Hi All,

I've heard about bootloaders for the last 14 years but never tried myself because I didn't have really the need for it.

Today, still the same, no real need...but I'm curious to now how it works

I found this on Microchip's site:https://www.microchip.com/promo/8-bit-bootloader

Is it something I "can" start with or is it already a "complicated" tool that will give me some more sleepless nights until I give up?

If it is worth a try, can anyone give me the "initial kick" to get a good start? I mean, what do I need (tools, programs, whatsoever...) to make things start the right way?
