Before the sketch initiates an auto-reset for upload it pokes a magic word into a specific RAM address. On starting the bootloader checks this address. If it finds the magic word it knows the bootloader code should run. If not it jumps straight back to sketch. Test in a sketch by adding to setup(): wdt_enable(WDTO_2S); Sketch should upload, start, run for two seconds, WDT, and sketch should restart (not bootloader). Had to cut out unused descriptor code to make the bootloader still fit in 4k.
Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple i/o board and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP). The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free. For more information, see the website at: http://www.arduino.cc/ or the forums at: http://arduino.cc/forum/ To report a bug in the software, go to: http://code.google.com/p/arduino/issues/list For other suggestions, use the forum: http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/board,21.0.html INSTALLATION Detailed instructions are in reference/Guide_Windows.html and reference/Guide_MacOSX.html. For Linux, see the Arduino playground: http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/Linux CREDITS Arduino is an open source project, supported by many. The Arduino team is composed of Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, Gianluca Martino, and David A. Mellis. Arduino uses the GNU avr-gcc toolchain, avrdude, avr-libc, and code from Processing and Wiring. Icon and about image designed by ToDo: http://www.todo.to.it/
