Anyone found a Bootloader for 18F26K22?

[Dave]

Well Henrik, Where do I start? I left a request for a new bootloader file to Microcode Studio a few weeks ago. That's when I posted "Anyone found a Bootloader for 18F26K22?" I havent heard anything for the last week or so. I just purchased PBP3 last week. I was contacted by David Barker in responce to my email about a bootload hex file for the 18F26K22. He had mentioned that he was writing an open source hex file generator for the Microcode studio bootloader program and if I would like to test the beta version. So I have been working with him for the last 2 days getting it working and some verification. You will need to get an updated version of the UMCLoader.exe as he made a few changes to it. It is now 1.0.0.1. I have also made a few changes to the template for the open source .asm build file to be used with MPLAB to generate the .hex bootload file for the processor. I suppose the update will be available soon for the purchased MCSPX package. I would email Microcode studio and see when it will be available.

That sounds excelent! During my own short research I did try to run the UMC loader application (UMCLoader.exe) but when I ran it nothing at all happend so I thought it was internal to the standard MCLoader application or something.

Are you saying it's a stand alone application for the open source firmware? If so I wonder why it doesn't run on my machine - perhaps I just need the new version you mention.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the information - I'll keep my eyes and ears open for any information that may surface.
