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
