WHAT IS MPBURNER?
MPBurner is a 'highly Modularized Pic Burner' written from scratch by
Gergely Szász. It is distributed under the GNU General Public
License - see the accompanying
COPYING
file for more details.
THIS PROGRAM DOES
NOT WORKS YET!! :-)
My plans:
- It will work with ALL hardware used for PIC
burning.
- It will handle all type of PICs, not just ICSP capable
ones.
- It will know all file type used for storing PIC programs and
data (inhx8m, inhx16, inhx32, simple hex...)
- plus other 'extreme' formats (inhx8, COFF, ptkl4 format,
...)
- It will handle more than one burner at the same time
- pic_auto_change capability (but you need hardware for it :-)
- Later, an assembler may be included, which can produce not
only COFF format object files...
ON WHAT OPERATING SYSTEMS IT RUN?
It runs under Linux and other UNIXES, (including HURD :-) ), but
it is beeing developed under Linux (or later perhaps under HURD).
DOCUMENTATION:
Work in progress...
INSTALLING mpburner:
- If you download the full source, put the mpburner tarball in a
directory where you have permissions (eg. your home
directory)
- and unpack it:
gzip -cd mpburner-0.x.x.tar.gz
| tar xv
- compile & link:
make from the top directory
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
Compiling and running mpburner requires make, a c compiler, libc and
libdl standard GNU libraries.
CONFIGURING mpburner:
This time there is not any configuration option... But see
config.h file.
Once more: this program DOES NOT fully function yet...
INPLEMENTED FEATURES
- An emulated PIC programmer, with lot of emulated PIC (this time
only 16Fxxx types) for testing and obj file format conversion
- A serial PIC programmer plugin (not completely tested); to build
the burner see schematics
- 'Intel modified Hex File Format' file plugin (inhx8m)
- A plain hex file plugin (ADDR:data)
- A 'ptkl4+' file plugin
