[sigrok-devel] Develop and debug decoder(s)

[Helge K. <Hel...@gm...>]

Hi,

after writing my first decoder half a year ago I want to start with a
new decoder.

The documentation pages
- https://sigrok.org/wiki/Protocol_decoder_HOWTO
- https://sigrok.org/wiki/Protocol_decoder_API
show some help. But I feel uncomfortable with this alone. I hope that
digging in my decoder with a debugger would help to learn what I get
in my functions.

How can I setup a debugger (I hope WinPDB, pdb would also be okay) on
my Windows 10 PC?
How can I attach the debugger to the running PulseView process, or can
I start the program from the debugger?

I am only an occasional visitor to python and sigrok, Honestly I have
no idea where to start and what I should expect in my stacked decoder
as input in the decoder. Do you have any recommendations? How do you
develop a decoder?

Best regards,
Helge
