Re: rigel: yet another program loader!
I have updated rigel to version 0.13, with some nifty new features and some bugfixes.

Get the source and Win32 executable here (you must have Cygwin installed for now):
rigel 0.13 source

From the ChangeLog:
New features -
  • Added --eeprom switch. You can now load small binary files directly to EEPROM.
  • Added ANSI terminal sequences to add some color to the UNIX versions.
  • Overhauled AN851 code to retry 3 times on a failed handshake with the controller.

Bugfixes -
  • Fixed minor compilation issues on Win32 (some warnings)
  • Fixed OS X compilation (use select(2) instead of poll(2))
  • Fixed bug where code would not run after a download.
  • Fixed timeout initialization on POSIX systems.
  • Force 8-byte alignment for flash writes (minor fix).

By the way, I have tested updating the master firmware, and successfully updated the 2005 controller to the beta version 14
