I want to use my bus pirate as a STK500. The current bus pirate firmware is too slow to use for ISP programming cause I want to run a bunch of tests. I went to download the alternate firmware and it is marked as deprecated . What's up with that ? I did see where some patches have been submitted to increase the speed, but I didnt want to go through patching avrdude, BP firmware, compile, etc. Can I use this alternate firmware with my Bus pirate ? Thanks Randy Perkins

note I was able to download the alternate firmware and it includes 3 pre-compiled files -rw-rw-r-- 1 rperkins rperkins 76552 2012-04-24 01:26 AVR-STK500-v2-clone-v0a.zip -rw-rw-r-- 1 rperkins rperkins 247740 2009-11-21 17:02 v1a-STK500v2-v0a.hex -rw-rw-r-- 1 rperkins rperkins 247740 2009-11-21 17:01 v25-STK500v2-v0a.hex -rw-rw-r-- 1 rperkins rperkins 247740 2009-11-21 17:01 v3-STK500v2-v0a.hex
Hello I had properly got my Logic Sniffer updated and had tested it. However I was working on giving back a couple issues I had found with the ols-upgrader.sh and was running it over and over, sometimes stopping it with CTRL-C. Well now when I plug in the USB to the computer nothing comes up when I type lsusb or dmesg or tail -f var log syslog
I'm thinking the boot firmware in the pic needs reloaded ? I dont have a bus pirate but I have an Arduino uno and a USBASP programmer. I was gonna ask if I can program the pic in the logic sniffer with one of those, but after looking around , I dont think so. I also have a kit that is a pic programmer. It was on a site with a price of 0.00 that I ordered a power supply from. The description is KIT 119 SERIAL PIC PROGRAMMER 8,18,28, On the kit it says P16pro 8 or 18 pin pic programmer. Oh wait it looks like you have to remove the pic from a DIP to program it . I doubt that will work either. the kit was made by kits r us dot youknowwhat. Looks like the main man passed away . Sorry to hear that. This thing is parallel port. I do have a parrallel to usb adapter that works in linux.
Well if you can point me in the right direction it would be great. I waited 3 weeks for my sniffer and was having lots of fun. Not sure if I messed it up testing out my script, but it quit soon after that.
thanks, rperkins
ps. man this spam filter is tough. but I understand
Hello I just got my Logic Sniffer and had some problems with the RLE. I am only using one channel of serial data. The RLE would work if I turned on all 4 groups of channels. I had read a post about a similar issue so I tried to find out what version of firmware was on the FPGA. All I could come up with was that I needed to terminal into the device and send a hex command. Another post said to just update it. So that is what I did.
I am running Ubuntu Linux 11.10 on a 64 bit processor and downloaded ols-0308-expert.tgz . Tried to put complete path to download but the forum says ' I am to spammy for a newcomer ' :)
Was attempting to use the file ols-upgrader.sh from to upgrade my unit. Had 2 issues in the script. Had 2 user errors. This patch fixed them. Well at least until I was running the script over and over to test out this patch . see next post :(
