Is there a way to use external flash on a 8 bit pic micro? I have seen bootloaders, but dont understand how they work.
If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?

A bootloader is basically a small stub program that the BIOS loads into a known location in memory; its only job is to load the main program into memory and then execute it. I've never heard of bootloaders for PIC's, though.
