USB support

Post by fejesg »

Hello Everybody! :D :D :D

I changed from Windows to Ubuntu a short time ago. Under Win I programmed microcontrollers with Microchip PicKit2 programmer, which has USB connection.

After I installed Ms .NET Framework 2.0 with winetricks, the Wine enablet do install PicKit2 program; it runs, but can not wiev / handle programmer, which I plug in to an USB port.

Please help me. Have any USB support for Wine ? (I use W 1.1.6).

ThanX forwardly: fejesg HU [email protected]

No, Wine does not support direct communication with USB devices.

Hi.

If you want to access USB directly from Windows program, you have to use some
virtualization software. For example, VMWare Server 2.0 (freeware, but not
open-source; downoad from vmware.com) and VirtualBox 2.0 (full edition, not
OSE edition; see virtualbox.org). Both of these programs have USB 2.0 support
(VMWare is _probably_ more stable, but VirtualBox's interface is much more
friendly for desktop use); Of course, to use Windows in virtualized
environment, you should obtain a valid Windows license from Microsoft (if
you've used Windows before, you probably already have one, don't you? :-)).

However, maybe there is some native Linux software to program
microcontrollers? Did you try to find such software? It's better to use
native programs, if available.

Just some background information on the PICKit 2 before the "drivers
are not supported" reply flood starts:
* Under Windows it is detected as a USB HID:
http://www.voti.nl/pickit2faq/index.html so it should not be that hard
get working...
* The pk2 program is available for programming it under Linux:
http://mcuee.blogspot.com/2007/06/picki ... howto.html
and http://home.pacbell.net/theposts/picmicro/ Pk2 really needs some
updating though...
* Recent MPLAB versions also support the PicKit 2
