-In this final step you now take the application for your target device +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. 
-and upload it to the boot loader which will store it in flash memory.+ 
 +Easy-loader also has a number of options to interrogate the boot loader to 
 +inspect chip flash and EEPROM content. 
 + 
 +=== Install === 
 + 
 +Easy-loader is installed from source.
  
-First install easy-loader.

 + 
 +Typing easy-loader alone will output the following help.

 +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 reset using `pctrl restore' and then
 +a hex file image is uploaded at 57600 baud.
 +
 +<code>
 +easy-loader -p -b 57600 /dev/ttyAMA0 myapp.hex
