#139510 - Nothing new...
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Many of the new generation flash parts have the ability for the program code to reprogram the flash memory. Therefore you can update your program via remote means. I wouldn't suggest you use DLLs as a basis for doing this - they have quite a bit of overhead to mange the whole linkage.

You would normally have a 'bootloader' which is enough code to download a new application. This should not need to be replaced!

Most embedded system code on 8051's is quite small, so to do a complete reload is not that much of an overhead.
