SUMP compatible logic analyzer for Arduino
|
||||
==========================================
|
||||
|
||||
This Arduino sketch implements a SUMP protocol compatible logic analyzer.
|
||||
This implementation is compatible with the standard SUMP client as well as
|
||||
an alternative OLS client. More recently support has been added to Sigrok.
|
||||
|
||||
This logic analyzer for Arduino supports 6 channels consisting of digital
|
||||
pins 8-13, which are the first 6 bits (0-5) of PORTB.
|
||||
Arduino pin 13 / bit 5 is the Arduino LED, bits 6 & 7 are the crystal
|
||||
oscillator pins. Comment out CHAN5 if you don't want to use the
|
||||
LED pin for an input.
|
||||
|
||||
On the Arduino Mega board 8 channels are supported and 7k of samples.
|
||||
Pins 22-29 (Port A) are used by default.
|
||||
|
||||
Client Software
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
The OLS alternative client hasn't had an official release recently so you will
|
||||
need to compile it yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
Follow the build instructions here: https://github.com/jawi/ols
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Older details on the OLS client is available at the project page:
|
||||
https://lxtreme.nl/projects/ols/
|
||||
|
||||
Direct link to older releases of the OLS alternative client:
|
||||
http://www.lxtreme.nl/ols/
|
||||
|
||||
The alternative client version is highly recommended. You can tried the older
|
||||
release ols-0.9.7.2 but most likely need to build it yourself. Use "ols-0.9.7"
|
||||
or newer for built-in device profiles.
|
||||
|
||||
To use this with the original or alternative SUMP clients,
|
||||
use these settings:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Sampling rate: 4MHz (or lower) (no 2MHz on ATmega168)
|
||||
Channel Groups: 0 (zero) only
|
||||
Recording Size:
|
||||
ATmega168: 532 (or lower)
|
||||
ATmega328: 1024 (or lower)
|
||||
ATmega2560: 7168 (or lower)
|
||||
Noise Filter: doesn't matter
|
||||
RLE: disabled (unchecked)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Using the Logic Analyzer
|
||||
========================
|
||||
Triggering is still a work in progress, but generally works for samples
|
||||
below 1MHz. 1MHz works for a basic busy wait trigger that doesn't store
|
||||
until after the trigger fires.
|
||||
|
||||
Please try it out and report back. Please provide a detailed bug report
|
||||
if you file an issue.
|
||||
|
||||
Debugging
|
||||
=========
|
||||
|
||||
You can uncomment the `#define DEBUG_MENU` line to add some diagnostic menu
|
||||
options for capturing or dumping the capture buffer.
|
||||
You can uncomment the `#define DEBUG` and `#define DEBUG_MENU` for a couple
|
||||
extra menu options and logging of the received commands. The DEBUG option
|
||||
is generally only useful for development, while the DEBUG_MENU option is
|
||||
good for troubleshooting when the logic_analyzer sketch isn't working for you.
|
||||
Both are disabled by default to conserve RAM for improved stability.
|
||||
|
||||
CLI compiling
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use the `arduino-cli` tool to compile this using the Makefile,
|
||||
you'll need to install the tool first following instructions here:
|
||||
https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/
|
||||
|
||||
Once installed you can simple type `make` and you should get some simple help:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
---> run 'make build' to compile for Arduino Duemilanove
|
||||
---> run 'make upload' to upload to /dev/ttyUSB*
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Other Notes
|
||||
===========================================================================
|
||||
```
|
||||
NOTE: Starting with v0.11 you can sample at 4MHz & 2MHz rates in addition to the
|
||||
previous 1MHz and lower rates. This is done via unrolled loops which
|
||||
makes the source code huge and the binary takes much more of the flash.
|
||||
v0.11 is just slightly too big for an ATmega168's flash. The code
|
||||
automatically skips the 2MHz code on ATmega168
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: v0.09 switched the channels BACK to pins 8-13 for trigger reliability.
|
||||
Please report any issues. Uncomment USE_PORTD for pins 2-7.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: If you are using the original SUMP client, then you will get a
|
||||
"device not found" error.
|
||||
You must DISABLE the Arduino auto reset feature to use this logic analyzer
|
||||
code. There are various methods to do this, some boards have a jumper,
|
||||
others require you to cut a trace. You may also install a *precisely*
|
||||
120 Ohm resistor between the reset & 5V piins. Make sure it is really
|
||||
120 Ohm or you may damage your board. It is much easier to use the
|
||||
alternative SUMP client referenced above.
|
||||
[ This is not needed with ols-0.9.7 or newer. ]
|
||||
[ DO NOT use this resistor unless absolutely necessary on old clients. ]

||||
