Microchip USB bootloader?

Sorry if this is an FAQ, but is it possible to use the Microchip USB bootloader with Swordfish?

TIA,

As it stands no

SF has not implemented and offset program start yet

Is that a particularly big job? Or better still: is it in the works?

The issue Dave has with ORG is that you have to do a lot to overcome other associated issues not first envisaged.

However an offset program start should be really dead easy, I see no reason for it not to be done.

I'm using the microchip USB bootloader at the moment.

I wrote a proceedure for doing this in this thread.

In built swordfish support would still be really nice!

I checked out your instructions, thanks. That might get me through for the moment.

I agree that built-in support would be awesome... *hint*

Any way we can get a Swordfish developer to commit to a date for USB bootloader support?

Not at the moment - we are working on other things...
