For Linux, Microchip ships the <strong>pk2cmd</strong> command-line tool as source code only, so you have to build it yourself. The steps below were tested on Debian 13 (Trixie, gcc 14) and also work on Debian 10–12 and Debian-based distributions (Ubuntu, Mint, Raspberry Pi OS).</p>https://electronic-lab.net/en/tutorials/minipro-tl866-linux/Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://electronic-lab.net/en/tutorials/minipro-tl866-linux/<p>The XGecu MiniPRO TL866 is a popular, inexpensive universal programmer for EPROMs, EEPROMs, flash memories, microcontrollers and GAL chips. The manufacturer only ships Windows software, but on Linux the open-source command-line tool <strong>minipro</strong>, developed by David Griffith, works very well. The steps below were tested on Debian 13 (Trixie, gcc 14) and also work on older Debian releases and Debian-based distributions (Ubuntu, Mint, Raspberry Pi OS).</p>
