Hello,
I want to buy a firewing board mainly for use with PIC32. Does the PIC32 board accept also PIC24 chips?

The new R2 revision of Firewing PIC32 can also support the PIC24 microcontroller, but you will need to load the bootloader on the PIC24.

octal - any chance we might see an MPLABX plugin for Firewing, at least for the pic24 series?

Hi bitfogav,
thank you very much.

Hi Jerry,
I really want to do it, but I need some help from David. I hope he will be able to dedicate some time to that (I need some more info about the executables parameters for each platform supported by Firewing).

I have a feature request if it's not too much work...

Could you have the plugin support the XC16 toolsuite?

If there's anything I can help out with just ask.

I just ordered a PIC18 and PIC32 firewing boards. I hope to receive the R2 boards (sorry I didn't checked the description when I have done the order).
