Bus Pirate Development / Re: Bus Pirate - Community Firmware 7.0
I tried to update because the LCD functionality wasn't working for me and found A) that the '$' into bootmode didn't work so I added the jumper over the 2 pins and was then able to drag and drop but this was the message I got...

C:\_BusPirate\TempUD>rem Drag and drop Bus Pirate firmware to this batch file

Press any key to continue . . .

[EDIT] I managed to apply this upgrade to my BP 3.8 but that's at Bootloader 4.4. Is this an issue and how do I upgrade if necessary. Also I obviously need to do something different for BP 4.0

Bus Pirate Development / Re: Bus Pirate - Community Firmware 7.0
Hi guys,

I've got a Bus Pirate V4.0 that reports the following:

Bus Pirate v4
Firmware v6.1 r1676
DEVID:0x1019 REVID:0x0004 (24FJ256GB106 UNK)

I have access to the various .hex files and an ICD3 (I sometimes work in the MPLABX IDE).

I'm keen to have the latest firmware on my BP 4.0 but I don't care about BASIC, I really just need all the other FUNctionality.

Can I just use MPLABX IPE to program the .hex file or is it preferred to drag and drop the hex onto DragDropUpdate.bat?

What's the latest, stable, safe firmware given my requirements?

Thanks in advance :D

MikeB, thanks so much for the detailed response.  I'm getting ready for a trip that will take me away until late Monday night so I won't get to try this out until next week but I will report back and contribute on my progress. Cheers :D

Bus Pirate Development / Re: Bus Pirate - Community Firmware 7.0
Hi, I have a BP3.8 and a BP4.0, I'm very happy to see that you guys are coming up with updates.  I'd like to get my BPs up to the latest software so can someone please point me to the steps to follow, I'm trying to read the instructions but I end up going round in circles.  I downloaded the .hex files and I do own an ICD3 (and other PIC programmers), what do I do now?  Thanks.

[Edit] I followed this link to github https://github.com/BusPirate/Bus_Pirate and then I open the package folder, I see there are BP3, BP4 and bootloader folders but it all looks old, is this the right place for BP3?

For BP4 I went to https://github.com/BusPirate/Bus_Pirate ... s/tag/v7.0 and see that there's a bp4.0-fw-7.0.hex file there.  Can I take this .hex file and load it using the ICSP and Microchip's Intergrated Programming Environment (IPE) tool or do I need the bootloader?

Bus Blaster JTAG debugger / Re: Getting Bus Blaster V3c Working
OK, I got it working.  For others following in my steps here's the check list.  Remember my system is Windows 7-64 bit and I'm trying to make Bus Blaster V3c work with urJTAG.

1. Download urJTAG vn 0.10
2. Download BusblasterV3.zip download/file.php?id=7756
3. Install urJTAG into default Program Files(x86) directory
4. Find file jtag-rev11.exe in zip file and copy it into the same directory that jtag.exe is in (as per step 3)
5. Use file explorer to fing jtag-rev11.exe, right click and chose 'run as administrator' - a command prompt should open with the JTAG start up messages.
6. At jtag> prompt, type 'cable jtagkey interface=0' - you should get a message about FT2232xx cable being used
7. With target connected, type 'detect' at jtag> prompt

FYI, I had problems trying to read blacfin devices using this version of urJTAG but the Bus Blaster seemed to work OK.

As a suggestion, it would help if there were lists of known working setups linked to all Bus Blaster device pages, the V3 seems particularly confusing from this perspective.

Thanks for the help

Bus Blaster JTAG debugger / Getting Bus Blaster V3c Working
OS Windows 7 - 64 bit
Files being used are in BusBlasterv3.zip from viewtopic.php?f=37&t=3993
I have the power jumper in place but no target connected yet.

I struggled trying to use a downloaded version of urJTAG and then I discovered the modified one that's in the above zip file jtag-rev11.exe.

My problem appears to be that the bsdl file is not recognized. Here's what I can do....

I'm running the jtag-rev11.exe file as Admin from c:Tempurjtag and I've tried putting the xc2c32a_vq44.bsd into a sub directory and right now it's in the same directory.  I've also tried...

Code: [Select]
jtag> bsdl path c:tempurjtag
with the file in the right directory but I always get the same as the code snippet above.

Any ideas?
