Is there a Java Propeller Loader?

I'm about to work on an open source project in Java and was wondering if anyone has coded or has info on a Java based program that can detect a Propeller by scanning ports and able to take an .eeprom or .binary file directly into RAM or EEPROM? Thanks!

I think this is what you are looking for. Java should be able to use the Propellent DLL. You can also launch directly the .exe

Thanks for the info. I forgot to mention that I want to make the project cross platform as well and I don't think the Propellent dll works on Linux or Mac OSes. I do have a copy of Chip's Pnut source code for downloading files to the Propeller. I'll look at that and maybe be able to build my own C code for it and use it in Java.

There's also the propeller-load utility from PropGCC that might give you some more ideas on which way to head.

Sorry to hear about the Java thing.....

If you need C source for loading look here:

https://code.google.com/p/propgcc/source/browse/loader/src/PLoadLib.c
https://code.google.com/p/propgcc/source/browse/loader/src/PLoadLib.h

You can make a test program by compiling with -DMAIN
$ gcc -DMAIN PLoadLib.c

Thanks Jazzed, that's exactly what I'm looking for! Hopefully I can incorporate it into Java with one of the Java Comm port add ins I've been looking at.
