Arduino Bootloader Burning

Discussions on anything related to the evolving idea of Saskatoon's first "makerspace". What is a makerspace to you? What should it be called? What's the charter?

Arduino Bootloader Burning

Post by Tetragrammatron »

Anyone have experience with this? I have an Arduino Duemilanove and I bought a blank ATMega128P from DigiKey that I'd like to burn a bootloader on. Mostly I just want to avoid having to set up something complicated like this:

I don't have experience with programming the arduino boot loader but I have an STK500 and a Dragon and am familiar with the avr tool chain.

I will bring the STK500 down to the space. You should just need to get the binary of the bootloader you want to use and then find the avr-dude command to load it into the right spot. Slap the chip into the STK500 run one command and done. I also have a usb to serial converter so you can use the STK500 from a usb port.
