2) Yes and no, there is no boot-from-serial mode BUT you can upload your program into flash and after that the processor will start executing the program. You might even succeed in making a serial-to-spiflash-emulator

I fail to see the difference from "flashing" then.

1) Will be very difficult or even impossible, the boot loader seems be in rom.

What then is the nature of the other thread "rBoot - a new open source boot loader" by RAB. How does it propose to take control from the "ROM" boot loader? They're just idle questions, I expect the answer will be way over my head
