WARNING: THIS PROJECT HAS MOVED

You can find the most recent version at the mw-mdma-bl GitLab project page. This repository will be kept as is, and will not be updated anymore.

mw-mdma-bl

Bootloader for the MegaWiFi Programmer, to be used along with the programmer firmware (mw-mdma-fw).

Building

You will need avr-gcc, avr-binutils and avr-libc to be able to build the sources. You will also need a recent LUFA library installation. Edit makefile file, and change the LUFA_PATH definition to match the path where you have installed LUFA library:

LUFA_PATH   ?= $(HOME)/src/avr/lufa/lufa-latest/LUFA

Then cd to the path where the sources of this repository are located and simply run:

$ make

To burn the bootloader, you will need an external tool, such an ISP programmer. You cannot use a DFU programmer already burned on the microcontroller to flash this bootloader.

Usage

Entering DFU bootloader mode

If mw-mdma-fw is burned into the microcontroller, the bootloader will start it automatically. Otherwise DFU bootloader will be automatically entered. To switch to DFU bootloader mode when in normal firmware mode, you can try keeping pressed the pushbutton in the board while plugging the USB cable, or you can try using mw-mdma-cli tool with the command:

$ mdma -b

When in DFU bootloader mode, the two LEDs in the programmer board will start blinking alternatively, indicating that the board is ready to accept DFU commands.

Flashing the application firmware

When in DFU bootloader mode, to burn a new firmware, you can use DFU tools such as Atmel FLIP for Windows of dfu-programmer for Unix/Linux/Mac. Programming the firmware using dfu-programmer usually requires 3 commands:

$ dfu-programmer at90usb646 erase
$ dfu-programmer at90usb646 flash mdma-fw.hex
$ dfu-programmer at90usb646 reset

If you are inside of the mw-mdma-fw source tree, you can burn the latest firmware just by executing:

$ make dfu

The new firmare will be uploaded and the board will be reset, starting the flashed firmware.
