<p>I've heard that a <i>bootloader</i> is code that runs on a
microcontroller, and is used to get your application code onto the micro.
How does that work?  Is there anything special that needs to be done to
write a bootloader?

<p>If a bootloader is for getting code onto a micro, how do you get the
bootloader onto the micro in the first place?
