It is a bootloader, so that code needs to be pre-installed. But it is so
obviously useful that I think Microchip will probably put it in an extra
ROM inside every future PIC chip. This would finally put programming in
reach of everyone who has the appropriate tools - in this case: a 5V
battery and an candle. Maybe uChip should add a buil-in thermopile to
eliminate the 5V supply?
