This is the original Microchip's PICkit3 Programmer Application that has been ported to Linux. Most of the code stills the same, some changes include:

• Replace native calls to Windows USB API for the cross-platform HidSharp;
• Fix Windows-like file paths and manual path build;

• for building: sudo apt install -y mono-complete
• for execute: sudo apt install -y mono-runtime

Restore Nuget packages and build: make build or only make

Installation uses /opt/microchip/pickit3 as the target directory and covers:

• Copy build output and extra files to the target directory;
• Copy udev rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/;
• Create a link to pickit3 in /usr/local/bin/pickit3

To install just run: sudo make install
