pyBusPirate vs pyBusPirateLite #2

Closed meeas closed 11 years ago

meeas commented 11 years ago

Sorry for filling an issue to ask a question, but I'm not sure if there is another way on Github. What is the difference between this pyBusPirate and the pyBusPirateLite that is hosted on google code? Just asking before I dig too deep in either. I'm trying to port a pyEEPROM tool from using Total Phase Aardvark to BusPirate and am hoping to save time with trial/error.

pyBusPirateLite is/was a stripped down version of pyBusPirate. It may be out of date and incompatible with current firmware.

Also I suggest using flashrom instead....

Sean, thanks for all the updates. I apologize for not providing patches, but to tell the truth I'm not sure how to do that. Sorry for the ignorance. Give me a quick command or two to roll a patch and I'll provide that next time.

As for flashrom, I haven't been able to get it to work on my EEPROMs, especially the I2C ones. I'm doing security work on embedded devices in critical infrastructure (think energy, electric utilities, SCADA, Smart Meters, etc...). I'm directly interfacing with numerous EEPROMs on embedded circuits dumping their contents and doing bus sniffing when applicable, thus my need for pyBusPirate.
