Summary
Here the upgrade process for the Bus Pirate v3.6 will be showcased.
This will use the tutorial provided by the manufacture and the github repository
Description
The Bus Pirate is an open source hacker multi-tool that talks to electronic stuff. It's got a bunch of features an intrepid hacker might need to prototype their next project. The Bus Pirate is used through a simple terminal interface.
Protocols
- 1-Wire
- I2C
- SPI
- JTAG
- Asynchronous serial
- MIDI
- PC keyboard
- HD44780 LCD
- 2- and 3-wire libraries with bitwise pin control
- Scriptable binary bitbang, 1-Wire, I2C, SPI, and UART modes.
Application Support
- AVRDude AVR programmer (AVRDude v5.8+, firmware v4 (any) or v5.9+)
- OpenOCD JTAG debugger
- flashrom bios/flash programmer
Windows
comming soon..
Linux
For some strange reason the flash-firmware tool (called pirate-loader) did not work for me. This is why I recommend using Windows to install a new Firmware.
Communicate with the Bus Pirate
- Install minicom serial reader/writer
sudo apt install minicom
- Connect BusPirate to the computer
- Check on what port the Bus Pirate connected to:
dmesg | tail
j@laptop:~$ dmesg | tail [ 760.610683] ftdi_sio 1-1.2:1.0: device disconnected [ 765.780110] usb 1-1.2: new full-speed USB device number 7 using xhci_hcd [ 765.887218] usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=0403, idProduct=6001 [ 765.887224] usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 765.887227] usb 1-1.2: Product: FT232R USB UART [ 765.887230] usb 1-1.2: Manufacturer: FTDI [ 765.887233] usb 1-1.2: SerialNumber: A907NRH0 [ 765.890644] ftdi_sio 1-1.2:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected [ 765.890768] usb 1-1.2: Detected FT232RL [ 765.891161] usb 1-1.2: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0
- Configure minicom
minicom -s
- select
Serial port setup
- set to following parameters:
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | A - Serial Device : /dev/ttyUSB0 | | B - Lockfile Location : /var/lock | | C - Callin Program : | | D - Callout Program : | | E - Bps/Par/Bits : 115200 8N1 | | F - Hardware Flow Control : No | | G - Software Flow Control : No | | | | Change which setting? | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
- Then
Save setup as dfl
- Connect to Bus Pirate
sudo minicom
- Press Enter and following should be displayed:

Hardware v3b and v3.5 shipped with bootloader v4+, continue below
Hardware v3a and v2go shipped with bootloader v2, please see the upgrade guide
For all commands visit the manufactures website
Update Firmware
Build the [source code yourself]
or use a precompiled binary of the firmware (easier)
- Download firmware v7 for Bus Pirate v3.6
sudo apt install subversion
svn export https://github.com/mikebdp2/Bus_Pirate/trunk/package_latest/BPv3 buspirate
To flash the new firmware you need the ds30-pirate-loader tool
For some reason the binary pirate-loader_lnx did not work for me
Used Hardware
