Bus Pirate v4 and Pickit2 (bootloader and firmware updates)

== Get a Pickit 2 ==
'''''This link is not pointing to a particular seller, so it shouldn't be considered as advertising from my side. This link just gives a list of sources - examples of where you could find this tool'''''

If you don't have a Pickit 2 you could get it with free shipping included just for $7.98 - $10.15 (bigger price with ZIF socket) - https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?minPrice=7&maxPrice=&isBigSale=n&isFreeShip=y&isFavorite=n&isRtl=n&isLocalReturn=n&isMobileExclusive=n&shipFromCountry=&shipCompanies=&SearchText=pickit+2&CatId=0&g=y

It costs just a fraction of Bus Pirate v4 price and makes the firmware updates much more convenient
(+ you could install and re-install the bootloaders without any risk of bricking, can always recover)

== Get the necessary .hex files ==

There are two ways of getting the firmware/bootloader .hex files:
* '''1)''' [http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Bus_Pirate#Download '''you download them (updated - 18th September 2016)''']
* '''2)''' [http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Compile_the_Bus_Pirate_firmware '''you compile them from the source code by yourself''']
