Open Bench Logic Sniffer / Compiling ols-fwloader on OS X (10.9.1) Mavericks
I'm trying to compile the ols-fwloader found on github (https://github.com/robots/ols-fwloader) on OS X (10.9.1) Mavericks, but am running into some problems.  I hoping someone could explain to me what it that I'm doing wrong.

The output of configure looks like this => https://ghostbin.com/paste/jfash
The output of the make looks like => https://ghostbin.com/paste/957ee

...well I just installed libusb via homebrew and it looks like it compiles, but with 18 warnings :

Bus Pirate Support / How to dump bootloader of router using Bus Pirate?
How would one go about using a Bus Pirate to dump the bootloader of a router?  I recently discovered the UART of the device, and am able to get a root shell, and navigate around the file system, but I would like to dump the bootloader of the device so I could analyze how the Firmware of the device is decrypted / uncompressed.

I made a short little youtube video of the device booting up, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IY1mX3HqXQ

General discussion / Re: Multimeter purchase question
Unfortunately, the auction I won on ebay did not come with the Fluke 62 IR thermometer, so unless I can measure temperature with the 116 I don't think I will be able test this out for you :-/  I do have one of these though, which I use for aiding me in my home brew operations, i.e. beer.

*UPDATE*

Well apparently I don't need the Fluke 62 to measure temperature as this device comes with a velcro strip with what a appears to be a thermistor at the end of it.  It does take a long time for the multimeter to update the temperature, and I haven't compared the results to my Actron yet.

That sounds like a good price as long as it is in decent shape. 
Since it's via Craigslist I assume you will be able to actually handle it before you pay.

I would do a quick function check.  Make sure the volt readings go to zero when you short the leads.  If there is an AC outlet handy check to see if that reading makes sense.  If you have a small battery in your pocket check that too.  Make sure the continuity and ohms meter are working open and shorted. 

Most meters I have seen either work fine or have obvious problems.  Also do a test on the two internal fuses (it's in the manual) and drop your offering price if either is blown.  They are easy to replace but it is a good bargaining point.

You can find all the manuals on Fluke's site if you haven't already found them.

General discussion / Multimeter purchase question
I am in the market for purchasing a multimeter for use with various projects.  I remember using a Fluke multimeters back in the day, but have since heard they are made in China, and are not built as well.  I have heard that some are still built in the United States of America, but mostly the higher range ones, i.e. $300+  I would like to have a multimeter that I can use to test various different things on a motherboard of a computer or various electronics.  I would prefer to purchase one that uses True RMS because it gives a more accurate reading from what I have gathered.  I would also like to be able to use the multimeter with my car to diagnose problems if things decide to quit working in the future.  I am probably going to purchase used via craigslist or ebay so I can save a buck or two.  Does anyone have any recommendations?
