Programming the propeller with out the propeller tool?

Has anyone made a program for windows which will simply read a binary file and load it to ram or rom using the propeller's own boot loader?· I do know you can do this with the propeller tool but I’d like to automate the process and using sendkey()s is messy and easily disrupted.· The application which I'm currently thinking of is a simple compiler purely as a mental exercise but·I imagine there are practical applications as well.

    With the availability of Propellent (zip), there's no need to reinvent that part of the wheel. I've written a Windows front-end for it, which will do what you want (and more). It will be released when the Propeller Backpack becomes available.

    Thank you that's exactly what I was looking for! Though I remember reading about it before and probably should have found it on my own. now to get rid of that anoying security message...

    Not having to see those silly popups is a good reason to have your own boot loader. Still, not having to write the program if you don't want to is a small luxury.

    i wrote a boot loader(in obex) that will load code from attached sd card. only works if your product has at least 64kB eeprom and sd card attached. also code still needs to be put on the eeprom in the first place.

    I was calling the propellent.exe from a test program last night and the popups were from windows letting me know my app was executing another app. But it seems the propellent.dll is unmanaged. Has anyone written a managed wrapper for this or will I have to figure out how to write my own? I have written some C and C++ but preffer to use C# where possible.
