Bus Pirate Support / Re: Buspirate 3.6 alive?
[quote author="KevinHai"]
We have received some defective boards from some clients, and we have rest of these batch board on our warehouse, they met the same problem. we didn't require all the clients to send the unit back because we are sloving the problem, but we don't want to waste client's time, providing replacement is a better way and service.[/quote]
Hi Kevin,
Have send you another follow up email about the drivers and the BP.
Thank you for the service!

[quote author="Sjaak"][quote author="Samual"]Why is Seeed using counterfeit chips ?[/quote]

I don't think they know they are using them (well at least at production time) and I don't think they did it on purpose to save a few cents/dimes per unit sold.

My guess there went something wrong in the supply chain and they bought a batch of bad (rejects) or counterfeit products. I been a couple of times into shenzhen and it is terrible hard to distinguish between genuine and fake parts (and all the variations in between). The price of the part doesnt always tell the difference. Seeed (and I think most manufacturers) have a selected trusted sources for their parts, but sometimes it slips through.

For me the question is more: Should I ask for a return of the device (counting in the fact that it may cost me as much to return the device as to buy a new one ;-)  and the weeks that past while the litte bugger is traveling by mail) or just move along with this Bus Pirate and the older driver.
Have not asked Seeed yet  (or looked into into it) how they handle the postage.
So far Seeed and you folks here where very helpful!

We have a few machines here..  Most of them have Crunchbang and Windows 8. All default grub to windows.

We use the vista laptop for testing. It has older versions of Firefox, Chrome, opera, safari and Iexplorer on it. That way we wont be surprised if clients with older setups see stuff different.

Not a real fan, just a user..  :-)

Same for windows 7.

It is a crime to get rid of the 2.08.30 drivers and install the 2.08.28 version for the serial port and converter.

But now the Bus Pirate (an me) are happy.. '

Tomorrow I will do the same on the Vista laptop but I guess that will be the same trick.

Hi all,

This problem seems to be related to the latest drivers (2.08.30) at the FTDI website..

I went into Device Manager and removed the Serial port and Serial Converter (I Checked the box to also remove the drivers from the drive). Also some drivers are hidden so you need to click on "view": "show hidden drivers" to make sure you remove all "serial port" and "Serial Converter" drivers.

Then I installed the older version 2.08.28.

Now I got it running on Windows 8.1

Maybe a moderator can change the topic to fixed?

Bus Pirate Support / Re: Bus Pirate v3.6 (apr 2012) Seeed 10/09/13 Almost DOA
Hi there all,

One step further. This morning I booted into Crunchbang (Debian flavour) to see what the BP would do.
To my surprise it worked!

Looked into /dev/ and noticed ttyUSB0

So I tried:
Code: [Select]
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
And there it was.. a working terminal prompt..

Now the question: Why does it work on Cruncbang and not on windows 8.1, windows 7 and windows Vista?
