After mumble mumbling I miss the purpose for this, but I'd really like to k=
now!

The bootloader I wanna write is really minimalistic. On ~reset, it should
detect if RxD is kept continuosly low by the host (break), if it's not, it
should simply launch the main application. If it is, it should enter into
a (bootloader) routine which will accept commands through the UART to erase
and write whatever block of program memory I wish.

Perhaps as my menthal context is this and only this, I miss the point of
having an indirect call to functions, like You are implementing. Am I missi=
ng
something useful also for my case maybe?

Kind regards,
Mario
