My concern is that "my clock" must be preprogramed in philips 
bootloader!!! That is one of the step in updating philips bootloader 
document. How would philips program indivisual chip according to 
your system? Unless I missid out on something!

I missing on something here, what value over write the other? WE 
have "clock freq" inside hex file and there is "clock freq" in our 
code!!

We did that already.

Working on it.......to me, it seems to be an extra work for other 
people's (philips) mistakes.
