Get a Pickit 2
This link is not pointing to a particular seller, so it shouldn't be considered as advertising from my side. This link just gives a list of sources - examples of where you could find this tool
If you don't have a Pickit 2 you could get it with free shipping included just for $7.98 - $10.15 (bigger price with ZIF socket) - https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?minPrice=7&maxPrice=&isBigSale=n&isFreeShip=y&isFavorite=n&isRtl=n&isLocalReturn=n&isMobileExclusive=n&shipFromCountry=&shipCompanies=&SearchText=pickit+2&CatId=0&g=y
It costs just a fraction of Bus Pirate v4 price and makes the firmware updates much more convenient(+ you could install and re-install the bootloaders without any risk of bricking, can always recover)
Obtain the necessary .hex files
There are two ways of getting the firmware/bootloader .hex files:
Java 1.7 Runtime 32 Bit free download - Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (64-Bit), Bit Che, Adobe Captivate (32-bit), and many more programs. Java 1.7 0 25 download 32 bit. Support for SPARC M7, SPARC T7, SPARC S7, SPARC M8 and SPARC T8 requires JDK 1.7.085 build 33 or higher. On 64-bit operating systems (OSs), both 32- and 64-bit Java virtual machines (JVMs) are certified, except where noted. Download Java Runtime Environment 32-bit 8-build-251 for Windows. Fast downloads of the latest free software! Download Java Runtime Environment 1.7.0.25 (32-bit) for PC from FileHorse. 100% Safe and Secure Free Download 32-bit Software Version. Java SE 7 Archive Downloads. Go to the Oracle Java Archive page. Thank you for downloading this release of the Java TM Platform, Standard Edition Development Kit (JDK TM).The JDK is a development environment for building applications, applets, and components using the Java programming language.
- 1)you download them (updated - 18th September 2016)
- 2)you compile them from the source code by yourself
If you are downloading, it is important to check the file checksums! For example:
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 1)
Prepare the .hex file flashing software
pk2cmd
If you are on Linux (or Mac):
If you are on Windows:
Then you open .sln project file in Visual Studio and build it
MPLAB X IPE
Alternatively you could use MPLAB X IPE tool. It comes together with MPLAB X and is cross-platform, however it is closed source - and pk2cmd alternative is more lightweight than IPE.
Firmware and Bootloader upgrade plan
Pickit 2 Software Download
Here is a plan of what we are going to do:
Please note: disconnect a Bus Pirate from USB power before connecting a debugger to ICSP header, because if they are both connected at the same time this could cause overvoltage (5V + 3.3V)(I will remove this warning if it is not true)
Connect a Pickit 2 to ICSP of Bus Pirate
If you have ordered a Bus Pirate from SeeedStudio (instead of making it by yourself) most likely its' ICSP header is not soldered - no pins, only 5 holes!
You have two options:
- 1) Solder 5 pins - unacceptable for the people with unreliable soldering skills!
- 2) Use the following trick:
Connect this cable correctly: MCLR pins of debugger and BPv4 should match!
Erasing and flashing of PIC24FJ256GB106
It is quite obvious how to do this under MPLAB X IPE, so I will provide the instructions for pk2cmd under Linux.
Go to a directory with pk2cmd executable and get the root rights (for convenience) :

Erasing and flashing of PIC24FJ256GB106
It is quite obvious how to do this under MPLAB X IPE, so I will provide the instructions for pk2cmd under Linux.
Go to a directory with pk2cmd executable and get the root rights (for convenience) :
Launch pk2cmd command below to erase the whole internal memory:
Why erasing is important?
Now you have 3 possible ways of upgrading:
flash only a bootloader
Then you install a firmware in a standard way: pirate-loader.
However, this method is really time consuming: you need to re-connect stuff, short PGC-PGD pins with a small piece of metal wire (or a jumper if you soldered the ICSP pins), and possibly encounter the errors! With external programmer you do it with just 1 try and always successfully!
flash both bootloader and firmware (separate .hex files)
Note:FIRMWARE.hex will not overwrite a BOOTLOADER.hex. To understand why, please look at the description of .hex file which is Microchip INHX32 format:
- https://www.kanda.com/blog/microcontrollers/pic-microcontrollers/pic-hex-file-format/ .
flash both bootloader and firmware (combined .hex file)
You can always make a full backup of PPIC24FJ256GB106 internal memory:
If this backup contains both bootloader and firmware, you could call it a 'combined' hex file. It is convenient to install a bootloader and firmware of the same optimization, and then instantly make a complete backup of PIC24FJ256GB106 internal program memory (it is 256 KB, but because of hex file structure these 256 KB turn into 963,2 KB). I have made my own combined builds in this way.

Although such builds could take more time to install, they are convenient to use because just 1 command instead of 2. Example of how to restore it:

Test your Bus Pirate
Instructions for Linux:
install minicom terminal app, then connect to your Bus Pirate and run a self test:
