I don't think this is right....the red part is not right.

I think it should be pic18f4685\burner\bootloader_v1_2_pic18f4685.hex

From the readme.txt file:

E) you want to install the new Bootloader and MIOS release on a PIC18F4620

   or PIC18F4685.

Burn:

   -> pic18f4620\burner\bootloader_v1_2_pic18f4620.hex

or

   -> pic18f4685\midi\mios_v1_9f_pic18f4685.hex

into the PIC - the directory depends on the PIC type

Thereafter upload

   -> pic18f4620\midi\mios_v1_9f_pic18f4620.hex

or

   -> pic18f4685\midi\mios_v1_9f_pic18f4685.hex

via MIDI like described at the http://www.ucapps.de/mios_bootstrap.html page.

And are points C and E not the same? Only for different pics.....C for 18F452 and E for 18F4620 / 18F4685...the procedure is the same.

Yes, the info is kinda redundant, not wrong though. The two sections could be merged into one with the info being what it is now - but I'm pretty sure there is/was a reason for the two PIC families being handled differently.

Yes but take a good look at what is written. First you have to burn the bootstraploader into the pic. So read under burn:

Burn:

  -> pic18f4620\burner\bootloader_v1_2_pic18f4620.hex

or

  -> pic18f4685\midi\mios_v1_9f_pic18f4685.hex

the second line concerning the 4685, is actually the second file that you upload after you uploaded the bootloader. And this is done thru midi with the pic in the core.

This information may be confusing for some people.

Yes. My bad, I saw the redundancy and just assumed that was all there was to it.  :-[ You're right though. Good spot! ;D
