Hello from the Eghth Doctor
Thank you for your kind advice. However, I have the regular parts here, not the
programming kit. Still for what I ordered the sample parts for, and what I've planned
for that, I should think your right.

Gregg:
We use the 10F20X here for our smallest products. We've been using them
since November. We got the kits when they first came out, so I guess
I've got some experience with it.
We're using CCSC, which is available on Linux. You can also write the
code in assembly, and in fact you'll may have to write some parts in
assembly. Nothing extravagant; the TRIS and OPTION registers are only
accessible via the TRIS and OPTION commands in assembly. CCS recently
included some statements to work with them, but the code wasn't broken
so I didn't fix it.
You'll have to have an up-to-date version of CCSC. Note that they
"fixed" some things when they added support for the 10F20X, so if you're
upgrading from a previous version get ready for some serious pain.
It's a Windows shop here, and we use Quickwriter for the programming.
Depending on the board, we have a $2 ICSP module that sits on the board
or we use the $200 6-pin SOT-6 programmer before they get soldered on.
It takes a while and the fuse settings don't seem to play nice together.
You'll have to edit the configuration word in QW if you want the MCLR to
stay off.
The development kit from microchip isn't supported in Linux. You may
have to run an emulator or as they like to say on Slashdot, "Just write
your own." I'd go for the emulator. ;)
The development kit they sent you won't work until you update the
software. (At least, that was the case in November.) Go here and get the
latest software:
http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en010053
Good luck and have fun. It's a good little chip, and we're selling
thousands of units based on it. It's making a big positive impact on our
bottom line.

I've got some samples but haven't tried them yet. They can be programmed in
the PICkit 1, with an adapter, or with the ICD 2.

Hello from the Eighth Doctor
I just received my sample order of 3 devices of the PIC10F202 (DIP-8
package), from Microchip today.
Has anyone had any prior experience with this particular device? Or perhaps the
PIC12 family? According to Microchip the PIC10, is a member of the PIC12 family.
I'm not sure what they mean by this. What I am curious is how the devices were
programmed, and what software tools were used to write the code. Linux based
preferably.
