 		 #146653 - Bootloader
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Shehryar Shaukat said:
now i will research bootloaders as you have instructed. alternatively i would have to build separate stand alone executables...

That's not an alternative; that is what a bootloader does!

The bootloader simply loads the image into memory - then runs it;
the application doesn't know that it's been loaded by a bootloader - as far as the application is concerned, it can't tell that it isn't permanently burned into ROM!

This is exactly the same principle as used when downloading code through a serial link - so include "In-Application Programming" (IAP) in your research...
