Drivers for BeagleBoneBlack and Raspberry Pi

Hi maltman1,

The example files were removed from the driver packages as we looking to change how examples are made available.

Edit: Files now available via GitHub. Please find below links to the files that you will need.

https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-c-examples/tree/master/ps2000a

https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-c-examples/tree/master/ps4000

Hope this helps.

Regards,

If you get this:

Code: Select all

root@tvpi:/opt/picoscope# make
make  all-am
make[1]: Entering directory '/opt/picoscope'
  CC       PS2000Acon.o
  CCLD     ps2000acon

Do this:

root@tvpi:/opt/picoscope# make
make  all-am
make[1]: Entering directory '/opt/picoscope'

Hy,

is it possible to get the c examples also for libps3000?
Also I want to ask if there are possibilities to run picoscope software on raspberry pi? Maybe with compiling it directly on the pi?

Thanks for help!

Karlo

Hi karlo,

Please find attached the files below.


You will need to ensure that you have the autoconf and libtoolize packages installed.

Previous investigations have found that there would be performance issues in trying to run a PicoScope version on a Raspberry Pi so there are no plans for a version that can be run on this platform at this present moment in time.

Hi,

I'm trying to install PicoScope 6 on the Raspberry Pi 3 following these instructions: https://www.picotech.com/downloads/linux

I can go through the first three steps with no problem, but when it comes to step 4:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install picoscope

I get this message on the Terminal:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install picoscope
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
picoscope : Depends: picomono but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


Any help/ideas, please? Thanks

Hi silvia,

Unfortunately, we do not currently support PicoScope on Raspberry Pi platforms.

You will need to use a standard Linux distribution (Ubuntu/Fedora etc.) in order to use PicoScope on a Linux platform.

Thanks Hitesh, I've posted another reply in another thread

Hi Mario,

I installed libusbtc08 driver and inside /picoscope/share/doc/libusbtc08 just two files,
Copyright and usbtest. Do you know how can I fix this ?

Hi alsamaree,

Please find below the example C source code file and build files for the USB TC-08:

Hi alsamaree,

There is an incorrect reference to the PicoStatus.h file which this driver does not use.

I've updated the zip file in the post above so please download this and the source code file should have the fix.

Edit: The files are now available from GitHub:

https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-c-examples/tree/master/usbtc08

Please use the usbtc08con.c file from the usbtc08Con sub-folder.

Regards,

Thank you Hitesh, works like magic.
