This directory contains the Optiboot small bootloader for AVR
|
||
|
|
microcontrollers, somewhat modified specifically for the Arduino
|
||
|
|
environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Optiboot is more fully described here: http://code.google.com/p/optiboot/
|
||
|
|
and is the work of Peter Knight (aka Cathedrow), building on work of Jason P
|
||
|
|
Kyle, Spiff, and Ladyada. Arduino-specific modification are by Bill
|
||
|
|
Westfield (aka WestfW)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Arduino-specific issues are tracked as part of the Arduino project
|
||
|
|
at http://code.google.com/p/arduino

------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
Building optiboot for Arduino.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Production builds of optiboot for Arduino are done on a Mac in "unix mode"
|
||
|
|
using CrossPack-AVR-20100115. CrossPack tracks WINAVR (for windows), which
|
||
|
|
is just a package of avr-gcc and related utilities, so similar builds should
|
||
|
|
work on Windows or Linux systems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One of the Arduino-specific changes is modifications to the makefile to
|
||
|
|
allow building optiboot using only the tools installed as part of the
|
||
|
|
Arduino environment, or the Arduino source development tree. All three
|
||
|
|
build procedures should yield identical binaries (.hex files) (although
|
||
|
|
this may change if compiler versions drift apart between CrossPack and
|
||
|
|
the Arduino IDE.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Building optiboot in the arduino IDE install.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Work in the .../hardware/arduino/bootloaders/optiboot/ and use the
|
||
|
|
"omake <targets>" command, which just generates a command that uses
|
||
|
|
the arduino-included "make" utility with a command like:
|
||
|
|
make OS=windows ENV=arduino <targets>
|
||
|
|
or make OS=macosx ENV=arduino <targets>
|
||
|
|
On windows, this assumes you're using the windows command shell. If
|
||
|
|
you're using a cygwin or mingw shell, or have one of those in your
|
||
|
|
path, the build will probably break due to slash vs backslash issues.
|
||
|
|
On a Mac, if you have the developer tools installed, you can use the
|
||
|
|
Apple-supplied version of make.
|
||
|
|
The makefile uses relative paths ("../../../tools/" and such) to find
|
||
|
|
the programs it needs, so you need to work in the existing optiboot
|
||
|
|
directory (or something created at the same "level") for it to work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Building optiboot in the arduino source development install.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In this case, there is no special shell script, and you're assumed to
|
||
|
|
have "make" installed somewhere in your path.
|
||
|
|
Build the Arduino source ("ant build") to unpack the tools into the
|
||
|
|
expected directory.
|
||
|
|
Work in Arduino/hardware/arduino/bootloaders/optiboot and use
|
||
|
|
make OS=windows ENV=arduinodev <targets>
|
||
|
|
or make OS=macosx ENV=arduinodev <targets>
