I really got a kick out of your article. I don’t really have a lot to say in response, I only wanted to comment to reply with wonderful function. great luck in 2010.

Si vuelve a salir a la venta me encantaria adquirir un Bus Pirate, las dos preorders me pillaron de vacaciones, cest la vie.
Saludos y gracias por vuestro trabajo.

Ditto. I went on the 4th as well but missed out. What’s next – will this be generally available?

Hey,

I would like to order one (or more) of these in the future. But when would more of them be available? This being a “Pre”-order is there gonna be a steady supply of them thereafter or is this more like a once off deal?

@jin – No, I haven’t programmed a FGPA with the XSVF programmer. There’s an app note from Xilinx that describes some delays that might need to be increased for different chips. The datasheet is linked in the Bus Pirate JTAG article.

Are you able to reset and communicate with the JTAG interface using basic commands and the helper macros (type ‘(0)’ for a menu of macros)?

Oh!! I have some problem about FPGA.
Have you programed the FPGA or not?

I port your code to PIC32MX440F256H and I can program XSVF file to CPLD but I can’t program to FPGA.

Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks in advance
Jin

@chris - The latest firmware is v0g. v0h is under development, but you can download our nightly compiles. Nightly compiles usually don't have major bugs (but might!), though they lack the extensive functionality testing that goes into a final release. The I2C sniffer in v0h is still a work in progress. The Bus Pirate is primarily designed to talk to chips, so the bus sniffer will never be as useful as a true logic analyzer for reverse engineering. @spyguy99 - I'm sure you could add an AVR programmer, but it's not on our feature roadmap.

Would it be possible to use the Bus Pirate as a AVR programmer, say for like an attiny85?

i bought one to supplement my breadboard model so i can have a portable version. i’m hoping to use it with my nokia n810.

Am I being stupid or is the latest firmware v0h? On the seedstudio it says they will be shipped with the latest firmware v0g…. v0h has the crucial I2C sniffer function that I bought the device for, though I guess I can always upgrade….

I was waiting for the v2go. It has come, and so have I.

Thanks for the opportunity to get the kit!
