It looks like some people are having problems with the ds30 Loader GUI for the Bus Pirate v4 bootloader on Linux or Mac with Mono, and many would prefer not to install Mono at all.

pppd cooked up a simple console application (updated version here) for the v4 bootloader in Linux and MacOSX (and Windows). Follow the link for instructions, source, and precompiled binaries.

If you test the console app, please let us know how it goes. After some testing we’ll package it with the normal firmware archive downloads.

Thanks for the tip!
