@stefan-b-jakobsson ready for review. I did a quick test on my machine, seems like the tools still works. |

There's a dead link to the Flash manipulation tools in doc/update-guide.md under heading "In-system update of the bootloader". |
|
I tested the new flash tools. They work fine as far as I can tell. I also tested to do an SMC update after updating the bootloader. One small thing I think I remember from some discussion. The dump tool prints the command you can use to save the bootloader to disk. If I remember correctly, the end address should be the actual end address + 1. |

Well spotted. Fixed. |
I have updated the BSAVE commands to include the last byte |
|
I think there's still a dead link in update-guide.md, at line 124. It refers to the file flash-manipulation.md that has been renamed. |

Well spotted, again. Fixed. |
This PR updates the SMC bootloader tools and information. This is mostly to include changes made in the zip version added here #53 (comment) , but, the instructions are also reorganized and cleaned up a bit.
Main changes are that these tools are better together with bootloader v3, and, they add a warning if the user attempts to e.g. install bootloader v2 if bootloader v3 is installed, causing a significant risk of bricking the x16.
Also, I took the liberty to add the pre-built bootloader .BIN files from existing bootloaders to this repo, causing that files are in one place, and that there are fewer risks involved with e.g. renaming the files.
