There is a USB Bootloader for PIC32, available from Microchip (AN1388): [url]http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1824&appnote=en554836[/url]

Note that this is totally separate from anything that is MPIDE/chipKIT, there is nothing bypassing the FTDI chip currently available within the MPIDE/chipKIT environment that I know of.

Yes, there is. We use it on the CUI32 and UBW32 boards - it works for ANY USB enabled PIC32. And it works great with MPIDE. Search this forum for CUI32 and/or UBW32 to find the links to the bootloader.
