I will test the system with a PIC18F46K22 microcontroller. My system: 2010 Acer Laptop, Linux Mint 19.3 (Linux kernal 5.3.0-46-generic), and official Microchip PICkit2 programmer with firmware version 2.32.00. On Windows I'd just use the official PICkit2 V2.61 GUI software with an updated device file. You can, however, use PICkit3 and PICkit4 with MPLAB X, but PICkit4 is expensive and my old laptop struggles to run MPLAB X. The PICkit2 hardware programmer is now long obsolete, so why use it? Because cheap PICkit2 clones are available on Amazon and Ebay, and alongside the pk2cmd software it is a simple way to programme Microchip PIC microcontrollers on Linux. This page will focus on pk2cmd on Linux, and associated device files. Both depend upon a separate device file that defines which PICs can be programmed. The Microchip PICkit2 hardware programmer for PIC microcontrollers uses either PICkit2 V2.61 for Windows or the pk2cmd command line software that can be compiled on Linux and Mac OS.
