features built into Microchip’s Enhanced FLASH Microcontroller devices is the capability of the program memory to self-program. This very useful feature has been deliberately included to give the user the ability to perform bootloading operations. Devices like the PIC18F458 are designed with a designated “boot block”, a small section of protectable program memory allocated specifically for bootload firmware.
This application note demonstrates a simple bootloader implementation for the PIC18F families of micro Programming a Running System controllers with a CAN module. The goals of this implementation are to stress maximum performance An interesting situation is bootloading in an active and and functionality, while requiring a minimum of code functioning system. In this instance, one or more of the space. For users developing CAN enabled systems, it nodes are taken off-line to update their firmware, yet provides a low level framework that can be used .. with the functionality of the...
