Remove the old Silicon Labs bootloader #25

Closed mithro closed 6 years ago

The DFU bootloader is better in every way;

It is half the size
It doesn't need drivers on Windows / Linux / etc
It's open source
It compiles with GCC

kitlith commented 6 years ago

would it be worth having a 'legacy branch' that holds the last state of the scilabs bootloader and then deleting the scilabs bootloader from master? that way it's not difficult to access if you really need it, but it can be removed from the master branch.

@kitling we could create a tomu-bootloader-old and mark it as "archived"?

kitlith commented 6 years ago

you could make another repository and mark it as archived, sure. just depends on the approach you want to take.

The old bootloader has been moved to the an0042 branch, and removed from master.
