# 1 MPLAB® Harmony 3 Bootloader Library

The Bootloader Library can be used to upgrade firmware on a target device without the need for an external programmer or debugger.

A Bootloader is a small application that starts the operation of the device. A Bootloader does not fully operate the device, but can perform various functions prior to starting the main application. Such functions can include:

- Firmware upgrades
- Application integrity
- Starting the application
