-Mindy is a port of [[:projects:mork|Mork]] which in turn is an adaptation of [[:projects:nanu-nanu|Nanu nanu]] Microchip PIC ICSP. This time Mindy is for PIC32 based boards such as the [[:boards:chipkitpi|chipKITPi]] and the [[:boards:sdxl|SDXL]].+This is a Microchip PIC32 ICSP (in circuit serial programmer) for PIC32 micro-controllers. Mindy allows a PIC32 to program the flash on a PIC32.

 This software was written by Darron M Broad and is an adaptation of [[:projects:pickle|Pickle Microchip PIC ICSP]]. This software was written by Darron M Broad and is an adaptation of [[:projects:pickle|Pickle Microchip PIC ICSP]].
  
 +Thanks go to Alan Ott and Signal 11 software who wrote m-stack, the PIC micro USB stack used by this application.
  
 === Install === === Install ===
  
-To-do+First install the [[:tools:xc32|MPIDE]] compiler. 
 + 
 +Fetch the source and build. 
 +<code> 
 +hg clone http://hg.kewl.org/pub/Mindy 
 +cd Mindy 
 +make 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +If you have a [[:boards:chipkitpi|chipKIT Pi]], you can program the firmware like this. Remember to enter bootload mode with the buttons. 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +make -f Makefile.mx250_ckpi program 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +For the MX270 on the [[:boards:chipkitpi|chipKIT Pi]], it's almost the same. 
 +<code> 
 +make -f Makefile.mx270_ckpi program 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +If you have a [[:boards:sdxl|SDXL]] do this. 
 +<code> 
 +make -f Makefile.sdxl program 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +If the above fail to install, then you probably need [[:projects:pickle|Pickle]] for the loader utility. If you prefer, you can use [[:tools:pic32prog|PIC32Prog]] and just select the correct hex file and interface. 
 +=== Set up === 
 +For the [[:boards:chipkitpi|chipKIT Pi]] the connections are as follows. 
 + 
 +{{:projects:mindy.png?200|}} 
 + 
 +On the SDXL, RB0 (A10) = PGC, RB1 (A11) = VPP, RB2 (A12) = PGD
  
 === Program === === Program ===
  
 +In this example, [[:tools:pic32prog|PIC32Prog]] is used to program a chip. This application also works in Windows if necessary.
 <code> <code>
 pic32prog -S -d /dev/ttyACM0 mx150.hex pic32prog -S -d /dev/ttyACM0 mx150.hex
