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
