Im sick of Mplab Ipe and each time enter the "microchip" password to have the advanced options  ...

We are just completing the Raspberry Pi PICKitPlus software. 

We have commenced the project assessment, so, very early days.

I will post an update as we move forward.

Any news ?

What about Linux users ?

[Anobium]

Got it covered.  See https://pickitplus.co.uk/Typesetter/index.php/PKCMD-LX-Application

Thanks !

Is there support for PicKit4 ?

[Anobium]

Not at the moment, it takes time to reverse engineer things...

We have a great relationship with Microchip and following another engineering request late last year.

The formal position. 

The formal response from the VP of Development Systems. He is responsible for Microchip’s global development tools group which includes debuggers and programmers. 

"Gen 4 [PK4] and 5 [PK5] tools use a completely different paradigm for programming target devices that make it extremely difficult to offer this to a third party."   

What are we up to ?

We now produce our own PICKit2 Programmer, and, we supply that globally.

We are still selling, supporting and developing PICKitPlus for PICKit2 and PICKit3 programmers. Demand has not weaken.

We have a backlog of projects, including the new USB Wire Bridge which is currently in BETA.

and, GCBASIC is still  as strong as ever, we are addding more AVRs and Nuvoton chips soon.

I'm afraid this will not be a solution for me since I am using (among others) some newer PIC's only supported starting with PK4....

In the meantime, I will try to see what I can come up with Wine and my usual tools (JAL compiler and libraries, MPIPE for programming the chip)

Thanks anyway.

Let us now when you have something compatible with PK4 or higher 

[Anobium]

Understand.

We are just adding the 18FxxQ24 series of chips.  When they are added they we have all the 18Fs up to date. 

There is a list of supported chips here:  https://pickitplus.co.uk/Typesetter/index.php/Supported-Parts
