PICkit2

Hello,

I recently switched to PICkit2 (from ICD2) after discovering the v2.x
firmware is actually quite neat.

The PICkit2 seems like an interesting hw platform to build a universal
device programmer.  Is there anyone working on this?  Are there problems
that make it still too PIC-specific?

Cheers
Tom

I have some software in Scheme that builds a scheme wrapper around the
PICkit2 v2.x programmer firmware command and script languages:

It's an example about how simple it is to write a domain specific language
in Scheme.  Also, the code tree contains some code to read the Microchip
device description file into a Scheme datastructure.  All this is part
of the Staapl 'interactive debugger' layer.
