Hi, I don't really understand what you mean when you say it is not detected. Is it that - nothing happens when you connect it, or is that the usb device is not detected by the system? If you haven't done already, you can connect the board to the system and give command 'lsusb'. From there, you can check if the chip is detected.
As for programming, there are several solutions available, including use of the chip's bootloader. This forum thread is a good place to start: http://www.microchip.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=426427&mpage=1&key=񨏁 Also see: http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en023805&redirects=pickit2 Regards, Gokul Das On Jun 28, 12:16 am, Amarnath <[email protected]> wrote: > I am using Debian Lenny on my Dell Inspiron laptop.
