@whitequark @kirakira @jneen like say i want a test for the PCIe link layer, do i write a whole PCIe implementation to generate test packets? Distribute hundreds of MB of waveform captures just to enable tests? If it's real captured data rather than synthetic how do i know what the expected decoder output is?

@whitequark @kirakira @jneen i have hundreds of decodes i want to write tests for but for complex protocols rather than "add these inputs" it's... Not easy

@azonenberg @whitequark @kirakira @jneen I've done matlab/octave/python version of the datasheet test vectors put through a channel simulation FIR for stuff in the past. Not perfect but gives you something to test that will at least exercise the filters.
