I'm a little confused about whether this has been talked about before. Has anyone here seen the OpenSource project at SourceForge called LogicAnalyzer (http://http://logicanalyzer.sourceforge.net/)?
The main page says it's built on Eclipse, which seems about as slow as any other Java platform. They also claim compatibility with the Open Workbench [sic] Logic Sniffer, so I'm surprised I could not find any mention here when I searched. Maybe I searched for the wrong key words...
I saw it pop up on every blog yesterday, but I've never heard of it either. I even shot them an email looking for an inside scoop for the blog, but didn't hear anything back. I'll be posting it up today.
This is the first that I have seen it, I do like the fact that it is RCP based. The Eclipse Rich Client Platform applications look really nice on all the OS's out there and it is really easy to add cool new features. I was going to suggest at some point that we should try to port the Sump Java Client to RCP at some point but it looks like someone is already working on it.
Has anyone downloaded it and tried it out?
As a side note I have a Virtual Breadboard Eclipse RCP application that I had developed for the Butterfly Platform but never got the time to debug and release. It is meant to allow an end user to draw connections between I/O ports on an FPGA board and it automatically generates the VHDL for those connections. The idea is that you can just plug your hardware in and draw connections between say pin 5 of a connected Arduino and pin 3 of an IRDA module which saves you from having to breadboard stuff anymore. The cool thing about it was that since it was Eclipse based it was trivial to add a VHDL editor to modify the generated VHDL on the fly. Maybe one day I will be able to put the time into making it all work.
Jack.
