1 Reasons Driving Change in FPGA Debugging Technology The reprogramming capability of FPGAs is a key advantage in the functional debugging of hardware designs. In the early days of using CPLDs and FPGAs, when a design was found to be malfunctioning, engineers would use the “debug hook” method. They would route the internal signals of … Read more
μLA (Micro Logic Analyzer) is a SUMP/OLS compatible logic analyzer firmware based on the RP2040 board. By using this firmware, you can quickly turn a Raspberry Pi Pico (or any RP2040 board) into a simple logic analyzer. Github Link: https://github.com/dotcypress/ula Features: 16 Channels 100 MHz Sampling Rate, 1 sample per second tick 200KB Sampling Storage … Read more

Previously, we introduced how to create a logic analyzer and oscilloscope using RP2040. Today, we will build a logic analyzer using FPGA. Currently, the mainstream architecture of logic analyzers in China is based on FPGA + USB PHY. The combination of the advantages of FPGA and the high accessibility of USB has kept it in … Read more
Abstract Are you still calculating repeatedly to locate errors, struggling to choose triggers, and worrying about reducing sampling accuracy? When debugging signals, we always hope that the storage time of the logic analyzer can be as long as possible. So, how can we maximize the storage time of the logic analyzer? 1. Increase Memory Space … Read more
Whether you are developing microcontrollers or FPGAs, a protocol analysis tool – the logic analyzer, is often used. Unlike oscilloscopes, it can only collect digital signals, with sampling rates typically ranging from hundreds of MHz to GHz, supporting multiple channels for simultaneous sampling. The accompanying software supports parsing dozens of protocols such as I2C, UART, … Read more
Content Summary Previously, we released a high-performance logic analyzer with 8 channels and a 500M sampling rate based on the BX71 core board. Many users of the ACZ702 development board also hope we can provide firmware based on the ACZ702 development board. Today, we bring you this high-performance logic analyzer firmware and usage instructions based … Read more
