Topics discussed in this application note include:
This section describes only basic functions of the bootstrap mode. Other
functions of the bootstrap mode are described in detail in the remainder
of this application note.
When an M68HC11 is reset in bootstrap mode, the reset vector is
fetched from a small internal read-only memory (ROM) called the
bootstrap ROM or boot ROM. The firmware program in this boot ROM
then controls the bootloading process, in this manner:

First, the on-chip SCI (serial communications interface) is
initialized. The first character received ($FF) determines which of
two possible baud rates should be used for the remaining
characters in the download operation.
Next, a binary program is received by the SCI system and is stored
in RAM.
Finally, a jump instruction is executed to pass control from the
bootloader firmware to the user’s loaded program.
