Beta test versions of picp-0.6.3 and gpicp-0.0.8 are available at
http://home.pacbell.net/theposts/picmicro/beta
INHX32 files are now supported (but mostly untested).
picp-0.6.3-beta1:
-------------------
1) -rp outputs only those hex records that contain non-blank data. This makes
for typically much smaller hex files when reading program memory. Reading
eeprom data outputs the entire data space.
2) Checksums in Intel hex records are verified.
3) The command 'picp' outputs only the usage message--to get a list of
supported devices use 'picp -d' with no other options.
4) Erasing flash parts will first read the configuration registers, save any
factory set bits (eg: band gap), and restore those bits in the config
registers after erasure. The only chips I know of to which this applies are
12f629, 12f675, 16f630, and 16f676. If you know of others, please inform me
so I can make appropriate entries in the PIC definitions.
gpicp-0.0.8-beta1:
--------------------
1) Display of configuration bits and ID locations will be updated when a hex
file is opened if the hex file contains records for them.
2) Miscellaneous code cleanup and fixes.
Cheers,
Jeff
