PIC Tools Free Downloads!
These tools, created by Pete Skeggs, were originally developed for use
with the MarkIII Robot Kit,
designed by members of the Portland
Area Robotics Society and sold by Junun.org.
A discussion list for this kit, and for others that use BotLoader and
other PIC Tools, is on Yahoogroups.
However, they are useful for any PIC project involving the 16F87x parts.
Enjoy!
CLst2Asm was originally written to help create Reloader, a BOOTLOADER
reprogrammer. It is useful beyond that for anyone that owns the CCS
C compiler for PICs.

BotLoader
Download
Complete Package (BotLoader, BotLdrCmd, and Instructions)
Download Latest BotLoader
(just BotLoader.exe)
A port of BotLoader to Windows CE by www.apexrobotics.com
is also available.
In conjunction with Rick Farmer's PICLOADER,
this program makes it easy to upload Hex files to a Flash-based PIC
microcontroller. No need for Hyperterminal anymore!
Advanced features include:
- automatically finds PICLOADER on any serial port
- drag-n-drop a hex file onto BotLoader (either while running or
as an icon on the desktop)
- paste the hex file into BotLoader (while running)
- built in terminal so you don't need to leave BotLoader to see
debug output
View the readme.txt file for more
information.

BotLdrCmd
Download
Latest BotLdrCmd (just BotLdrCmd.exe)
Similar to BotLoader, this command line program integrates well with
automatic build scripts (make files, batch files, Ant scripts, etc.).
And, it includes a built-in text-mode terminal.

CLst2Asm
Download
Complete Package (CLst2Asm and Instructions)
Download
Latest CLst2Asm (just CLst2Asm.exe)
Ever need to tweek the assembly language output of the CCS C compiler,
but all they give you is a listing file? Never fear! CLst2Asm will convert
CCS listing files to .ASM files compatible with Microchip Technologies'
MPLAB.
Here's the readme.txt file for
CLst2Asm.

Reloader
Download
Complete Package
(Reloaders for PICLOADER 1.1 and 1.3 *for 8K PARTS ONLY*,
plus PICLOADER 1.1 and 1.3 themselves, and Instructions)
Download PICLOADER 1.1
(Rick Farmer's PIC bootloader for use with other languages)
Download PICLOADER 1.3
for 8K flash memory parts (Rick Farmer's PIC bootloader for use with
CCS C, for PIC16F876 or PIC16F877)
Download PICLOADER 1.3
for 4K flash memory parts (like the 28 pin PIC16F873 or 40 pinPIC16F874)
NOTE: the 4K PICLOADER is for reference only;
Reloader only works with 8K parts at present!
If you use CCS C as well as other languages (JAL, CHBASIC, etc.), you
are probably tired of needing to either tweek the output of one tool
chain or the other or replace the chip with another one programmed with
the correct version of PICLOADER. Details concerning how to use Reloader
are available in reloader.txt.
Reloader is a simple program which runs in the user space of a PIC,
and is used to replace PICLOADER with a different version.
The versions of Rick Farmer's PICLOADER posted here are for 20MHz oscillators;
38400 baud serial connections, and do not enable the watchdog timer.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! IF THE BOOLOADER REPLACEMENT
FAILS, YOU WILL NEED A HARDWARE-BASED PIC PROGRAMMER TO FIX IT!
