Re: some more bootldr work

Hi Alex,

That sounds great! Have you thought about how we can get the bootldr 
installed without JTAG? (or can you already install bootldr with 
serload?) We'll probably need a program similar to Bootblaster I would 
suppose. Or Jürgen and Walter will have to release a "transition" 
bootloader that will allow overwriting with the new bootldr. After the 
bootldr has been installed once updating should be no problem. That is, 
of course, if it works like the bootldr in my iPAQ. Then we could use 
net, cf or lrzsz to transfer images to the pad, right?
