| Jul 21, 2014 at 5:39 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | I expect it would take less time to run than it would to find the software to do it that way, but yes, the bootloader is fairly small and only needs to be loaded once. | |

That would only be the first time then, for burning the bootloader? Because after the bootloader's been put in it can be programmed through a serial connection, meaning seconds, right? | |
