pk2cmd for Linux and Mac

[Jeff]

Microchip has released the latest version of pk2cmd (v1.10.0) with builds for
Linux and Mac OSX.

The code has been tested on Red Hat, CentOS, Ubuntu and Fedora. It partially
works on FreeBSD but there are some problems with the USB stack in FreeBSD.
If anyone knows how to work around the FreeBSD problems, or can build and
test on other non-Microsoft platforms, please let me know.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff, I've already downloaded, compiled and tested the published
version in Mac OS X 10.5.3. It rocks!

Once again, thanks a lot for your work in behalf of the community.

Att,

One of the possibility is to use ugen API and not libusb for FreeBSD and
the other BSDs (like NetBSD and OpenBSD).

I have actually tried NetBSD along with my FreeBSD pk2cmd testing.
It works once and then hang at the 2nd time. Looks like a USB
stack or libusb-bsd problem.

But I am not a programmer and I am not that familiar with
FreeBSD/NetBSD even though I can run them and rebuilding the
programs/kernels comfortably.
