You have to manually select a device in Pulseview it doesnt auto pick buspirate and also make sure to enable fala before in text console of BP5 and choose binary port in Pulseview

I compiled your repo no problem. I then installed the libraries.
But I need pulseview. If I tried to installed it via apt, it wants me to install the official sigrok libraries - which overrides the patched libraries I just installed.
If I compile pulseview from the github using the patched libraries, I get errors.
If I install pulseview from apt (synaptic), it overwrites the libraries, and when I start pulseview I get errors:
pulseview: symbol lookup error: pulseview: undefined symbol: _ZN6sigrok7Context20create_analog_packetESt6vectorISt10shared_ptrINS_7ChannelEESaIS4_EEPfjPKNS_8QuantityEPKNS_4UnitES1_IPKNS_12QuantityFlagESaISG_EE
I’m missing a step.
Ow yeah I just installed pulseview from apt and then replaced symlinks to libsigrok and I think one more libsigrokdecode? Something like that with the ones compiled. If you installed them in the same directory as normal system libs then purge everything reinstall pulseview from apt/aptitude and make install compiled libs to /usr/local/lib so they wont overlap with the system. Let me just find the exact commands in bash history
EDIT:
ln -sf /usr/local/lib/libsigrok.so.4.0.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsigrok.so.4
ln -sf /usr/local/lib/libsigrokcxx.so.4.0.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsigrokcxx.so.4
ln -sf /usr/local/lib/libsigrokdecode.so.4.0.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsigrokdecode.so.4
Your directories might differ depending on your architecture of course. If you need help reach me via chat/DM

Still digging into this. Scanning at 100Khz works. 400Khz doesn’t.
I’m seeing two problems.
- When I copy the individual bus commands as described in the demo, I get NACK’s. Here’s what happens with the first one (below).
- When I run the script attached, and start the logic analyzer just before the pause command, nothing shows up.
Here is the first NACK I get,
I2C> [0x80 0xf5] D:23 [0x81 r:2]
I2C START
TX: 0x80 NACK 0xF5 NACK
I2C STOP
Delay: 23ms
I2C START
TX: 0x81 NACK
RX: 0xFF ACK 0xFF NACK
I2C STOP
I2C> i

But does FALA work for you now? Remember to arm the capture in Pulseview before executing commands
I used pulseview on Windows today.
I was getting undefined symbols on Linux. But I only installed two shared libraries. I’m going to see if I have everything I need to compile the decode library - perhaps I am missing some prerequisites and this will check if that is the case.
But I’m on holiday duty today. No debugging. If you are in the US, have a great Thanksgiving. If not, have a great day and thanks for asking.

But the problem I was reporting on was using the FALA and the script I attached.
I ran the script up to the pause command, then started the capture, and then continued the script. The FALA showed nothing.
But if I do a scan, it shows pulses. The script - no pulses.
Is FALA mode enabled? It should tell you how many samples were captured after each operation:
INFRARED-(RC5)> >0x3010
TX: 0x3010.16
Logic analyzer: 7753 samples captured
INFRARED-(RC5)>
And then Pulseview will just automagically update.
Use the binmode command to enable the FALA interface, then setup Pulseview and click run. You shouldn’t have to do anything else.
