About:
libsigrok is a shared library written in C that provides the hardware API layer for the sigrok logic analysis software suite. It abstracts communication with various logic analyzers and test equipment, allowing software to interface with devices from multiple manufacturers through a unified interface. The library is designed to be lightweight and portable, enabling cross-platform support for data acquisition hardware.
Key Features:
  • Hardware abstraction layer for diverse logic analyzers
  • Cross-platform C library with language bindings
  • Support for multiple device protocols and vendors
  • Lightweight and portable architecture
Use Cases:
  • Developing custom applications for logic analyzer hardware
  • Integrating test equipment control into embedded systems
  • Building automated signal measurement and analysis tools
Alternatives:
  • libusb – Lower-level USB communication only, lacks device-specific protocol handling
  • PulseView – GUI application that uses libsigrok as its backend library
