For the moment you have to build it yourself if you want one. I know that Esden on 1Bitsquared is working on productivizing it, but it's still a work in progress.
I actually bought all the stuff I need to build one, but I just didn't get the time to assemble it. And I'm a bit scared of the BGA package that is used o the Lattice FPGA.
(sidenote for those not familiar with crowdsupply: it is a crowdfunding platform, but specialized in electronics hardware and a lot stricter in vetting projects than Kickstarter)
I asked whitequark about the name; it's named Glasgow because it's where the headquarters of FTDI are based, and the initial prototypes were intended to be an open-source serial adapter gateware before feature creep set in.
I have a very basic version of something like this called a Bus Pirate, based off of a PIC. Unfortunately the Bus Pirate is more or less a dead project. I also have a Saleae logic analyzer which is a fantastic tool, but only reads data.
The Glasgow is a huge upgrade to the Bus Pirate! Most of the time I don't really need too much capability when experimenting with a new sensor or peripheral but I am sure the Glasgow will come in handy in development.
This seems super cool! I participated in a USB sniffer kickstarter some years ago called the open vizsla which had problems and was eventually mostly delivered.
This project seems like that on steroids. Kind of like a fancy digital scope without the scope but with all the cool protocol decoding.
My understanding Open Viszla kind of died when Bushing died. I think he was the brain behind it. But some people involved in Open Viszla were involved here as well. Marcan was involved in the hw side form what I know.
The title on HN at this time is "Glasgow: Scots Army Knife for Electronics".
Is this suppose to be Swiss Army Knife? Or is there some kind of thing where they wanted to call it Glasgow and so then had to invent a new corruption on the Swiss army knife analogy to make it Scottish?
Wenger and Victorinox have a sweet racket on army knives. The one the army buys for each recruit doesn't have a corkscrew, so they know they'll always sell a second one (bought with private funds) which does.
In the days before silverware was part of a table place setting, "alternation" of males and females at a meal wasn't just polite, but ensured no one was too far away from a knife.
