Bootloader self protection and automatic file update
Posted: 26 Dec 2011 13:32
Hi,
it would be great if the bootloader would refuse to overwrite itself.
I'm on vacation and didn't bring my burner. My program got so big that it reached into the bootloader memory location and the bootloader excepted that and overwrote itself. Now I'm stuck and can't work on my project any more till I get home.
It would also be great if the PC program would automaticaly load the latest version HEX file for each upload. It is quite nagging to have to select the same file again and again while developing new versions.
I think the better sequence for the buttons in the PC program would be "Select", "Connect", "Upload".
Thanks
Andreas
