Introduction

mLoader is a software application developed by Matrix to reprogram microcontrollers used in a variety of hardware targets.

Modes of operation

There are two basic modes of operation:

1. UI mode
   • This mode is enabled when mLoader is run as a stand-alone application
   • A window is opened (similar to the above image) which allows the user to send and receive programs to the target
   • More information can be found here: mLoader:UI_Mode
2. non-UI mode
   • This mode is typically used when another application (e.g. Flowcode) launches mLoader as part of a build process
   • Command line parameters control the operation of mLoader
   • No window will usually be opened and use feedback will be provided by the application launching mLoader
   • More information can be found here: mLoader:noUI_Mode
