Bus Pirate Support / Re: Reviving a Bus Pirate 3.6
More or less fixed it myself with help from the FAQ.

Managed to get a pirate-loader to upload a more recent firmware, and although it says failed, I now have a prompt on terminal mode.

Thanks for the great FAQ!

Still wondering what the different optX versions are, but maybe more RTFM will help here too.

Greetings,

Fred Jan

Bus Pirate Support / Reviving a Bus Pirate 3.6
Hi,

Just today I connected my Bus Pirate (3.6)  again after a long time, and after figuring out how it should work, had to conclude it doesn't. I bought it in 2014 and it worked then. Now it doesn't respond to terminal input (no response and USB LED doesn't blink). I also tested this with a FT232R Breakout board and it does respond with blinking. So the USB-serial is working.

The only time the Bus Pirate responds is when I put it in programming mode (connect PGC and PGD, which lights the MODE-LED). It responds with "BL4+" and an USB LED blink for every key stroke. So I conclude it is not completely dead, maybe just in some non-communitative mode.

Might re-programming work? Is BL4+ the normal bootloader response?

Thanks in advance,

Fred Jan
