This project's scope is dealing with the firmware within the TL866 itself. It includes software for dumping, reprogramming, and manipulating the firmware. Schematics and discussion of internal operations are also here.

These programs are not for using the TL866 to read and write chips. Use https://github.com/vdudouyt/minipro for that.

Installation of the TL866 Updater on Linux

Install build dependencies

Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config git libusb-1.0-0-dev libqt4-dev

Checkout source code and compile

git clone https://github.com/radiomanV/TL866
cd TL866/QT
qmake
make
sudo cp TL866_Updater /usr/local/bin

Udev configuration (recommended)

If you want to access the programmer as a regular user, you'll have to configure udev to recognize the programmer and set appropriate access permissions. These are the same rules as are available with https://github.com/vdudouyt/minipro. If you already installed the rules there, you don't need to do it again here.

Debian/Ubuntu

sudo cp udev/debian/60-minipro.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo udevadm trigger

You'll also have to add your regular user to the plugdev system group:

sudo usermod -a -G plugdev YOUR-USER

Note that this change will only become effective after your next login.

CentOS 7

sudo cp udev/centos7/80-minipro.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

The CentOS rules file currently make the programmer device writable for all users.
