Run sigrok without root
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I am trying to run sigrok with real HW. However, running pulseview, there is no real HW possible. I suspected that this was due to sigrok not having the privilege to access the HW, and so I ran it as root, and I was able to access the HW.
My question is:
How do I run this without root? I assume I need to change the gid or uid of the device file to be able to access it. If so:
- How do I find out the device file for the HW?
- How to do this cleanly? .i.e. automate this when the HW is disconnected and reconnected.
- Which gid? is there a convention?
In case it is relevant
- Hantek 6022BL. Currently, operating in Logic Analyzer mode and is using the driver "Saleae Logic".
- LTS 18.04
drivers 18.04 udev

Can someone with sufficient reputation create tag "sigrok" and/or "pulseview" please?

Find the device name withsudo lshworsudo lsof, orjournalctl --followas you turn the device on. Thenls -l /dev/_device_. If the device premits "group" access, useadduserto add yourself to that group, and either logout/login ornewgrp. Readman adduser;man newgrp

Find the device name with
sudo lshw or sudo lsof, or journalctl --follow as you turn the device on. Then ls -l /dev/_device_. If the device premits "group" access, use adduser to add yourself to that group, and either logout/login or newgrp. Read man adduser;man newgrp– waltinator
