Re: ds30 bootloader
It future proofs firmware, allowing updating by end-users after the PIC is installed in a device and the device is out in the field which might be halfway around the planet. But, I guess the forward looking programmers here never need to to do that. It's also why things like Arduino and PICAXE have become so popular.Originally Posted by Ioannis

Re: ds30 bootloader
Hmm, take into account that bootloader does not lock your code. Normally...
@Steve: I did update/hack my DVD Pioneer player that way. Now plays also mkv I think!

Re: ds30 bootloader
My first use of a bootloader turned out more hassle then it was worth, but lately I have been working on a USB device. It has proved very nice to be able to update with a BL for that. No need to keep the programer AND USB plugged in.
