I'd be happy to help with this. I'm a windows programmer by trade, and have recently done quite a bit of linux stuff. And I'm currently very interested in getting pic-related tools running on linux. On a (slightly) separate note: has anyone every seen any documentation on the interfaces needed to create a COM object which MPLAB can use as a programmer device? (all of the MPLAB supported programmers are implemented as COM objects. it would be nice to implement a COM wrapper around Xwisp so that programming can be done from the IDE).
