Now that is a really nice project there. Deserves project of the month if you ask me.

Is the serial bootloader used here a project on Xcore yet, if not it should be.
If it was I would vote it for POTM also.

Without a doubt, I agree with Berni and Al. This looks great, and I'm very interested e.g. in seeing the same thing via bluetooth. Any additional information about what resources are reserved by the bootloader? It looks like it's always active if it's able to interrupt a running program.

'Bootloader' might be a bit of a misconception here. It looks like the sort of functionality that you would get from putting a custom application layer on top of XMOS' libflash (which allows for device firmware upgrade). The USB Audio reference design is able to do this using USB's DFU class. There is no reason this couldn't be done over any interface (UART, ethernet, CAN, I2C, SPI etc etc)

Still, pretty cool!
