pk2cmd is only for PICkit 2 which is an HID device for the default configuration. It actually has two configurations and the alternative configuration is a generic USB device. I have not tried it under OpenBSD and not so sure if it can use the alternative configuration. Not so sure if there is a port of hidapi under OpenBSD. Ref: http://www.signal11.us/oss/hidapi/ We at the libusb project now recommend HIDAPI for generic USB HID device like PICKit 2. https://github.com/libusb/libusb/wiki/FAQ#Does_libusb_support_HID_devices When Jeff Post worked with Microchip developer to get pk2cmd to work under Linux, there was no HIDAPI, only libusb-0.1. I was involved heavily at that time to get pk2cmd to work under Linux and I actually got pk2cmd to work under FreeBSD last time. https://github.com/psmay/pk2cmd/blob/master/pk2cmd/ReadmeMakefile.txt > And another soft (pic32prog) which also uses libusb seems to only detect > the device when it is attached as uhid. > I'll try to take a look into libusb. pic32prog seems to supports different USB interface but many of them uses HID interface. pk2cmd code github mirror (license not considered to be open source). https://github.com/psmay/pk2cmd The Linux backend for pk2cmd is this one. https://github.com/psmay/pk2cmd/blob/master/pk2cmd/pk2usb.cpp I have submitted kernel patch to Linux kernel to blacklist PICkit 2 under Linux so it is not attached to the kernel HID driver.
