Propeller loader

I need an "official" (as in Parallax supported) cross platform tool to load xxxx.eeprom (precompiled xxxx.spin files) to the prop. that is, must run on Linux and OSX as well as windows.

My trusty Google search pointed me at:

https://sites.google.com/site/propellergcc/documentation/propeller-loader
https://sites.google.com/site/propellergcc/downloads/linux-downloads#TOC-PropellerGCC
https://code.google.com/archive/p/propgcc/wikis/PropGccBuild.wiki

Unfortunately, the links on that page point to google code, which is no longer in use.

Can these links be updated to point to the current code, which I believe is up on github? Or is that something separate?

The goal here is to find a link that can be handed to beginners to get them started.

    Sorry, I neglected to include "cross platform" in my requirements. That is, usable on Linux and OSX as well not just windows.

    Propellent is great and all, but is windows only, and does not fit the bill.

  • propeller-load is cross platform as is the new upcoming proploader.

    A-HA! That's what messed me up. The page linked says "Parallax Propellent software is a Windows-based tool". instead of Cross Platform tool. Propellent really is what I want here.

    Seems I always miss this.

    I'm trying to write up instructions for a school teacher, so I have to start from nothing, and write the instructions based on what a new user would see.

    Should the propellent landing page be updated, or am I missing something else?

    Is there a reason you don't want to use propeller-load?
