gnupic: Thread: Supported parts

Hi, I was looking into some Linux tools for use with my new PIC hobby
work.

- Is the supported parts list up to date for gpsim?  In particular I was
wondering about the PIC16F628 and and PIC16F87x series?

- Any recommendation on which programmer works on Linux for these parts?

- Also, I was looking to get Microchip's ICD, is there any Linux support
for that?

Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Yes, have a look at http://icdprog.sourceforge.net/

Icdprog will program the PIC16F8xx controllers, but I have not done any
work on using the ICD hardware for in circuit debugging (yes, I am the
author of icdprog).

Cool, thanks.

Anyone know about gpsim support for these parts?

Thanks,
Kevin

Tony Nixon's Pocket programmer can program these.
http://www.bubblesoftonline.com

I've been working on software for it, but right now I've only tested it
in FreeBSD since I don't have any linux boxen. My software is at
http://terrandev.com/~bfoz/pocket It's not done yet, but it's useable.

The gpsim page usually doesn't keep up with the development. The current
processors doesn't have the 628 on the list. The 87x parts are there though.

Another programming spot to look is my page:

http://www.finitesite.com/d3jsys

which has a trivial programmer that I've tested for the 16F877 and will
probably work with the '628. It's a low voltage programmer that I use to
dump the wloader bootloader into chips. I program with an updated version
of Brian Lane's picprg. Calling this version 2.3a. With 1 chip and 1 resistor,
the programmer can be put together in about 10 minutes.

Great, that'll get me started.

Thanks,

All true. If you have gpsim installed and are curious which processors
are supported, then the "processor list" command will display that
info for you.

gpsim> processor list
generic_pic  14bit_pic    12bit_pic    16bit_pic
pic12c508    pic12c509    pic16c84     pic16cr83
pic16cr84    pic16f83     pic16f84     pic16c54
pic16c61     pic16c71     pic16c712    pic16c716
pic16c62     pic16c62a    pic16cr62    pic16c63
pic16c64     pic16c64a    pic16cr64    pic16c65a
pic16c65     pic16c72     pic16c73     pic16c74
pic16f873    pic16f874    pic16f877    pic17c7xx
pic17c75x    pic17c752    pic17c756    pic17c756a
pic17c762    pic17c766    pic18cxx2    pic18c2x2
pic18c242    pic18c252    pic18c442    pic18c452


The 17cxxx family is the most recent addition added by Carlos Nieves
Onega and is not yet functional. All other devices have at the minimum
a functioning core. Many, but not all, of the peripherals are
supported. Some of the major ones are EEPROM, CCP, TMR0, TMR1/TMR2,
USART, and A/D.

Byron, do you mind if I add a link to your site (on the GNUPIC page)?
