Baud (final Prototype) Mac OS

From DP

The monochrome LCD screen displayed 336 x 240 pixels. A 9600 baud fax modem was optional. Software patches updated the OS from version 1.0 to 1.0.5. A new ROM upgrade with Newton OS 1.1 became available on October 30, 1993 that could be installed by an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The final patch was version 1.1.1. In short, no matter whether you are trying to build a wireframe, mockup or prototype project, Mockplus could be a nice choice. Pencil project is a simple and open-source GUI prototyping tool for Mac UX/UI designers to create mockups. This Mac 512K Blog article is the most in-depth technical investigation of a prototype Twiggy Mac that has ever been published online. The Story of this Twiggy Mac OldMacGuy recounted a story that was similar to that of the Twiggy Mac that was widely publicized in 2013: it had been found in storage after its original owner died. On OS X 10.2, for example, it's fairly straightforward to open a serial line in /etc/ttys But newer versions of Mac OS X don't use that file the same way. I found that the instructions on this page, Serial console login on OS X, worked for me on Mac OS X 10.5.8. In the Terminal application, type.

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. This manual is an effort to link all available Bus Pirate information in one place.

• Read about the Bus Pirate v3 design; the v3b update; and the v3.5 update.

An initial batch of Bus Pirate v4 is now available to early adopters and testers. We think v3.x is still the best choice for most people, but v4 is the way of the future.

kallisti5 has started a Bus Pirate community firmware project: to include the important fixes and clean-ups, committed by several prominent community members, and to continue its' future development.

Although the primary target of community is to significantly improve the user experience for Bus Pirate v4, the Bus Pirate v3 support will be maintained at all costs (despite the difficulties while compiling with the recent MPLAB XC16 compilers)

Source code and build instructions:

Latest builds of Bus Pirate community project (updated - 18th September 2016)

Contains:

• 1) BPv3 - different optimization firmware builds only (you could read why - at the bottom of this thread - https://github.com/BusPirate/Bus_Pirate/issues/7 )
• 2) BPv4 - three directories:

• 3) SHA1_checksums.txt inside each directory

About the optimization levels:

Even on level 3 my BPv4 passes a self test successfully, no errors. So you could try a stronger optimization first, and then - if it is causing you some issues - you tell us about them on Github and meanwhile could use a lighter optimization version (such as level 0 or 1)

Special builds of BPv3 firmware - extra features enabled!

Your feedback and patches are welcome! Here:

Old legacy stuff:

However, if for some reason you would like to install the official v6.1 firmware (almost 5 years old!), we wouldn't stop you. Here is a link to its' package:

Alternatively, you could get the sources for slightly newer (but still old) official v6.3 firmware:

but please note that you will need to compile it by yourself (cannot find a compiled hex file for it)

Reference

User terminal mode

The Bus Pirate is accessed from a command line in a serial terminal. The Bus Pirate always starts in high impedance mode (Hi-Z), a safe mode with all outputs disabled. It's intended to protect any connected devices from conditions beyond their specifications. From there, a bus mode can be selected to use the Bus Pirate with a specific protocol.

• Bus modes (main firmware): 1-Wire, UART, I2C, SPI, raw 2-wire, raw 3-wire, HD44780 LCDs, MIDI
• Bus modes (bonus firmware, v5.9+): PC keyboard, DIO, JTAG

Binary scripting mode

The Bus Pirate has a binary access mode that can be used with software or scripts. There's example scripts in C, Python, Perl, and more in the GitHub repository.

Binmode protocol pages: bitbang, SPI, I2C, UART, 1-Wire, and raw-wire.

JTAG

The Bus Pirate is a slow serial port device intended for human-speed interaction. It was NEVER intended to do JTAG duties. Because it's open source, cheap, and versatile, the community hacked various JTAG features into it. They're great in a pinch, but no substitute for the real thing!

The Bus Pirate supports JTAG in three ways: with the OpenOCD debug application, as an XSVF player, and through a user-mode terminal interface.

JTAG and OpenOCD

The Bus Pirate is supported as a JTAG programmer/debugger by OpenOCD. If your target is supported by OpenOCD it may work. Slowly :) You will need to use a Bus Pirate firmware version which supports the binary JTAG protocol — not all do.

Note that the above is about binary JTAG / OpenOCD support. JTAG terminal mode is not enabled in any of the above firmwares (not even 5.9-extras, even though it was advertised to be enabled in there at some point).

FPGA and CPLD programming

Fi Shu Mi Gun (MC/TM) (Lite Edition) Mac OS. As a stand-alone XSVF player to program CPLDs/FPGAs. This requires a simple firmware swap.

JTAG terminal mode

The -extras firmware has a the old user terminal JTAG mode from the Hack a Day demo. This was removed from the main firmware because nobody used it - it isn't particularly useful to enter JTAG commands manually. (OpenOCD uses the binary JTAG mode, which is different from the user terminal JTAG mode.)

AVR programming

The Bus Pirate can be used to program Atmel AVR microcontrollers. AVRDUDE version 5.8 and later support the Bus Pirate as a programmer directly. AVRDude is the most common software for programming AVR microcontrollers. Many packages such as WinAVR and the Arduino IDE bundle a version of AVRDude.

There is also an alternate firmware that can be installed on to Bus Pirate to make it an STK500 v2 AVR programmer clone.
