gputils Development utilities for Microchip (TM) PIC (TM) microcontrollers

This is a collection of development tools for Microchip (TM) PIC (TM) microcontrollers. This is ALPHA software: there may be serious bugs in it, and it's nowhere near complete. gputils currently only implements a subset of the features available with Microchip's tools. See the documentation for an up-to-date list of what gputils can do.
