pp - Parts Programmer

Introduction

pp is a parts programmer for UNIX-based systems. All operations are specified on the command line, making it easy to add programming to your Makefiles. It currently supports input files in the Intel Hex32 format and the KitsRUs Kit 150 PIC programmer as a targget.

Work on the C++ rewrite has been slow since most of my time is devoted to my employer, planning my wedding, and moving to a new apartment. I've managed to get the general plugin framework in place and also write a set of objects to parse and edit device configuration files. I've also begun writing companion tools that will be included with pp to allow interactive editing of the configuration files.

pp is in the process of a complete rewrite in C++. This allows for a much more flexible internal structure including a plugin architecture. The plugin architecture provides for support of any binary file format as well as any programmer for any type of device. I hope that this will make pp a framework for programming all sorts of devices, such as Atmel AVR microcontrollers, EEPROMs, and much more.
