"Werner Almesberger" patch, which adds a "--slow" argument. Long serial cables and/or JDM programmers seem to need this, my gear (olimex, 6' serial, 16f88's) refuses to work right without it... this is the blurb from the picprog webpage Long cables, different values on capacitors and resistors, and differences on sertial ports can cause very long signal rise and fall times. The JDM device is sensitive to that, and mostly is designed to be connected directly to computer or with very short cable. The sensitivity also depends on the PIC chip type. It may help to stretch the delays in Picprog to allow for longer signal settling times. For example this patch by Werner Almesberger, picprog-1.7-werner-almesberger.diff, gives good example on how to accomodate longer delays. Larger delays are needed also for the uJDM programmer device. additionally, I changed the default device from ttyS0 to cuaa0 (seems to be the first serial on my 5.4 box, tho my 6 box says cuad0)
State Changed From-To: open->closed Committed, thanks!
