Well bootloaders generally are not OS specific. The host application may be
though.

Off the top of my head I would think that Wouter's ZPL could do the job. 
His host application is written in Python and only requires the Python
serial.py module to do its work. You can find ZPL here:

Hope this helps,

I ran into this same problem about 12 months ago. A PIC boot loader with
a host application written for Linux. I couldn't find one I liked so I began
writing one myself. Unfortunately it isn't ready for release yet.

However, I've been successfully using Tiny Bootloader :

  http://www.etc.ugal.ro/cchiculita/software/picbootloader.htm

The host application for this boot loader is written for Windoze but runs
perfectly under Wine. The author of this app. has done a good job of it.
So I don't have reservations about recommending it.

The Web site makes no mention of support for the PIC18F7622 but I
would let that stop you trying it. Bootloaders are written to run on a
wide variety of chips.

I use the Tiny Bootloader too, but I wrote my own host application in
Python:

http://www.nosreme.org/projects/tinyprog/index.html

Mine currently supports the 18F1320/18F452, but shouldn't be hard to
extend to other chips.  Also, I don't think I'm the only one to have
done this.

Chris

Also the latest release of Piklab should support the Tiny Bootloader
(I tested it on the 18F452). It needs some testing :)

Hi,

if you are looking for a USB bootloader (I do not find any information
about 18f7622. Does it include a USB device ?), you may also have a look
to http://vasco.gforge.enseeiht.fr/

For a USB bootloader, you can use the one from the PICkit 2.  There
are already cross-platform projects to update firmware.
