Hi.
If it were your project, what would you implement for field programming by users of an '877 based circuit? A complete bootloader, just basic downloader code, or a cheap, low parts count on-board programmer circuit like a JDM or Tait? ... other options?
I'm leaning toward bootloader. A few hundred words in an 877? Who cares? But an on-board programmer would be good; no matter what happens to the code you can always flash it. (like the bootloader writes over itself or something weird.)
But again:
<--- clueless
Thanks.
