Firmware v4.5 for the Bus Pirate can be downloaded here. Changes include:
- New binary rawwire command for PIC programmer (Logic Sniffer rescue)
- OpenOCD support (may have been missing from v4.2)
- Fix to terminal input parser accepting out-of-range characters bug
- Other minor fixes
This will be the last v4 release. The next release will be v5.0 with Sjaak’s newterm overhaul.
We prepared this interim release because v5 isn’t quite done, but the Bus Pirate PIC programmer needs the rawwire extension to reprogram Logic Sniffers that shipped without a bootloader. The Bus Pirate PIC programmer application is working in limited testing, and should be ready for release in a day or two.
Read about the firmware update process for the ds30 Loader GUI (Windows/Linux) and pirate-loader console app (Windows/Linux/Mac).
This firmware requires the v4+ bootloader, be sure you upgrade to the v4 bootloader first if you still have bootloader v2.
Package includes firmware for Bus Pirate v3 and v1a. Use the v3 firmware for v2go Bus Pirates. v0a and v2a are no longer supported, but there’s an end-of-life v3 release somewhere here.
