pyedbglib 2.10.0.43

Low-level protocol library for communicating with Microchip CMSIS-DAP based debuggers

pyedbglib

pyedbglib is a low-level protocol library for communicating with Microchip CMSIS-DAP based debuggers

Usage

pyedbglib does not provide any end-user functionality on its own. It is implemented according to the "Atmel EDBG-based Tools Protocols" document although the code and the documentation may not always be in sync. pyedbglib is intended to be used by Python applications communicating with Microchip target devices via Microchip CMSIS-DAP based debuggers.

The following Atmel/Microchip debuggers are supported:

• JTAGICE3 (only firmware version 3.x)
• Atmel-ICE
• Power Debugger
• EDBG
• mEDBG
• nEDBG / PKoB nano
• MPLAB PICkit 4 ICD (only when in 'AVR mode')
• MPLAB Snap ICD (only when in 'AVR mode')

Not all debuggers support all protocols or functions within them.

Linux systems

HIDAPI needs to build using packages: libusb-1.0.0-dev, libudev-dev

Create udev rules for the debuggers:

Example udev rules file
Store in /etc/udev/rules.d
