There is no "bootloader" mode required by a programmere, you simply need a standard programmer (e.g. ICD, Pickit etc) in order to burn the bootloader code to the micro, and then you need some method of sending data to your bootloader (often some kind of serial protocol over RS232, but could be I2C, CAN etc. depending on your application.)
