A discussion group for the PICMicro microcontroller. Also called the Microchip PIC, this list is dedicated to the use and abuse of this fine, simple, microcontroller. Close to topic posts are welcome, ie. general electronics.
My OS is Puppy Linux. I'm running MPLAB through WINE instead of Windows.
My programmer is a PICSTART Plus. I'm using a USB-serial converter to
connect the PICSTART Plus to a USB port on my laptop, which lacks real
serial ports.
I can figure out the port my PICSTART Plus (with the USB-serial cable)
is attached to by typing "dmesg|grep tty" in a shell window. (It's
ttyUSB0.)
THE PROBLEM: How do I get MPLAB under WINE to recognize my PICSTART
Plus? I think I'm supposed to get Puppy Linux to recognize the
PICSTART Plus as a serial port. But how do I get Puppy Linux to
recognize the PICSTART Plus? And how do I get Puppy Linux to treat
this USB port like a serial port?
