![]() Until I built an ICD2 that was my main tool. So good I stopped using anything else except to get TPB into a new chip, or when sending something out, to set the code fuses or similar. ![]() It's small, quick, in circuit without the extra crap of ICSP, etc. ![]() Tiny PIC Bootloader is extremely effective. Get it running on a Windows box first, so you see what it does. It uses the serial port, but if that's needed for your program it'd also be easy to put in a small 2 pin serial routine, to use other pins. I have a more heavily commented version of the PIC file I can give to you, I traced through it once to fix a bug that stopped it from working with a larger PIC, with the extra comments it won't take long to figure it out. ![]() The PIC part is only 100 words, so not that much to follow, just write a simple basic or other language you know uploader that reads a PIC file and sends what the bootloader wants. [ If you're really wanting to do Linux PIC development, I'd write a Linux based uploader for this if you can't find something else already. If you are only wanting to program a few PICs, I'd say have someone else do it for you, or get one of the above programs (IC Prog really, the other only handles a PIC or two it didn't) and a simple Tait style programmer running in Linux under an emulator.
