I expect that an unpatched Bus Pirate driver will have the same problems. Which Bus Pirate is this, and which firmware are you running on it? AFAIK some firmware versions have known bugs which might affect us. If your firmware is indeed one of the broken versions, I hope we can add a blacklist to flashrom and refuse to communicate unless the Bus Pirate is upgraded. > RDID returned 0x00 0x00 0x00.
