Hi Folks, I'm sorry that this is a bit off-topic, but if ever there was an audience to ask this question of, if would have to be here. Quite a few years ago, I did a project using a mid-range PIC16F84A - mostly about digital inputs and outputs. The project worked perfectly, but I used a programmer from Microchip called a PICstart. I used the supplied software on Windows, which drove the programmer via an RS232C port. I would like to do the same sort of thing over again using the same programmer if at all possible, but 100% Linux (OpenSuse as it happens). Can anyone comment upon this, and can anyone point me in the right direction for some software that could utilise this rather old programmer? Obviously I want to use SDCC with all this! I've used SDCC quite successfully for Z80 targets; but that used an S4 EPROM programmer simply using minicom via RS232, and that was dead-easy. Also, I'm mildly interested in a GUI Integrated Development Environment (although I'm just as happy with text-mode and Curses-type interfaces), and would appreciate a steer if anyone can offer some suggestions? Thanks in anticipation! -- Richard. PGP Key-id: 0x5AB3D350 The bigger the theory the better. |

Can't help you with that but I'm very happy with my PICKit2, open source and just USD 35 last time I checked. I've also got PICKit3 which I've not used much, somehow I do not like that so much, can't say why because it looks almost identical. >Also, I'm mildly interested in a GUI Integrated Development Environment >(although I'm just as happy with text-mode and Curses-type interfaces), >and >would appreciate a steer if anyone can offer some suggestions? On this page I describe how I use Eclipse for embedded development: http://www.sparetimelabs.com/funwith08/funwith08.php although it is about HC08 I actually use it with SDCC too and other things too. br Kusti This e-mail may contain confidential or privileged information.

Hi Richard- I've used the usb_pickit s/w with my pickit 1 and it provides a great set of utilities. You'd have to do some research to see if the code will work with your PICstart.

Hi Richard, I am using a clone of an ICD2 programmer/debugger to program and debug my PICs. At the time I was looking for an IDE for linux I found piklab [1]. I found it quite usefull for the programs I did for PICs (mostly in assembler using gputils, but piklab also supports sdcc). The last release of piklab is version 0.16.2 from Oktober 2012. I don't know if there is any further development. See further comments below.

As mentioned above, piklab should support this. There is also a programmer only executeable called 'piklab-prog' which could be used from command line without the IDE to program devices using the supported programmers. I had a quick look at the openSuSE pages and found that piklab is available as an already build rpm package [2]. Trying it should not cost many effort. > I've used SDCC quite successfully for Z80 targets; but that used an S4 EPROM > programmer simply using minicom via RS232, and that was dead-easy. > > Also, I'm mildly interested in a GUI Integrated Development Environment > (although I'm just as happy with text-mode and Curses-type interfaces), and > would appreciate a steer if anyone can offer some suggestions? > > Thanks in anticipation! I hope this helps you a little bit kind regards Patrick Wacker [1] http://piklab.sourceforge.net/ [2] http://en.opensuse.org/Piklab |

Hello all, In the past few months we received several good patches from Ben Shi for the stm8 target. We have now extended him developer access. Everyone say "welcome Ben" ;) Maarten |
