An easy PDK programmer for inexpensive PADAUK microcontrollers
Free PDK is an open sourced and independently created tool-chain for Padauk 8-bit microcontrollers, created as an alternative to the proprietary and closed tools provided by the Taiwanese company itself.
This includes the EasyPDKProg µC programmer hardware, adding support for the Padauk µCs to the SDCC C-Compiler, as well as comprehensive documentation of the instruction set architecture, and code examples.
The main focus is on supporting µCs of two Padauk series:
M series OTP (OTP = one time programmable)
F series MTP (MTP = multiple time programmable)
Padauk µCs are extremely inexpensive, priced as low as $0.03/pc in volumes of 100, which is why they generated a lot of interest in the hardware community.
