yes, so far so good. im going to try a few different devices and loading some really big flash self-check images later today but dont anticipate problems.
since you seem to be on top of this stuff more than most i have another quickie. the official 1284 bootloaders use uart 0 but the ones i got from tom carpenter use uart 1. there was mention here of issues with uart 0. do you know anything about this? which is most popular and closest to a standard?
