I've done as much as I could without having hardware to test. I have a patch for usbpicprog for Linux/Mac serial. I could add windows serial if need be. The patch is here: http://seancrazy.net/patches/usbpicprog-serial.diff Ok. I’ve done as much as I could without having hardware to test. I have a patch for usbpicprog for Linux/Mac serial.

I've done all the "splitting" of the code for both interfaces and added a gui switch to choose interfaces. As soon as I finish, i'll post a patch against SVN.

I'll take a look at the source code, and if it seems easy enough I could add the serial interface. That sounds easy!

I'm graduating from college now and I have lots of other stuff to do that's why I can't start working on it immediately.

Your project is great, thank you for all the hard work. I'd be happy to help you port the AVR programmer firmware, there's only a few defines and registers to change. As you said on the survey page, it would only take one extra pin from the ICSP header to adapt your hardware. The Bus Pirate is 3.3volts, so 24F/ds33/18FxxJxx programming should all be possible. I'd like to add the firmware side of that after the other part is working. @pppd - No deadline, whenever it's done. I'd do it myself, and eventually will if no one else does, but I'm not a PC-side programmer. I'm all set up for microcontroller development, but in cross-platform PC software I'm totally lost.

I think it's a fairly easy task and you could easily go without the HW if there is anyone who could test it on daily basis. What’s the deadline?

(Not even such a big issue I guess) Maybe we can share code so that it will be possible to program avr's as well with usbpicprog!
