Updating FPGA Firmware

[MPC7500]

Hello,

in the next days I plan to update the FPGA firmware of my Blackbird. I would like to know from you if my considerations are correct so far.

I own a:
Bus Pirate v3.6 (TOL-12942)
Bus Pirate cable (CAB-09556)
Fedora 31
FlashROM v1.1

Am I correct in assuming that this patch is already included in v1.1? And I read somewhere that you should buy v3.6 and not v4. I hope this is correct?

Can I proceed as follows:

1. connect Bus Pirate and Blackbird via USB
2. connect Bus Pirate cable with FPGA header



   
   
   
   
   
   
   

Wire color	Bus Pirate v3.6	FPGA header (J10107)
Brown	GND	1 Ground
Pink	Clock	2 SPI Clock
Grey	MOSI	3 SPI MOSI
Black	MISO	4 SPI MISO
White	Chip select (active low)	5 SPI Slave select (active low)
Red	+3.3V	6 +3.3V (standby power)

3. boot Blackbird
4. flash firmware
5. shutdown Blackbird
6. disconnect the power supply until the lights go out
7. switch on the power supply

Or do I have to do the whole thing from another computer because the wiki says the following:
"Apply standby power to your system but do not turn it on."

I thought a second computer was not needed because it's an ISP programmer?

Now for the actual programming. Are the following commands correct:

Write Firmware: sudo flashrom -p buspirate_spi:dev=/dev/myPath,spispeed=1M -w Blackbird-system-fpga-v1.01.rom

Verify Firmware: sudo flashrom -p buspirate_spi:dev=/dev/myPath,spispeed=1M -v Blackbird-system-fpga-v1.01.rom

Is this so far correct?
