HowTo: Bootloader for AVR?

Hello,

How do you integrate a bootloader by using mikroBasic PRO for AVR version 3.50?

Regards,

Marc

Hello,

I am building a wireless system to control our electric heating system(energy reduction).
Each heating device has its own power-switch with an integrated transceiver.
We have about 10 of those units. In each room I also like to measure and set-up the temperature, also wireless.
To command light and other devices I am using an existing system.
Al those devices are going to be controlled by a central unit(PC or AVR or a combination of it).
To do an easy update I like to add a small serial or usb interface in each temperature and power-switch unit.
Therefore I need a small boot-loader in each AVR cpu.
I already checked he PIC cpu mikroBasic vesion, here the bootloader functionality plus some examples are integrated, but not for the AVR.
I have don some successful tests with the BASCOM bootloader, but, I like to do it with mikroBasic Pro for AVR (more user friendly)
When can we use the bootloader possibilities in the AVR environment?

Regards,

Marc

Hello,

There is a boot-loader for the XMEGA ( http://www.mikroe.com/eng/products/view ... ady-board/ ) made by ME.
I it also possible to make it for other ATMEL CPU's in the near future?

Regards,

Marc
