LibTiePie SDK Linux

Tux

Important notice

LibTiePie is succeeded by the libtiepie-hw SDK. LibTiePie is no longer maintained. The final information and files can be found here. It is recommended to use the libtiepie-hw SDK for new developments.

Requirements

LibTiePie requires that the following libraries are available:

  • libusb-1.0 for interfacing USB oscilloscopes.
  • libudev0 or libudev1 for detecting USB oscilloscope arrival/removal.
  • zlib1g for compressing transferred data.

On most modern Linux distributions these libraries are installed by default.

Installation

Using packages

TiePie engineering has a Linux debian based package server with packages for the LibTiePie SDK. Installation instructions for the TiePie engineering repository are found on the Linux packages page. This page also lists the available packages. After installing the repository, you can use your favorite package manager to install the required LibTiePie packages.

Manual installation

To install the LibTiePie SDK manually:

  1. Download the appropriate LibTiePie version for your system.
  2. Unpack the downloaded tar.gz by executing tar -zxf tar.gz file name in the shell or by using a GUI tool.
  3. Go to the directory with the extracted files.
  4. Run sudo ./install.sh if sudo is installed, else execute ./install.sh as root.

The install.sh script will install the library into /usr/lib and the header file into /usr/include. An udev rules file will be installed in /etc/udev/rules.d so that users in the plugdev group can use TiePie engineering USB oscilloscopes.
