About This Book
This guide provides a detailed description of Freescale’s Embedded Bootloader and describes how to port Freescale’s Embedded Bootloader to a specific PCB/target..
The Embedded Bootloader is intended for use with the IEEE® 802.15.4 evaluation kits (EVK). However, it is possible to upload applications with the Embedded Bootloader in the development phase, but the Embedded Bootloader will not provide any debug functions.
The Embedded Bootloader provides an easy and inexpensive way to upload new firmware and eliminate the requirements for expensive debug/development tools. The only requirement is a standard PC with an RS232 UART/USB interface running Windows 2000 or XP.
The Embedded Bootloader must be used with the Zigbee Flash Tool which can be found in the Test Tool Suite ‘Test Tool.exe’.
This document describes Embedded Bootloader version 5.01.
Audience
This document is intended for application developers.
