Hi Gus,

I can't follow your problems

1. If the 1000 device are unmounted, return them to your disti and get
a replacement with the actual bootloader.  
Here in Germany I had the bootloader problem very early in june and
get help from Philips.
My disti Spoerle told me that they return all devices on stock back to
Philips for reprogramming.

2. If your devices are mounted on the PCB. Edit the bootloader hex
file and enter your clock freq. and you must not enter the value again
in the ISP tool for every single device.

3. Why you don't put your bootloader and your firmware in one hex file
for download and load both at the same time.

Why you don't write your own tool for your production line that do all
in one step?

Andreas
