Firmware / Updating FPGA Firmware
« on: December 23, 2019, 07:01:00 pm »
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
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?

| 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) |

Have you read the link above?
If you don't wanna build it by your own, there is only one option: VoidLinux, IIRC

I don't know what command you executed. I don't know what kind of error you got.

make -j`nproc` doesn't give me an error …
Little bit of googling
difference between nproc "make -j"
Google again

But it's good that you've made some progress on your own.

Linux command cp
/boot/ is a folder.
config-*.ppc64le is a file.
There seems to be something wrong with this file. Then go to the folder boot and see what file(s) you find with the name config-*.ppc64le. The * is a placeholder. Then you'll understand what the problem is.

In the meantime, could you figure out why the error message pops-up?
Also do you know what this line means?
cp /boot/config-*.ppc64le .config

Cool, thanks. I didn't read the thing about the fix. I will give bangBMC also a try. It's quite possible that I'll get back to you, then.

Now I'm back on Fedora Workstation 30 again, without any problems. Tomorrow I'll try to set it up the way I did. And then updated to 31. Let's see if it works then.
