Bootloader

18Xxxx Bootloader

Introduction

This bootloader will activate on each reset. If communication with the PC
is not established within 4 seconds, control is passed to the remapped reset
vector at address 0x0200. The high priority reset vector is remapped to address
0x0208. Memory from 0x0000 to 0x01FF is reserved for bootloader code. The low
priority interrupt will be implemented in a future version.
