    Hi Morgan,

    JTAG, BDM, Ethernet, Serial, programmed directly to flash - many ways.

    Yes, you are right. There are many different possible setups for
    getting code onto a target.

    When you reach this stage, it's usually specific to the actual target
    board, so you need to look through the doco for your particular
    platform.

    regards,
