I believe the user software downloads a set of programming parameters
and the file to be programmed rather than driving the programmer
directly or otherwise do low level hardware stuff. I am going to ask
Xeltek if they will give a refund if I can't get the unit working in
a reasonable time. If it doesn't work I would otherwise be out of
$1500. I will not use Windows.
There's a downloadable version of the software on the site. If that
works acceptably, the final hurdle would be whether it can communicate
with the programmer by USB. The site says it's USB 2.0 and installs
drivers on Windows, which doesn't bode well for the Wine/FreeBSD
setup. It may work, although you have to expect that any support call
will blame problems on the non-standard setup.
It might be easier to start with open software and choose a programmer
that is supported by it. For instance, devel/avrdude supports some
faster programmers. Depends on what you need.

Hi Warren,
I will try installing the Xeltek software as you suggest and go from
there. If I get it to work ok I will post what I did.
I use 680x0 and 8051 so the avr program isn't useful at this time. I
need to program SPLDs and flash.
Best regards,
Fred
