Issue 14: Validation process
http://code.google.com/p/jallib/issues/detail?id=14

Comment #8 by robhamerling:
During testing of about 60 PICs with their respective blink-an-LED sample  
programs I
encountered several errors or omissions in the device files.
Causes: (1) errors in MPLAB files, (2) deviations between MPLAB and  
datasheets, (3)
inconsistencies in the naming of registers, (4) complex descriptions of  
fuse bits (5)
errors in the dev2jal script, ....
When problems arise with this very simple blink-an-led program, more  
problems may be
expected when testing other PICs. So it would be best test all PICs!

For the baseline and midrange I'm confident the tests cover almost the  
whole range
and the quality of these device files is pretty good. But I'm not so  
convinced this
applies to the 18F family: relatively few have been tested and these PICs  
are much
more complex. On the other hand this family it much better structured.  
Testing is
somewhat more difficult because the larger PICs do not come in PDIP package.

Well, this may not be very constructive for the validation process, but I  
wanted to
log my test experiences....
