hexload
What it is
Hexload is yet another tool for uploading firmware to small devices, its goals are:
- memory effective
- excessive use of malloc()
- fast
- merging of intel-hex records and making use of buffers
- small
- the hexload binary is about 20k in size
- modular
- use custom loaders for different devices
The program is devided into 2 parts, the main executable, which reads command line parameters and the firmware, and the so called loader, a modul that pumps the data into our device.
You can browse the whole folder.

avr
avr-spi-ftdi
Programming of AVR- devices via SPI by using the bit-banging mode of an USB-ftdi-UART chip (USB 2 serial converter).
The programmer isn't that fast (nearly 1kBytes per second) but quite flexible (parallel programming is possible too) and tiny (about 10x15mm).
Thats my first loader, it also provides some header files for implementing SPI- programming for other interfaces.
