+Interfacing a new microchip can be a hassle. Breadboarding a circuit, writing code, hauling out the programmer, or maybe even prototyping a PCB. We never seem to get it right on the first try.
+The ‘Bus Pirate’ is a universal bus interface that talks to most chips from a PC serial terminal, eliminating a ton of early prototyping effort when working with new or unknown chips. Many serial protocols are supported at 0-5.5volts, more can be added.
+===== Protocols (bus modes) =====
+  *  1-Wire
+  *  I2C
+  *  SPI
+  *  JTAG
+  *  Asynchronous serial
+  *  MIDI
+  *  PC keyboard
+  *  HD44780 LCD
+  *  2- and 3-wire libraries with bitwise pin control
+  *  Scriptable binary bitbang, 1-Wire, I2C, SPI, and UART modes
+===== Features =====
+  *  0-5.5volt tolerant pins
+  *  0-6volt measurement probe
+  *  1Hz-40MHz frequency measurement
+  *  1kHz - 4MHz pulse-width modulator, frequency generator
+  *  On-board multi-voltage pull-up resistors
+  *  On-board 3.3volt and 5volt power supplies with software reset
+  *  Macros for common operations
+  *  Bus traffic sniffers (SPI, I2C)
+  *  A bootloader for easy firmware updates
+  *  Transparent USB-&gt;serial mode
+  *  10Hz-1MHz low-speed logic analyzer
+  *  Can program many AVR microcontrollers
+    *  Supported by AVRdude
+    *  Can emulate the AVR STK500 v2 programmer by loading the alternate ST500 Clone firmware)
+  *  Scriptable from Perl, Python, etc.
+  *  Translations (currently Spanish and Italian)
+  *  Public domain (Creative Commons Zero) source. Prototype with the Bus Pirate, then use the code in your project however you want.
+===== Applications with Bus Pirate support =====
+The Bus Pirate is used through a simple terminal interface, but these applications also support the Bus Pirate as a programming device, etc.**
+**
+  *  [[http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/avrdude|AVRDude AVR programmer]] (AVRDude v5.8+, firmware v4 (any) or v5.9+)
+  *  [[http://openocd.berlios.de/web/|OpenOCD JTAG debugger]]
+  *  [[http://www.flashrom.org/Flashrom|flashrom bios/flash programmer]]
