gnupic: Thread: MPLAB-ICD

 There's way to use the MPLAB-ICD under linux/bsd ?

I have been trying it from time to time under Wine.  I have been able
to get it to connect before, but not really work.  The most recent
release of Wine that I tried was either wine-20001222 or
wine-20001202.  I haven't looked carefully at any of the errors or
tried tweeking wine.

I can talk to the PicStart from the IDE under Wine.  Builds work,
except for the linking step.  Mplink forks other processes, which
seems to trip on a limitation in Wine.

I do development using the DOS versions of the tools (using dosemu)
and then load them using picp.  I use gpsim to debug the things that
the ICD would have been really good for.

I've not used wine, but routinely run MPLAB under VirtualPC (Macintosh).
Getting the ICD to communicate is even harder but the key lies in
configuring Windows so that the serial port is not a modem. Probably
have to do that under non-emulated Windows too. Forgot what I did under
NT on another machine.

After concluding I was only abusing myself by trying do do useful work 
on the ICD under VirtualPC, I flipped it into Simulator Mode, and only 
used it for Edit/Assemble sessions. Its just as well as my new G4-400 
doesn't have a serial port, only a built in modem, USB, Firewire, and 
gigabit ethernet.
