Post by thread:[OT:] Linux + MPLAB(?) + ICE2000

It seems that there is a lot of Linux masters in PICLIST ;-) , so I decided to ask this: Is there anyone using the PIC emulator ICE2000 on MPLAB (or any other program) in Linux? I have tried wine and bochs, but no success. I haven't tried vmware, though.

> I have tried wine and bochs, but no success. > I've tried this too.... No success here either. Part of my initial problem was getting IE to function so that I could continue the install. Later, I tried CrossoverOffice from Codeweavers. The demo seems really well put together and integrated. Has support for installers, etc. You might try the demo, then try the install again... I'm sure that if enough people start wanting it, MCHP could be convinced to contact the people at Codeweavers to help smooth out any transition issues, or at least make the MPLAB compliant with the emulation layer. If I had this (MPLAB and perhaps AutoCAD on Linux), I'd be able to reformat my only Windows machine and move away from MS forever! ... I'm already using Eagle on Linux, the only reason I keep windows around is for MPLAB. DD -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.

There are two flavors, one for a Linux Host and one for a Windows host. I'm currently using the Windows host version with RedHat 9 as my guest operating system. In Linux (guest os) , I'm using the GNU tools to cross-compile code for the ARM7. I can then invoke ddd with arm-elf-gdb as my debugger and connect to my Chameleon JTAG pod through LPT1 (assigned to the virtual machine) and download code, single-step, etc. My point is that the virtual machines are done so well that programs executing in the guest OS should have no problem using hardware ports such as serial, parallel, USB, etc. You could use Linux as your host and install XP (or other MS OS) as your guest OS and then run Autocad or mplab. Programmer's Paradise is running a special on VMWare right now. Tom -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.

I think I will try vmware, now.
