Update from PC?

Has anyone worked on code to update the code on the propeller chip eeprom with a "firmware updater"?

I wan't to be able to write my own software to grab a binary file and upload it to the propeller chip, with a custom progress bar and progress messages (not the propeller tool ones).
Also, I don't want the device to stop functioning whilst it happens.

e.g.
1. PC initialised update mode on prop
2. Prop writes new code to second half of eeprom
3. PC asks user if they wan't to restart prop
4. Prop restarts and loads new code into first half of eeprom


Thank you smile.gif
