About:
Libsigrokdecode is a shared library providing protocol decoders for logic analyzers and other signal acquisition hardware. It processes digital signals captured by compatible hardware and interprets them into human-readable protocol data. This enables developers to analyze complex digital communication buses like SPI, I2C, UART, and many others.
Key Features:
  • Extensive library of protocol decoders
  • Supports multiple hardware backends
  • Python-based decoder scripting
  • Integration with logic analyzer software
Use Cases:
  • Debugging digital communication protocols
  • Reverse engineering hardware interfaces
  • Embedded systems development and verification
Alternatives:
  • PulseView – PulseView is a GUI front-end that uses libsigrokdecode for protocol analysis
  • Logic Analyzers (vendor-specific) – Proprietary vendor software vs. open-source, cross-platform libsigrokdecode
