Re: CH341a SPI / I²C programmer
Yeah, this is true, but I meant there's probably no native Linux versions. We can run Windows programs using WINE as well. Personally, I prefer native apps.
If I'm going to write a program, I try to write it for Windows and Linux users. I do most of my development in Linux, funny though, when I write here, most of the time it's on my wife's machine, which runs <eek> Windows 10!
But it's good to have a 10 machine. Got 7 in a virtual machine on the server, and I run KVM. Thinking of maybe switching though. Having a lot of issues with it supporting the host CPU. I have to pick a CPU with less options.
I think this is because of some microcode updates and the way KVM works. It relies on some package developed by someone else who hasn't updated something or something along those lines. I tried finding a work-around but never really got far.
I run CentOS 7 on the server right now. Once I started using the VirtIO driver for the hard drive, things where much faster. Got the NIC in using the VirtIO driver as well, but changed it from 10Gbps to 1Gbps.
Kinda regretting going for the cheaper cat 6 ethernet cables. I'm almost tempted to buy the really expensive stuff and use that. The stuff that's real smooth and not plastic feeling like. I dunno.
Wish I could get my wife interested in this project I'm working on so I can get rid of the few people who have joined. She knows AutoCAD and it probably wouldn't take her much to learn KiCAD. Eagles out the window now, which is too bad. We'll be using the CH341A to program some of the chips, and the PicKit3 for the rest I guess, so it's kinda on topic to this post.
