The Bootloader software is integrated in all Mikroelektronika’s compilers. It is used to load a .hex code into the microcontroller
that already has the Bootloader .hex code loaded. In order to open the mikroBootloader window, it is necessary to select the
mikroBootloader option from the Tools menu within the compiler’s main window. The first thing you should do after that is to select the
port to be used for connecting the additional board to a PC. One click on the Setup Port button causes a window with options such as
port selection, baud rate selection etc. to be open, Figure 6. Close the Setup Port window and click on the Connect button within the
mikroBootloader window in order to establish connection between the Bootloader software and the PIC-Ready1 additional board. To
break this connection, click on the Disconnect button. Use the Open HEX file button in order to select a .hex file to be loaded in the
microcontroller provided on the additional board. One click on the Start bootloader button will start up the process of .hex file loading.
This process can be ceased at any time by clicking on the Stop bootloader button.

Baud rate depends on the rate defined in the bootloader .hex
code loaded into the microcontroller. For the bootloaders
provided with Mikroelektronika’s compilers, it is set to 9600bps
