Hello, today we got hands on the Asix Sigma2. We especially ordered it because of the support of sigrok. While I fully understand that open source software, supporting a wide range of different hardware types, can be incomplete at some points, I'm a bit disappointed that even the "Usage Example" in the wiki does not work at all (and maybe did never).
Here is a list of what I've come across with and how I worked around problems: 1) after doing anything with sigrok-cli (e.g. scanning devices) I get a double free. This is because of asix-sigma.c:427 where ftdi_free is called instead of ftdi_deinit 2) I always get a "sigrok-cli only supports one device for capturing." even if I specify exactly one device using the "-d" option. This is because run_session tries to find all devices (which will return the demo dummy device and the sigma in my case) and checks whether this device list is greater than one, ignoring the "-d" option. My workaround here was to recompile libsigrok without the demo driver leaving only one device in the list. 3) The example uses the "--samples 5000000" option but the hwcaps of your driver does not enlist SR_HWCAP_LIMIT_SAMPLES, so all you get is "Failed to configure sample limit.". 4) Finally I tried "sigrok-cli -d 0:samplerate=10m --time 1000 -O bits -p 1-4" but the effect was more or less equivalent to "sleep 1". When I give an "-o outfile" option I'm left with an empty file. Here is the output of loglevel 5: --BEGIN--- sr: libsigrok loglevel set to 5. srd: libsigrokdecode loglevel set to 5. sr: Found ASIX SIGMA - Serial: A6021022 sr: sigma: Uploading firmware asix-sigma-50.fw sr: sigma: Firmware uploaded sr: session: starting sr: bus: received SR_DF_HEADER cli: Received SR_DF_HEADER sr: bus: received SR_DF_META_LOGIC cli: Received SR_DF_META_LOGIC sr: session: running --END----- I'm missing some log messages saying that samples are actually transferred. All problems were observed using the current git head. I also tried the newest tarballs of sourceforge, but the --samples thing was the same and --time didn't exist. So my questions are: Have I done anything wrong? Is there maybe ANY revision I should check which at least captures some samples?
