Changes from 7.0 to 7.1:

Bus Pirate v3 specific changes:

  • The source tree can now be rebuilt for Bus Pirate v3 using MPLAB X.
  • PC-AT keyboard mode is available for Bus Pirate v3 once more. (#19)
  • PIC mode is available for Bus Pirate v3 once more. (#19)
  • Firmware demos have been migrated to MPLAB X.
  • Bootloader v4.5 has been migrated to MPLAB X.
  • Experimental support for hardware I2C has been added. (#39)

Bus Pirate v4 specific changes:

  • Bootloader v1 has been migrated to MPLAB X.
  • USB I/O now works when building the firmware using higher optimisation levels, working around a bug in the USB stack. (#11, #56)
  • OpenOCD JTAG support got an initial implementation (#28, #103, #104, #105).
  • Modules that require an additional hardware board (LCD, SMPS) are no longer built in by default.

Changes applicable to both hardware versions:

  • "pirate-loader" now needs to be built with CMake, to allow building on modern OSX and Windows versions.
  • SUMP support is now an optional feature.
  • SMPS support is now an optional feature.
  • Modules configuration has been centralised into Firmware/configuration.h, allowing for more flexibility when creating custom images.
  • Assigning a state to the AUX pin via BASIC scripts now works properly.
  • Extra bus speeds are now available for SPI mode. (#25)
  • Raw 2-wire mode now correctly honours LSB/MSB endianness settings. (#17)
  • General refactoring and code cleanups have reduced both memory and code footprint when building without optimisations enabled.
  • Firmware code sections do not overlap each other anymore. (#10)
  • Delays are more accurate. (#23)
  • 1-Wire now supports Overdrive mode. (#40)
  • SPI macros to interactively tweak SPI parameters are now documented.

Other:

  • The message generation program has been turned into a Python script, to increase portability.
  • Unused strings are stripped away by the linker whenever possible. (#60)
  • Support for Bus Pirate v1A has been removed. (#6)
  • Support for Bus Pirate v2, v2.5, and v2go is not going to be built in by default. (#6)
  • Hardware schematics have been migrated to their own repo at https://github.com/BusPirate/hardware (#14)
  • Documentation from Dangerous Prototypes' wiki has been converted into Markdown format and placed in the source repository. (#27)
  • Firmware will now build by default with Optimisation level 1, this allows to fit more protocols on v3 boards in the default configuration.
  • MPLAB-X 5.00 or a later version is now required to rebuild the firmware, along with XC16 version 1.35 or later.
