Now the UART is a reliable PCB it's worth the effort to develop a monitor/bootloader in order to streamline future development. I had been back and forth on exactly what I would develop, but I always wanted to introduce something to speed the process of getting code to the build. I start by showing a true accounting of the iteration time to get code to the build with the eeprom programmer, and then finish with some rapid testing using the new system.

10:05 Command Processing
10:55 Basic monitor demonstration
12:37 Proof of concept code loading
14:19 Disassembler
16:09 Testing the disassembler
17:55 Better code loading
