pk2cmd

Simplified entry trace in pseudo-C:

main()
pk2app.PK2_CMD_Entry(argc, argv);
checkHelp(argc, argv);
PicFuncs.ReadDeviceFile(tempString);
Pk2OperationCheck(argc, argv);  // check if conn is necessary
findPICkit2(pk2UnitIndex);  // find pk2 and init comm
processArgs(argc, argv);  // execute commands
PicFuncs.ReadPkStatus();  // only if it did comm

the beef is in processArgs()

PicFuncs.VddOff();  // make sure VDD is off
// look for part name first
PicFuncs.FindDevice(tempString); // look for the device in the device file

// from then on, process args according to 4 priorities
// these are in cmd_app.cpp and take you directly to the action
priority1Args(argc, argv);
checkArgsForBlankCheck(argc, argv);
priority2Args(argc, argv);
priority3Args(argc, argv);
priority4Args(argc, argv);
delayArg(argc, argv);


Examples:
program a .hex file:

tom@zzz:/tmp$ pk2cmd -pPIC18F1220 -fsynth.hex -m
PICkit 2 Program Report
4-9-2008, 13:32:55
Device Type: PIC18F1220

Program Succeeded.

Operation Succeeded


this contains options:

-p   device
-f   hex file selection:

// in cmd_app.cpp
bool Ccmd_app::priority1Args(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
     	case 'f':
	     	ret = ImportExportFuncs.ImportHexFile(tempString, &PicFuncs);

-m   program memory

// in cmd_app.cpp
bool Ccmd_app::priority2Args(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
// -M Program
if ((checkSwitch(argv[i])) && ((argv[i][1] == 'M') || (argv[i][1] == 'm')) && ret){
  if (hexLoaded) {
     if (argv[i][2] == 0)
     { // no specified region - erase then program all
       if (PicFuncs.FamilyIsEEPROM()) {}  // ignoring eeprom programming
       else {
         bool rewriteEE = PicFuncs.EraseDevice(true, !preserveEEPROM, &usingLowVoltageErase);
         if (PicFuncs.FamilyIsPIC32()) {}  // ignore PIC32 programming
         else {
         // program all but configs and verify, as configs may contain code protect
         // code here mainly calls PicFuncs.WriteDevice
         }
       }
     }
  }
}


// finally, in PICkitFunctions.cpp
bool CPICkitFunctions::WriteDevice(bool progmem, bool eemem, bool uidmem, bool cfgmem, bool useLowVoltageRowErase)

// this function contains the main programming flow:

// compute configration information.
int configLocation = (int)DevFile.PartsList[ActivePart].ConfigAddr /
            DevFile.Families[ActiveFamily].ProgMemHexBytes;
int configWords = DevFile.PartsList[ActivePart].ConfigWords;
int endOfBuffer = DevFile.PartsList[ActivePart].ProgramMem;

SetMCLR(true);     // assert /MCLR to prevent code execution before programming mode entered.
VddOn();

// ignoring some device specific things (OSCCAL/Keeloq/PIC24/
RunScript(SCR_PROG_ENTRY, 1);
if () {
   DownloadAddress3(0);
   RunScript(SCR_PROGMEM_WR_PREP, 1);
}
while data {
  DataClrAndDownload(downloadBuffer, DOWNLOAD_BUFFER_SIZE, 0);
  RunScript(SCR_PROGMEM_WR, scriptRunsToUseDownload);
}

// The functions called here are very simple wrappers around
// writeUSB() that build a command packet.


// programming EEPROM DEVID and CONFIG is similar
