Thanks for the offer - it's much appreciated.
It's not that much different from a user's perspective. The shared
library API may change a little, but not heavily. I am also going to
improve the build system to try and eliminate some of the
platform-related issues. Most of the changes are internal, such as
moving more code out of the kernel module and into userspace.

It's an old package that can read only .hex files and requires scripting
to implement with hotplug. Multiload integrates with hotplug and udev,
and can read data from .hex and windows .sys files (if the offsets are
known), also from binary images and allows more control over how the
device is programmed.
