Bus Pirate Support / strange issue with BP and flash SPI
Hello, i have an issue with my bus pirate v3B i dont understand really.
With Flashrom i can detect my chip which is a Winbond SPI W25Q16BV. I have dump the whole chip with flashrom. I want to try to do some interact with the bus pirate shell, and i'm not able at all to detect the chip with the ID instruction. This is because i just cant power ON the chip. I'd like to understand what's wrong. Here is the log:

VREG too low, is there a short?
POWER SUPPLIES OFF
I did a selftest, and it's ok 0 error.
I tried multiple times and it's always the same. Also i just dont understand why i have 1v on the 3.3v when i just select the SPI mode without powering it? And i cant power it because it detects a short?
With the same exact config with flashrom, i have this result:
Code: [Select]
c:>flashrom.exe -V -p buspirate_spi:dev=COM10

I've tried to measure the voltage during the dump with flashrom and i have constant 3.3v on the bus pirate 3.3v pin.

USB Infrared Toy / stuck firmware when irtoy.exe process is stopped by ctrl+C
Hello there,
I've experienced an issue that is quite anoying with my usb Ir Toy v2 running firmware 2.2 and irtoy.exe v2.1
(IR TOY Recorder/Player utility v21 (CC-0)):

It seems that if we interrupt a play operation (and maybe other command) using ctrl+C under itoy.exe process, it lets the firmware into a bad state which prevent it to work until unplug/replug the ir toy.
Afterwards, If we try some command onto the com port it will say this:
Code: [Select]
 IR TOY Recorder/Player utility v21 (CC-0)
 http://dangerousprototypes.com

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Opening IR Toy on COM14 at 115200bps...
 Cannot Read Firmware Version.

 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Found Garbage data when reading the firmware version..
 Please re-start this utility again
 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sample command that a ctrl+C prevent future work for me:
irtoy.exe -d COM14 -v -p -f helico_ir
Ctrl+C
...now it's not working until physical unplug/replug.
I've experienced this issue quite often. I talk about the case we cannot open the com port anymore for some reason and it force me to unplug/replug to reload the firmware.
1)Is this a desired/featured behavior?
2)What is the recommended (most stable) firmware at the moment v2.1 or v2.2?

Bonus questions:
3)Is this normal that if i capture 2x or 3x the same key press (dvb-t pinnacle remote controller), i wont have the exact same hex dump file? (same length but not same bytes) I'm talking about same button pressure (small press).
4)Is there a wireshark-like tool that can be used to identify/decode protocol/analyze raw IR dumps?

Thank you,

Bus Pirate Support / Last firmware or not, question about modes
Hi there, i recently  bought a BusPirate V3b (JAN 2010) and i already have one question about it:
Here is the output of the i command:

Code: [Select]
HiZ>i
Bus Pirate v3b
Firmware v5.10 (r559)  Bootloader v4.4
DEVID:0x0447 REVID:0x3043 (24FJ64GA002 B5)
http://dangerousprototypes.com
I've seen on the web that normally there is a "keyboard" mode but i could not find it using the m command:
Code: [Select]
HiZ>m
1. HiZ
2. 1-WIRE
3. UART
4. I2C
5. SPI
6. 2WIRE
7. 3WIRE
8. LCD
9. DIO
x. exit(without change)

(1)>no mode change
HiZ>
I'm not sure i have the last firmware, i have the 5.10, and based upon this page, http://http://code.google.com/p/the-bus-pirate/downloads/list it's the last.
I guess normally i should see these modes:
Code: [Select]
M Set bus mode (1-Wire, SPI, I2C, JTAG, UART, etc)

HiZ> m
1. HiZ
2. 1-WIRE
3. UART
4. I2C
5. SPI
6. 2WIRE
7. 3WIRE
8. KEYB
9. LCD
x. exit(without change)
So can you explain please what's wrong with my BP?
Thanks, and sorry if i make mistakes, i'm a total newb with this kind of device.
