PIC Programmer for Linux - Parallel Port Low Voltage Programmer
Source code of PICPRG and schematic from Byron Jeff's PIC Page
This is a very simple and easy to build MicroChip PIC programmer (Tait style) for the types 16F87X, 16F62X etc. I only use the PIC16F876, therefore
the schematic is only tested with this type, aswell the configuration for PICPRG.
Hardware:
Keep the parallel port cable as short as possible. Mine is just about 25cm (10inch) long. With the termination (R2, C1)
longer cables should work, but I haven't tested it.
Software:
Mirror of Byron Jeff's picprg branch (version 2.3d): Source tar.gz of PICPRG for Linux (~25k)
Compile it with "make" and run it with "./picprg -p0" while being "root" (-p0 selects /dev/lp0, -p1 selects /dev/lp1 etc.).
Select PIC16F877 for the 16F876!
PICPRG loads Intel Hex files, produced by MPLAB or the CC5X C-Compiler.
Configuration of PICPRG for the PIC16F876:
Vpp control pin # : +[04] off
(Vdd control pin # : +[06] off -> not used)
PGM control pin # : +[05] off
Clock pin # : +[03] off
Data to PIC pin # : +[02] off
Data from PIC pin # : +[10] on
Here is my .picprgrc config file (/dev/lp0 ; PIC16F876):
# Linux PIC programmer configuration v2.0
port=0x0
vpp=+4
vdd=+6
pgm=+5
clock=+3
datao=+2
datai=+10
idaddr=2000
eeaddr=2100
cfaddr=2007
colors=1
type=0x0
