Introduction

At the moment, this software kit consists of following:

Text-based utilities, serving as frontend for plug-in modules
- MEAS: Measuring utility, loading CharDevice, Oscilloscope and Measurement scenario plug-ins
- PREP: Pre-processing utility, loading a BlockProcess or TracesProcess plug-in
- STAN: Statistical analysis utility, loading a CpaEngine or TTestEngine plug-in
- CORREV: Correlation matrix evaluation utility, loading CpaCorrEval and CpaKeyEval plug-ins
- VISU: Visualisation utility, generating plots from either power traces, correlation traces or t-values
Set of plug-ins, see Section Modules

Currently supported platforms are Linux and Windows.

See User's guide for more information about the utilities.

Some plug-in modules (e.g. Oscilloscope) may require third-party software (i.e. drivers, SDKs) to compile and/or function properly. This software may be proprietary and/or not in compliance with SICAK licence and therefore is not distributed alongside this toolkit.

Building

Dependencies

C++ Standard Library
Qt5 framework is a dependency, namely Qt5Core, Qt5Widgets, Qt5Gui, Qt5Charts, Qt5Svg; and qmake for build
Some modules, e.g. Oscilloscope plug-ins, may require third-party software to compile/link/run properly (e.g. VISA library, PicoScope SDK,...)
Some modules, e.g. CpaEngine plug-ins, may require third-party software to compile/link/run properly (i.e. OpenCL implementation)

=> before build, see config.pri file and set paths to the third party software to allow compilation of plug-in modules that depend on it

Build

The project takes advantage of the qmake build system, provided by the Qt framework.

Linux

To build project on Linux, simply run

$ qmake && make

To move all the utilities and plug-ins into appropriate directory structure, run

$ make install

and check the INSTALL directory.

If you wish to deploy the application, check the Qt manual: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linux-deployment.html

Windows (MSVC)

On Windows, use Qt developer console, e.g. Qt 5.11.2 64-bit for Desktop (MSVC 2017):

Run the Qt developer console
Run the MSVC configuration script (vsvarsall.bat)
Navigate to the project's root directory, i.e. directory which contains sicak.pro file
Run following commands
qmake
nmake

To move all the utilities and plug-ins into appropriate directory structure, run

nmake install

and check the INSTALL directory

If you wish to deploy the application, check the windeployqt utility and Qt manual: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-deployment.html
