Buspirate v3.6 firmware upgrade from USB
Buspirate:
The Bus Pirate v3.6a, created by Ian Lesnet, is a troubleshooting tool that communicates between a PC and any embedded device over 1-wire, 2-wire, 3-wire, UART, I2C, SPI, and HD44780 LCD protocols - all at voltages from 0-5.5VDC. This product eliminates a ton of early prototyping effort when working with new or unknown chips.
Upgrading Firmware:
buspirate will not come with new firmware so it has to be change by us.
buspirate v4 : Supports firmware version 7
buspirate v3.x: Supports firmware version 6&7 (note : firmware version 7 may hurt the device hardware not fully tested from my side doit in your won risk)
