Easiest (and cheapest) interface.

Okay, here's the deal.  I'm a ME major at the University of Utah, 
and I'm developing a controller board for several robots we have 
here.  I will be using the MPC565.  This has really been a learning 
experience.  I'm modeling my board after some of the more simple 
evaluation boards.  My first (many are likely to follow) question is 
this:

What is the most user-friendly way to download code to the processor?

Expanded:  I am only familiar with the HC11, and I know that the 
MPC565 has no bootstrap mode.  Is there a bootloader I can implement 
in processor flash to accept serially transmitted code and save it 
to external flash or ram?

I know that a wiggler will work, but they're surprisingly 
expensive.  A less expensive option would be better for the budget.

I realize this is quite a leap for me to try to take, but processing 
needs have escalated to the point where only the 565 will do.  If 
any of you could refer me to helpful websites, I would appreciate 
it.  Thanks in advance!
