1 MCC Melody Bootloader: 8-bit
2 User Interface
- 2.1 Communication Protocol
  
  This component is used to configure which communication protocol is being used for data transfer between the Bootloader and the Host application.
- 2.2 I/O Pins
  
  These components are used to enable the I/O operations that the bootloader implements during execution.
- 2.3 Memory Verification Selector
  
  This component is used to set the verification method used for application verification.
- 2.4 Boot End Address
  
  This component is used to allow 8-bit PIC devices to configure where the bootloader section of Flash stops and the end application space begins.
- 2.5 Software Protection
  
  This component is used to activate a software method for write-protecting the bootloader section of Flash for 8-bit PIC devices.
- 2.6 Erase Type
  
  This component is used to configure the erase size for the bootloader’s erase action.

2.7 Optional Commands

This section of the UI is used to initialize optional commands that the bootloader supports but does not require for basic operation.

Description: These input options allow users to enable the interface functions housed within the bootloader firmware that can perform memory operations using various memory APIs for the bootloader. These are not required but will be useful for some configuration steps that happen before the end application takes control.

Example: These command options are very simple to use. Select the command of choice to generate into the bootloader firmware. Everything else is handled by MPLAB® X IDE and the bootloader library. Any option that is highlighted with a blue color will be included in the code generation.
