Button can now be released. The device will stay in boot loader mode until
it is power cycled.
Boot loader implements the standard protocol XMODEM with CRC16 for
firmware update. User is free to use his favorite terminal client
(HyperTerminal, minicom, etc) to upload the firmware images taken from

agnostic.
As an alternative we provide a simple Windows GUI application for users
who don’t want to or cannot use terminal software.

until it is power cycled.
