[mc1322x] New to the list and Freescale CPUs - firmware loadingquestion

[Barry Michels]

I mostly run Linux.  There is a Windows XP laptop here for MPLAB.  But, 
use my own encrypted bootloader so I don't have to use the PicKit3 all 
the time.  I'm really looking forward to a development environment that 
runs completely in Linux.
