    I think Flash Loader Demonstrator only supports UART/RS232. But you can try to use LIN. Also you can create your own bootloader.

    But I only have the lin interface outside of the ecu.

    Then someone didn't think the design through very well..

    Your own code may have significantly more flexibility in what you can implement, but the ROM based loader have very limited and specific functionality. Initial programming will need to be done via the SWIM interface methods.

    I am not familiar with LIN. But UM0560 - STM8 bootloader speaks about LINUART/UART. So your PC need to have a card with LIN interface.
