Harald Welte f5e7264a27 import latest e1-tracer host software
This was originally in https://github.com/smunaut/ice40-playground
but has meanwhile been removed, only a fork at
https://github.com/laf0rge/ice40-playground remained.

Let's import the code here.  The history is not all that exciting
so I'm saving myself the effort of git filter-branch or the like
to import the actual old commits.

The commit log is here for reference:

commit bd36d40cc30acbae68978df79eff03f0539a9a21

    e1-recorder main.c: Don't exist just because one ISO transfer failed

    I get LIBUSB_TRANSFER_ERROR every so often (once every few hours) on my
    laptop.  Sure, it likely means there was some data lost, but the trace
    can continue juts fine after this error.  So make it non-fatal and
    continue running.

    e1-recorder: Don't silently ignore write failures

    The disk may be full, for example. We should report that to the user
    and terminate the program.

commit ead99fdfae6f1db54c79a91ef407a86c67352d87
Author: Harald Welte <laforge@osmocom.org>

    e1-recorder: Exit process on transfer + resubmit failure

    This is particularly importnat in case the USB device for some reason
    gets disconnected and re-connects.  We want the process to fail fast
    and have systemd respawn us.

osmo-e1-hardware - Collection of various E1/TDM hardware projects
======================================================================

This repository hosts three different sub-projects:

* osmo-e1-xcvr (E1 LIU + magnetics)
  https://osmocom.org/projects/e1-t1-adapter/wiki/Osmo-e1-xcvr
* osmo-e1-tracer (fully integrated passive raw bitstream tracer)
  https://osmocom.org/projects/e1-t1-adapter/wiki/E1_tracer
* osmo-e1-tap (passive high-impedance tap)

== osmo-e1-xcvr ==

This is a simple hardware project that aims to generate a reusable module
for interfacing E1/T1/J1 lines from various custom FPGA/CPLD/microcontroller
projects.

The board contains tranformers, the analog circuitry, the LIU (line interface
unit), an oscillator as well as an integrated transceiver chip.

It exposes the control interface (SPI) as well as the decoded synchronous
Rx/Tx bitstreams each on a 2x5pin header.

Framer, Multiplexe,r HDLC decoder or anything like that is out-of-scope for
now.  The idea relaly is to provide an interface as low-level as possible.

One of the ideas is to create a "soft E1" interface, where the Rx/Tx bitstreams
are interfaced with the SSC of an AT91SAM3S and subsequently passed into a PC
via USB.  The 2Mbps signal is very low-bandwidth, so that a pure software
implementation should be absolutely no problem for todays computing power.

See https://osmocom.org/projects/e1-t1-adapter/wiki/Osmo-e1-xcvr for more details


== osmo-e1-tap ==

This is a small passive board that allows you to perform high-impedance tracing on an E1
or T1 line.


== osmo-e1-tracer ==

This is a fully integrated design that allows you to obtainm bi-directional high-impedance
bitstream E1 traces.  It features an iCE40 FPGA with USB + E1 cores from Sylvain Munaut,
as well as two E1 LIUs.

See https://osmocom.org/projects/e1-t1-adapter/wiki/E1_tracer for more details.
