Bootloader Usage

The typical use case as used for the the PX4IO is described in px4pipbl.pdf.

To avoid accidental erasure or bad image loading:

• The bootloader needs to receive PROTO_GET_SYNC and PROTO_GET_DEVICE prior to receiving PROTO_CHIP_ERASE.
• The bootloader needs to receive PROTO_GET_SYNC and PROTO_GET_DEVICE and PROTO_PROG_MULTI and PROTO_GET_CRC prior to receiving PROTO_BOOT.
