Had to knock off one star for the lack of documentation, quirkiness, and amount of research involved just to use this device properly. Even for an IT professional like myself, it was annoying and a bit of a learning curve, but a fun challenge to overcome. The process was a bit convoluted and took longer than it should have, but this device finally got my motherboard back up and running.Īfter some research and much trial and error, it finally came back to life. If your buying this you should already know what you need it for, so no manual really needed. Hopefully you are a bit past double clicking on drives and hoping for an auto-installer, if you are purchasing this kind of product.īut it worked as expected. The IC is somehow limited in this configuration, because the programmer makes use only of the SPI and I2C interface and leaves a lot of pins unconnected. The video is available here.CHA is used by some cheap memory programmers. The usbpicprog part of the firmware contains the actual programming algorithms for all the implemented PIC devices. The firmware can also be divided into two parts: The bootloader Microchip Picdem bootloader has to be loaded only once, after that this part of the firmware can be upgraded through the usbpicprog interface. The video is available here: Components Usbpicprog consists of three main components which can be found on the download page : Hardware - A PCB design which contains the necessary components to interface from the USB port to a Microchip ICSP in circuit serial programming header.įirmware - The software that runs on the processor on the PCB.

This PC application is functioning well in Linux Ubuntu builds for amd64 and i are available through a personal package archive.

The PICs that have been implemented can be found in the supported devices section. The embedded software has been released as version 0. Status Currently, a version of the PCB v0. The hardware can not be ordered through this site anymore. The design of the hardware is open and free of charge for the people who have their own PCB production facilities. Uci cssa bbsĬomponents Usbpicprog consists of three main components which can be found on the download page. The hardware is as simple as possible, the current version only contains one PIC18F, 4 mosfets, and besides the connectors a hand full of passive components.
