Flash Bootloader

Chip, I've been using the SPI Flash with Tachyon but I to boot I still need to load via PNut. I could tack on a Prop as a serial bootloader but it seems to me that the SPI Flash interface is fairly simple so is it possible to upgrade the bootloader to include the basic routines for loading from Flash, even if it doesn't include any other Flash support for writing etc. I don't need encryption yet so how about it? Is it something that could happen soon?

    Peter, I could do this sometime soon.

    I can't believe I didn't have Daniel put an 8-pin SPI flash on the -A9 board. It would have been so easy! Now, we'll have to plug one into the breadboard and poke wires in.

    Or, somebody could make a little board that plugs into the second header and provides a couple extras, like flash and uSD...
