Just wondering if anyone knows of any PIC Programming software for the Windows Mobile platform that supports ICSP a "JDM" style ICSP cable.

I have tried WinPic800, ICProg, WinPIC, PICPgm - and although these all support my "RS232 to ICSP" JDM style cable, they also all require a Laptop to run.

I would really like to find a way to use my PDA instead.

Cheers,
Ralph Parkhurst.

Hi,

Just put a bootloader in the pic and then program it using serialdata only. Then you dont even need a programmer once the bootloader is programmed.

This way any serial device can be used. there is only one IF... If you dont need to change the config bits since they usually require a programmer.

Thanks for your Jumper. Yes, a bootloader was my fallback option - just thought I'd check if someone had seen a "PDA" programming app first. But the more I think about it a bootloader might be better.
