Open source PBP bootloader

[cncmachineguy]

Ok, just got done reading AN851. This doesn't seem too hard to implement in PBP. Is anyone intrested? If so, what do you think of this as a starting point?

[PJALM]

I was planning on making a PBP Serial/USB/I2C/SD/Ethernet Bootloader but never got around to starting it yet. I guess now is a good time

PJALM, That sounds pretty awesome, and aggressive!

After doing some googling, There is at least 1 open source python interface out there to talk to AN851 BL. I like that approach, Python I mean, then we have multiplatform available.

Ok, we have 2 responses so far. I have no idea how to tend to the logistics of this - meaning making it a group effort- or if we just contribuite code until we get something working. Baring any other suggestions, I will start to port AN851 to PBP.

We will also need TESTERS!!!

This is where I am so far. I am sure there are some errors, but what are friends for?

Well it formats much better in notepad++. well I tried to attach the code, but had some issues there. but for now, the code is as I wrote it, just the comments are messed up.
