The insideGadgets Logic Observer is an 8-channel logic analyzer with up to 50MHz sampling rate. It is a mostly open project with all source code (CPLD, MCU) available, as well as a schematic of the PCB.
See insideGadgets Logic Observer/Info for more details (such as lsusb -v output) about the device.
Hardware
Protocol
The device is controlled entirely via USB control messages. The command is encoded in the request value of the control message; value and index are unused.
The following requests are defined:
USB_TRANSFER (1)
This tells the device to transfer the samples captured in memory to the host. This is called multiple times; the buffer memory is transferred 254 bytes at a time, with the address increasing automatically. The address is reset when a capture is started or settings are updated.
USB_SETTINGS (2)
Send new settings to the device. The settings consist of the following eight bytes sent along with the control request:
| Byte | Description | 
|---|---|
| 0 | Channel to trigger on. | 
| 1 | Level to trigger on (0 or 1). | 
| 2 | Delay after trigger. | 
| 3 | trigger count | 
| 4 | Sample rate. | 
| 5 | Number of samples to capture | 
| 6 | Start capture flag: a capture is started if this is not 0. | 
| 7 | Always 0. |
