I don't see any documentation on the P1 boot loader. I see there is documentation for the P2 boot loader but not for the P1.
Is this some big secret or am I not looking in the right place.
I did a search and found a document for the P1 boot loader, but it is not found on the documentation page for the P1.

Try this- in google, enter
Boot loader filetype:pdf site:parallax.com
It pulls up a pdf with pretty detailed description of the P1 boot loading process.

That's all good but it's not listed on the parallax website under P1 documentation.
I also use bing and it does not come back with anything useful.
The Chip version of the PDF should be listed there so people can find it.

You know it's possible and far more helpful to just post the URL, right? https://forums.parallax.com/uploads/editor/b0/yjwd5j7wkubc.pdf
That link is not as helpful as the docs given to David Betz when he wrote the Prop Loader code.

There is this: https://github.com/rosco-pc/propeller-wiki/wiki/Download-Protocol
@rosco_pc OT: Hey, you have the same Astrid Lindgren quote in your signature as me. Though your translation may be more accurate. Seems to be somehow coincident with the Propeller spirit.
Yeah I noticed
. I based it on a comment made quite some time back: "just say it is impossible and it will get implemented". Can not remember anymore who mentioned this though
BTW the original quote is: "Det har jag aldrig provat förut, så det klarar jag säkert"
The bootloader source code is available. https://github.com/parallaxinc/Propeller_1_Design/blob/master/booter.src
