An AppImage enables the development team to package the PKCMD-LX application for common Linux operating systems, e.g., Ubuntu, Debian, openSUSE, RHEL, CentOS, Fedora etc. Using an AppImage enables the development team to provide native binaries for Linux users the same way we do for other operating systems. PKCMD-LX provides the best experience for the Linux user, developers and the professional developer community, and as a command-line utility is can be easily integrated into users scripts. PKCMD-LX can be used for reading and writing Microchip’s PIC range of microcontrollers, using the Pickit 2 or Pickit 3 device programmers. But, these are exciting developments for the software as it shows what can be with the PK2 and PK3 programmers! This is the Personal Computer version, designed to run on flavours of Linux, both 32 and 64 bit. We are very pleased to announce the release of the Linux version of PKCMD: PKCMD-LX.
