No need, he's not using the FX3. He's using the FTDI FT601, which is a "dumb" USB3 interface and needs no firmware. That's why an MCU or FPGA is needed to interface it, but that's okay since an FPGA is needed as the front-end anyway. -Soeren ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ sigrok-devel mailing list sigrok-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sigrok-devel
