 +Easy-loader uploads application hex files to either the [[:projects:cowboy|Cowboy]] boot loader for enhanced PIC12/PIC16, [[:projects:wellington:|Wellington]] boot loader for PIC18 or [[:projects:oxford:|Oxford]] boot loader for dsPIC/PIC24.
 +
 +Easy-loader also has a number of options to interrogate the boot loader to
 +inspect chip flash and EEPROM content.

 +The device can either be a serial interface of CAN Bus interface. Support for
 +CAN Bus is platform and boot loader dependent and is only available for Linux and the Wellington boot loader at present.
 +
 +=== Example ===
 +
 +Here a device which is attached to an RPi is first reset using `pctrl restore' and after
 +a hex file image is uploaded at 57600 baud.
 +
 +<code>
 +easy-loader -p -b 57600 /dev/ttyAMA0 myapp.hex
