Re: [Usbpicprog-technical] loading PIC data from Piklab XML files

[Frans S. <fra...@gm...>]

Hi Francesco,

Are you through with your exam? I hope everything went smoothly...

I have gone through your great work on the piklab xml files and all the 
code around it.
I also implemented the relation between the hexfile and the config 
generator and everything seems to work now.
What would you think if I would merge the thing back into trunk?

Cheers,

Frans
