Title: Internet bootloader on Web Platform ?!
Post by: megabug on March 23, 2011, 12:02:39 pm
Hi,

I was wondering if anybody has tried an internet bootloader on the webplatform?! The one I found from microchip is for the 18f97j60 chip. I found some commercial bootloaders, but nothing free.

It would be very nice to automatically load a firmware every reboot if a new file is on a tftp or something.


thanks in advance.

PS: I just ordered my web platform and I am interested in testing it out. I was to lazy to make my own board, have already worked with 18f97j60 with internal ethernet. My own ethernet board currently controls my lights at home.

Hi megabug,

I have also run into the same problem. I used the 18F67J50 in a project once because I wanted the ethernet bootloader, but it had the 100 write cycle limitation so it wasn't much fun for development.

I don't know of any free/open ethernet bootloaders that will work from the PIC chip with external ENC28J60 chip. It would be cool, but I don't know of any.
