saw there are some plans for a generalized trigger specification.
http://sigrok.org/wiki/New_trigger_specification

The most general approach which would still make sense (from my point
of view), are finite automata (this is an option in professional logic
analyzers). The input symbol into the automaton would be a single bit
or a vector. Since finite automata are equivalent to regular
expressions, they could be used for syntax.

It should also be possible to separate signals into groups, apply an
automaton/regex to each group and then apply logic functions between
groups. For example for SDRAM, a sequence on control signals (WE, CAS,
RAS) AND a specific address.

Regarding an implementation we would have to find or write a fast
streaming regex implementation, which would tell if the current
character is the last character of a matching word or not. I will look
further into it in the next weeks.

Regards,
Iztok Jeras
