Version 0.6.0 of the PC application has been released, Check the download page! This PC application is functioning well in Linux (Ubuntu builds for amd64 and i386 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 0.6.0, but a lot of work has to be done. The hardware can not be ordered through this site anymore.Ĭurrently, a version of the PCB (v0.3.2) has been released. The design of the hardware is open and free of charge for the people who have their own PCB production facilities. This application is known to function well on Linux, Windows (XP or later) and Macosx. PC software – A wxWidgets based (cross platform) application to communicate with the usbpicprog hardware / firmware.The usbpicprog part of the firmware contains the actual programming algorithms for all the implemented PIC devices.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.It contains the USB framework, and high and low level functions for PIC in circuit programming.The firmware can also be divided into two parts:

Firmware– The software that runs on the processor on the PCB.

Hardware – A PCB design which contains the necessary components to interface from the USB port to a Microchip ICSP (in circuit serial programming) header.

Usbpicprog consists of three main components which can be found on the download page: On 7 February 2009, Frans Schreuder did a presentation about usbpicprog on the Fosdem, the Free and Open Source Developers European Meeting.

The hardware is as simple as possible, the current version only contains one PIC18F2550, 4 mosfets, and besides the connectors a hand full of passive components. Usbpicprog is an USB in circuit programmer for Microchip PIC processors. As the therm “open source” implies, the hardware design, the software and the firmware are all available for download free of charge. Welcome to usbpicprog, an open source Microchip PIC programmer for the USB port.
