None yet but I will use olimex tiny jtag device. I will need to make a little adapter for it since the connector doesn't have the same pinout. At this point I am just studying the subject. According to the Microchip flash programming documentation, the best approach would be to use the Programming Executive. The programming executive is available as part of the programmer that Microchip has released the source. Obviously I can't tag that with the source of OpenOCD but will compile it in to make the binary.

He can't erase the whole thing so that makes it useless for now. As I look at the code I see that most of the code is commented out so I assumed that it is not working code. That was the reason I asked on this newsletter to see if there is more work done that appears to be.
