PicDotNetTools is a a combination of firmware, utilities and applications
for PIC USB developers, Currently, utilities and applications are
specific for 18F series USB micro-controllers.



PicBootDotNet (MCHPUSB Bootloader in C#)

PicBootDotNet is an alternative to Microchips PdfsUsb application. It
works with the same device firmware (MCHPUSB), only using LibUsbDotNet
(LibUsb or WinUsb) for its device driver instead of the generic mchpusb
driver.

Features:
* Replaces the generic mchpusb.dll driver with either winusb or
  libusb-win32.
* Supports reading/writing/verifying program memory and config memory
  using MCHPUSB device firmware.
* Supports reading/writing/verifying program memory and
  reading/verifying config memory using MiniX640 device firmware.
* Supports reading/writing EEData memory for MCHPUSB device firmware.
  MiniX640 firmware does not support EEData.
* Capable of supporting all of the 18F series usb devices.
   Note:

  MCHPUSB bootloader firmware does not yet exists for many of theses
  devices.

* Full C# source-code available



PicFW: 18F Framework Writer

PicFW generates complete usb framework applications that can immediately
be compiled and loaded. The generated is based on an older (1.3) stack
that is both smaller and faster.
 
 Note: PicFW is for 18F series USB devices only.

-- CHANGE HISTORY --
--------------------

v0.1.1 (09-03-2009)

* Fixed Bug ID: 2850210 - PicFW: Proccessor is always set to '18F2550'
  in Vstudo.

  Visual Studio project file has the target proccessor hard-coded to
  '18F2550' instead of the $(MCU) tag.

* Fixed Bug ID: 2845688 - PicBootDotNet: Invalid processor incorrectly
  reported.

  The 'device id' is not being masked by the 'device id mask value'. This
  causes PicBootDotNet to incorrectly report an invalid processor.

* Fixed Bug ID: 2845686 - PicFW: 18F1xK50 firmware compiles but doesn't
  run.

  Firmware built for "K" series PIC device doesn't run. Windows reports
  nothing when connected. The Firmware attempts to disable enpoints 1
  thru 15 in the 'mDisableEp1to15' macro. K series devices only have 8
  possible endpoints.


v0.1.0 (08-20-2009)

* Preview release.
