Open Bench Logic Sniffer / Dynamic capture for the OLS
The idea is this: If we add a 32bit memory array for a counter, and a comparator for the input and last input state, we can extend the recording time significantly. We capture only when we detect a change by the comparator, or a overflow of the counter.
The worst case where signal changes every cycle, we cut our memory in half for 32bit and 1/5 for 8bit capture. But in the best case, we effectively multiply the memory by up to ((2^32)-1)/2 for 32bit and ((2^32)-1)/5 for 8bit.
Most likely this implementation will reduce the maximum bandwidth. But I think it would be very useful for applications that require very long captures with bursty signals that have many gaps and delays.
Is this possible?
