Hi Ian,

it had 4.3 bootloader on board but when I booted it I was unable to upgrade firmware nor bootloader … I then flashed 4.4 bootloader using pickit and uploaded firmware v5 using pirate-loader.exe as ds30\ Loader\ GUI.exe did not want to perform (but it did recognise the bootloader after I flashed the 4.4 in). So – problem solved :) now I’m out to play with it to see what it can do :)

Hi arhi – Has your Bus Pirate been upgraded to the v4 bootloader yet? It might be a good idea to start a topic in the forum.

When I try to “find bootloader” I get:

Searching for bl . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Found dsPIC30F3011 fw ver. 9.9.9
Wrong pic detected(13)/selected(212), aborting

?! (should I flash 4.4 bootloader using pickit?)

Added protection to the jump instruction if the loader app is misconfigured.

New firmware for v2 to v4 updates:

If you’ve already updated, grab the full bootloader firmware and program it with a PICKIT or ICD:

Has been a pleasure to test this new update. My pic programmer is not power hungry, so I didn’t spent so much money for testing :P

Thanks to you!

Bye!

I’m really glad it worked for you. Thank you so much for taking the time to test the upgrade and reporting your results. It saved a ton of grief if I had set this bug loose on people without PIC programmers.

No Ian, don’t worry! I need a very large cup of coffee!
I downloaded your new package, but loaded your previous bootloader (alpha 0.1).
After the coffe break, I repeat all things and I see “alpha 0.2″ that wrote “I’m stupid” on my face.

This time all is working fine.

Thanks!
