Thanks for your replies.

I guess the IAP functions is the best way of doing it. But.. that 
means that you have to write your own bootloader, both in the 
application (LPC2129) and for PC. I thought that I was going to 
start with using an ISP programmer (like Philips). But, I can't get 
the ISP-bootloader to start correctly. I have tried both ways of 
calling it, and i cant get it to work.

Now i consider of making my own bootloader, but this project im 
working on has a very short deadline.

So, does anyone knows a good way of calling ISP-bootloader from user 
code...
