This is excellent. I haven't used it yet, but I presume the fact that there
is a command-line programmer means that I can program chips without having
to leave Emacs, let alone fire up my Windows box.
But I noticed from <http://piklab.sourceforge.net/devices.php> that the
30F3013 is not supported. How difficult would it be to add this support? Is
it just a matter of testing? I have samples of 30F3012/3 and 30F2011/2
which I could test. My current project is using 30F3013, so this is the one
I really want support for.
Also, does piklab's programmer support showing the silicon revision of
dsPICs?
One last question: has anyone made debs for this stuff yet?
cheers,
John
