EduMic downloading software

Press to enlarge picture.

This software downloads the HEX file to the PIC® microcontroller at the EduMic development board. The HEX file is the output of the assembler program. This software support most of the PIC16 and PIC18 families supporting ICSP (In Circuit Serial Programming).

Program download and installation

Windows 32/64 bits 95/98/ME/XP/Vista/7  (Edumic v 3.1)

1. Uninstall any previous version of EduMic.
2. Download and run the installation program. (Installer user must have administrative privileges.)

Linux (Edumic v 1.01)

1. Download installation file for Linux
2. Run everything as root!!!
3. uncompress with tar xvfz edumic.tgz
4. Copy the edupic executable file in some directory included in the PATH variable, say /usr/local/bin
5. Give it executable and read permissions to all. Activate sticky bit (s) to the executable file so it can access the parallel port from any user. It is performed by the instruction chmod a+srx edupic (if the user is always root there is no need to do these things).
6. Copy lib files (start with lib) in some Linux library path, say /usr/lib, and give them execute and read permissions. It is possible you have to run ldconfig afterward.
7. Copy the configuration file EduPIC.ini in /etc y give it read permission.
8. Run edupic and good luck.

Features:

• This software support most operative systems (MS Windows and Linux).
• It is completely free and can be used for other programmers following Microchip AN589.
• Supports configuration word, Id and eeprom specified in the HEX file.
• Configuration word and microcontroller Id is easily selectable by the program.
• It reads and writes PIC microcontrollers.
• It is possible to edit the data before sending it to the PIC MCU (program and EEPROM).
• Protected PIC MCUs can be re-enabled for writing.
• There is a simple configuration file that can be modified to include new PIC microcontrollers.
• It is impossible to test every PIC microcontroller, but it worked for all 16 and 18 family tested PIC MCUs as 16F876A, 16F873, 16F876, 16F84A, 16F628, 16C745, 18F2550, 18F452 etc.
