Hi, successfully running the programmer on several Pi and windows via wsl2. For usability it might come in handy to introduce a new switch to select banks in a more verbose way. e.g. mxprog -b 1 -w xy.bin for programming bank 1. A gui would be great too, maybe we could come up with a simple web gui.

Are you okay with group buys? Couldn't find licensing info so over at a1k I started an Info thread on the programmer including the link to the git and ordered a test run of ten of which I initially gave 4 to different testers.
I had no issues myself but for the rest we would likely distribute a vmware linux image with precompiled binaries alongsides the programmer.

Thanks for the great work!

Best,

Thorsten

Hello Thorsten, I appreciate you reaching out and asking. A new -b option for the bank number would be great. For a write or verify, it could compute the written address based on a multiple of the detected input file size. For a read, it could be a multiple of the read length. I'll see what I can do to make this happen.

Regarding a GUI, I'd be fine with someone else implementing a wrapper around mxprog or reusing mxprog source to do this, and would happily take that in a Pull request.

I am okay with group buys. and am perfectly fine with builders making a nominal profit. There is a minimal page which does give some minimal information on how to load firmware on the programmer and command line usage for mxprog: http://eebugs.com/mx29f1615/

I will leave this issue report open until the new "-b" option is committed.

Added -b option to mxprog so that a bank for programming may be specified.
