Hi friends,
I've got a product that has evolved from the Atmega328P to the MK20DX256, and I want to take it into production in the near future.. but a consideration is the bootloader chip. If we stick with the MK20DX256 then we'll need to buy a lot of the pre-programmed bootloader chips from PJRC. Very happy to support PJRC, but these chips don't come in pick and place feeder friendly packaging.. and our compiled code is using so little of the MK20DX256 memory that it'd be great if there were a bootloader for the MK20DX256 alone.
Our options are:
Any suggestions, friends?

Our options are:
- Stick with the MKL02Z32 pre-programmed and manually feed them into a pick and place machine
- Find a bootloader for the MK20DX256 and do away with the bootloader chip (is there a bootloader out there for this?!)
- Buy the MKL02Z32 blank and flash it ourselves (is this code published?)
- Leave the Teensy universe for a PIC or similar.. sadface.
Any suggestions, friends?
