{Definitely Spam?} [lpc2000] Re: FLASH Security

Dear Robert,

Referring to the boot loader supplied as monster is SPAM?  Really?

What I meant to say is that I do not like Philips boot loader because
it takes up 8K (too big for what it does) had an inconvenient method
for loading programs, so cumbersome that Philips had to provide boot
flash loading utility which in itself is too big for what it does.

The boot loader also trashes memory at locations I least expected.

I prefer my own loader (written in C, under 4K as 32-bit code, smaller
as 16-bit code), requires no more than Intel format hex files a simple
terminal emulator (Minicom, Hyperterm, etc) for downloading. You need
only copy and paste hex records onto the terminal emulator window to
download code into RAM (or FLASH) and run it.
