Can i jtag slim with this? or I have to use the nandpro 3 using LPC2148?

thanks

Really guys, I want to say thanks for all this, it works perfectly and I used it already on 3 different boxes, even bricked ones and it works! Can't say how much work you saved me and its 1000 times more reliable than the LPT version. Just Thanks!!!

PS:here a pic of mine, doesn't look nice but its reliable: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/855/1003505e.jpg/

To get your PIC working with NandPro3, just change in your Flasher.c the following line:

#define VERSION_RETURN 1 to #define VERSION_RETURN 3

and re-program your PIC. This would make your PIC compatible with NandPro3 (i.e. wont throw "Incompatible" error), although keep in mind you'll lose compatibility with older versions (v2.0).

Note: This change would only skip the version check and in no way adds new functionality, i tested NandPro3 and it appear that works correctly with the 3.2b source (Git), but as i don't have the LPC source i can't say that the PIC's are fully compatible with NandPro3.

Yes. Anything with a JTAG pinout, and the correct software, you can read.

PIC 18f2455 (or other PIC) can work with nandpro3? That means flashing CPLD with it? Would be quite nice as I wouldn't be forced to buy the NandX, or forced to keep using my scary parallel port amalgamation.

Actually simple version check wont cut it as i forgot to test different write modes and no it doesn't allow you to flash SVF/XSVF to you CPLD

If you can't flash CPLD with it...I fail to see the point? Just use 2.0e.

If you need CPLD flashing software - implement it, i have the LPT cable built and i don't need a PIC to flash my CPLD. The point was to use one version for everything, not keep switching between them for different tasks.

I know this is kinda of an old thread , but I'm trying to build one of these and struggling with programming my chip (pic18f2455) i have a willems pcb45 and hooked the chip up as in the picture provided by ReverseAffect , i can read from the chip , but cant write picxboot to it , just says "error program memory at 0x000000 anyone know got any suggestions ?

This chip is maybe dead?... I have a few bad pics that are dead and act the same.
