Hi
For those of us building the Colour Maximite from scratch
here is the dat file required to program the PIC32MX795F512L
with a PicKit 2
Select the PIC32 family manually. You will receive an error about memory space
this can be safely ignored

I have programmed my 2 boards with success

John, have you tried pic32prog? It programs all PIC32 except MX1 and MX2.

Is a software for your Pickit2, designed by the author of retrobsd project.Edited by vasi 2012-10-04

Latest version of pic32prog supports all PIC32 families, including MX1/MX2.

Thanks Serge, that is a great news! I have a MX2 board, waiting for a long time for a Pickit 3... Never intended to get one. Thanks again!

P.S. He, he, I think now I can try to "override" the USB bootloader which occupy 16Kb flash, with a serial one of only 3Kb... exactly the allocated boot zone (Microchip sources if I'm not mistaken).Edited by vasi 2012-10-04

This is for @elproducts...
Here is a better PK2DeviceFile.dat editor, made in C#, as the last version of Pickit2 PC software which I don't have (the sources).

Thanks, I'll check it out.

For anyone interested, I dedicate a page for building your own PICkit 2 with all the latest info and support I can find though I focus on supporting the 8-bit family of PICs. It works so well with Great Cow Basic so I incorporated it into the IDE I offer at Greatcowbasic.com.

What about a single side DIY PCB in KiCAD?

And the gerber files displayed inside gerbv linux app.
