Hello.
Is such thing possible?
Say I have PIC16F877 hooked to 24C32. Theres some "bootloader" in 877, which reads picbasic code from 24C32 and executes it. Is such thing possible?

I'd say yes, but you're gonna need duct tape too. :D
There's probably a way to do it as long as the eeprom can store the hex file. I just have no clue how'd you go about doing the programming trigger, or transfer the data. Doesn't a bootloader expect input from a serial connection? Eeprom are often I2C or possibly another protocol.
My "total" guess is that you'd need another microprocessor to handle the transfer.
