Bus Blaster laser cut case
Damjan designed a laser cut case for the Bus Blaster. Bus Blaster v2 is an experimental, high-speed JTAG debugger for ARM processors, FPGAs, CPLDs, flash, and more. Here is my Bus Blaster case, built for $7 using Seeed’s Laser Cutting Service. More cool DIY cases here. You can get a Bus Blaster v2 for $34.95. […]
Bus Blaster v2.1a free PCB build
Victor built a free Bus Blaster v2.1a PCB. He soldered it up by using a hot plate, or more accurately a frying pan. This had the undesired effect of producing some hard to debug solder bridges on the tiny resistor network packs. If you build a free PCB we’ll send you another one! Blog about […]
Workshop video #04: Bus Blaster v4 solder and assembly
Today is the second half of the Bus Blaster v4 workshop video. We solder the board, including two big TQFP chips and a bunch of 0603 passives. The Bus Blaster is our inexpensive, open source JTAG debugger based on the FTDI FT2232H USB->serial chip. Bus Blaster v4 adds a support for a new type of […]
Workshop video #03: Bus Blaster JTAG debugger history
In this video Texas Instruments gets the Big Box award, and we discuss the evolution of the Bus Blaster JTAG debugger. The Bus Blaster is our inexpensive, open source JTAG debugger based on the FTDI FT2232H UBS->serial chip. This chip has 2 JTAG interfaces and can program/debug two separate JTAG targets. Bus Blaster v1 used […]
Workshop video #02: Bus Pirate and Bus Blaster
Workshop update on Bus Pirate firmware, Bus Blaster v3, and Bus Blaster v4. A quick look at our new Nasty Clamp camera tripods too. Bus Pirate firmware v6.1 is now available Bus Blaster JTAG debugger CPLD development boards use a bigger version of the CPLD on the Bus Blaster Nasty Clamps You can get Bus […]
Programming the STM32F4 DISCOVERY with the Bus Blaster
Nabil wrote to say, “I’ve had success programming and debugging using the Bus Blaster. In this post I will show you how to program and debug the Discovery board using open source hardware and software.” Via the contact form.
Bus Blaster hack: Flashing a PC BIOS chip
Zougloub modified the Bus Blaster V2 somewhat and successfully flashed a PC BIOS chip. By using the onboard FTDI FT2232H chip in SPI mode, and slightly modifying the CPLD logic, he successfully established a link to the BIOS chip. He was now able to update his BIOS and use a processor with his motherboard that […]
Box of new PCBs
A box of PCBs just arrived from Seeed Studio’s Fusion PCB service. This batch includes: Bus Blaster v2.6 with over voltage protection and series resistors on the JTAG pins Dangerous DSO v1.a with a few minor fixes USB POV Toy v1.a with X/Y/Z axis markers, this will be the production PCB (some day) AlteraMAX3000A CPLD […]
Maker Faire 2011: Hands-on DIY festival
The internet situation pre-Maker Faire Bay Area has been pretty bad. Worse than bad. Today we’re in the conference hotel though, and there’s wired and wireless internet aplenty. If you’re going to Maker Faire please stop by the Seeed Studio booth and say hi, we’re right next to the central Maker stage in the main […]

Don’t forget to share your current project in the comments or the forum. This week our favorite project gets a free SOIC protoboard. Here’s a summary of major developments over the last week: kinsa posted an updated VHDL core for the Logic Sniffer, and wrote a new continuous sampling mode bitstream Check out schazamp’s updates […]
Week in (p)review: January 23, 2011
Lots of progress this week: We released an MCP2200 breakout board, and hacked it to run open source Fun with XC9500Xl and CoolRunner-II CPLDs. The wiki has quick start guides, and two new CPLD breakout board designs The Bus Pirate LCD adapter, MMA7455L 3-axis accelerometer, and MCP2200 USB->serial breakout are all back in stock rasmus […]
Free PCB Sunday: Bus Blaster
We go through a lot of prototype PCBs, and end up with lots of extras that we’ll never use. Every Sunday we give away a few PCBs from one of our past or future projects, or a related prototype. Our PCBs are made through Seeed Studio’s Fusion board service. This is the first version of […]
