CCS Bootloader
------------------------

This program is a Command Line program loader tool for the
CCS bootloader. For a GUI interface to load programs with
the CCS bootloader, choose Download Software from the File
menu in CCS' Serial Port Monitor tool. To put the CCS
Bootloader on a Microcontroller you already have, look at
EX_Bootloader.c in the PICC\Examples directory.


Installation
------------------------
The included ccsbootloader.exe is not an installer. This
executable should be unzipped to wherever you want. The
C:\Program Files\PICC directory is put in your PATH by
default, so placing ccsbootloader.exe there will allow
you to run it when you are not in the same directory as
ccsbootloader.exe.
