Title: Turn your BeagleBoneBlack into a 14-CHANNEL, 100MSPS LOGIC ANALYZER
Post by: nixfu on February 20, 2015, 04:26:19 am

This might be an alternative for the hobbist to a dedicated USB Logic Analyzer. 


The analyzer can sample signals from 10Hz upto 100MHz, in 8 or 16 bits and up to a maximum of 14 channels. Sample depth depends on free RAM, and upto 320MB can be reserved for BeagleLogic. There’s also a web interface.

When used in conjunction with the sigrok library, BeagleLogic supports software triggers and decoding over 30 different digital protocols.

Core Specifications:

• Sample Rate: 10 Hz to 100 MHz [(100/N) MHz; integer N]
• Sample Size: 8-bit or 16-bit [a maximum of 14 inputs: P8_39 to P8_46, P8_27 to P8_30, P8_20 and P8_21 (after disabling the eMMC)]
• Sample Depth: Depends on the free RAM in the system. Starting from a minimum of 8 MB upto 320 MB of the system RAM can be reserved for BeagleLogic operation.
• Sampling Mode: One-Shot or Continuous Sampling, software-triggered
