  • Using the Bus Pirate to program a Pro Mini

    02/24/2019 at 04:14 • 0 comments

    I had ordered a few Pro Mini knockoff boards (based on SparkFun's Pro Mini) and found that I didn't have an actual Arduino programmer around; I had been using an Arduino Nano and a DigiSpark, both of which are programmable via their built-in USB ports. I did, however, have a Bus Pirate! (and Linux, so the Avrdude Command and Udev Rule sections may not be that useful elsewhere)

    Connections

    Pro Mini  |  Bus Pirate
    ----------+------------
         GND  |  GND
         VCC  |  +5V
         RST  |  CS
     MOSI 11  |  MOSI
     MISO 12  |  MISO
      SCK 13  |  CLK

    Udev Rule

    # Bus pirate v3
    SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", GROUP="users", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="buspirate"
    # Bus pirate v4
    SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04d8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="fb00", GROUP="users", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="buspirate"

    Avrdude Command

    avrdude -v -c buspirate -P /dev/buspirate -p m168p -Uflash:w:/path/to/file.hex:i
    

    Note: If you do this through the Arduino IDE, it disables auto erase for flash memory (adding -D to the command line) which causes the write to fail, at least on my device. Removing that flag fixed the issue.


    There may be some other missing pieces here, but this should hopefully be enough for me to pick this up again in the future. Now, on to using my Bus Pirate to fix the programming on my new Pro Micro! (since I accidentally flashed a hex file that was compiled for the wrong chip)

Thanks for liking and following my #yet another dactyl build project! She's still borked, but I'll get her going one of these days.

Thanks for liking my #LiFePO4wered/Pi project!  It's since been superseded by my #LiFePO4wered/Pi+ project so you might want to follow that one as well!
