Summary

  • Sigrok is a platform for open-source signal analysis offering software for logic analyzers and more.
  • It has become the go-to platform for such analysis but its own site being down has raised alarm bells.
  • The site is down whilst it moves to a new hosting provider, but it is unclear how long this will take and if the project will continue to receive the support it needs.
  • This is a recurring problem and highlights the issues around maintaining free and open-source projects.
  • Its documentation is only truly available from the WaybackMachine archive highlighting the futility of the situation.
