PicPack 1.2 has been released! You'll need this version for the complete packet tutorial.
Many thanks to Peter Lawson in sunny South Australia who helped tirelessly getting the BoostBloader running on a new class of Pic chips. With his help, the BoostBloader now supports 16f88, 16f876a, 16f877a, 18f252, 18f452, 18f2620, and 18f4520. It should be quite easy to add other pics as well, I'll write a tutorial about doing that shortly.
Enjoy!

I'm interested in using PicPack with some of the newer generation of pic chips, like the 16f88x line. How complicated is it to add support for new chips to your software? Can you advise on how to do this? Thanks!!!
