Anybody build gcc/src/device/pixyflash on Linux?

There's no rule for it in the makefile, but it'd be awesome to be able to flash Pixy from the command line!

Hi Simon, 

You currently can't do this because Pixy uses a bootstrap mode for loading code and updating the flash.  The bootstrap mode can only be entered by pressing the button --- it's an NXP thing.  

We could add flashing to the main firmware in the future (so we don't need to enter bootstrap mode)-- that might be cool.  

In general, JTAG is probably the best way to develop code on Pixy.  We've had some problems with JTAG in LPCXpresso though---  problems with flashing!  so there's been a bit of a rabbit hole.  Hopefully these issues will be sorted out....

thanks,

Thanks for the quick reply, Rich -- I figured something like that; no biggie; easy to flash with PixyMon, but worth asking.
