For my upcoming computerized induction heater product, I needed a way
to add a serial number to each processor as it was programmed.
Unfortunately only the more expensive production programmers support
serialization for the AT90PWM316 that I'm using. Given that my
production run will probably be about 50 units at a time, no way was I
going to drop that kind of dough on a gang programmer.
So I did what any self-respecting programmer would do, I wrote a
little program to generate serial numbers and feed 'em to AVRDUDE, the
freeware AVR programmer software. Said little program also keeps
track of the serial numbers in a database with time and date stamping.
It's a Linux program (MAYBE would compile in Cygwin under winders) and
should work with any command line programmer so you poor PIC dudes
should also be able to use it.
It's available here:

Totally freeware, of course.
