Hi,

PiKdev is a lightweigth integrated development environment  for PIC devices
which exists since 2002. Due to various reasons, the development
of this IDE has been stopped during a couple of years, but I found enough time
to develop it again.

PiKdev supports pic10, pic12, pic16 and pic18 devices. 
Supported programmers are serial (JDM-like), parrallel (Tait-like)
or USB (Microchip's pickit2 and clones).

Programming languages are ASM (with gputils tools) and C
(with the cpik compiler for PIC18 devices). 

PiKdev is simple but handy. It supports the "project concept", 
but can also be used for stand-alone asm files. 

Recent improvements are:

- Improved project browser, with direct access to each 
function/variable/typedef declaration or definition. 
This feature works also with cpik's source libraries (.slb files)
and is very useful when a project become important. A C parser has been 
developped for C source code analysis.

- Interactive CONFIG bits editor. This feature has been developed for PIC18
devices because they contain no less then 14 config registers. Populating 
these registers is a pain when you begin a project. The editor allows you to
choose a configuration and generates (commented) source code for you.
Can be used in both ASM or C contexts, and works for all supported devices.   
Config fuses are now part of the project parameters.

The cpik (PIC18 only) compiler is now perfectly usable and has been used for 
several projects (V0.5). Feel free to test and report opinions.
