thnx for replying mister-e but wat i really meant was has anyone tried or isit possible to code a bootloader file in picbasic pro. i haf been trying to make a bootloader referring to microchip's pdf file an732( ithink thts the rite number). the example given was in assembly and i've seen lots of bootloader examples written in C as well just wandering if its possible to code it in pic basic pro. if it is can u show me an example by communicating just using hyper terminal.
