USB and SDCARD Firmware flashing for the ARDUINO ATMEGA 2560 and ADK

master branch is sdcard flash bootloader_from_flash is flash from an spi chip

mechanics :

The bootloader looks for byte in eeprom at address 0x3FF:

-if it is set to 0xF0 bootloader will look for a bin file on the sdcard named 
 firmware.bin and use it to flash the firmware then reset the byte to 0xFF so it
 does this only once

-otherwise no action is taken and bootloader works as a arduino bootloader except
 some of the debugging functions are missing

Setup ADAFruit micro sdcard 5V ready:

SDCARD on ATMEGA 2560 or ADK

pin 50  -  DO

pin 51  -  DI

pin 52  -  CLK

pin 53  -  CS

if you have an sd card shield which is different from this setup you need to change 
the pinout in asmfunc.S and recompile the bootloader !!!

Flashing bootloader :

- copy the entire 'hardware' folder to your mydocuments/arduino folder 

- restart arduino ide

- you should now see under tools -> boards  -> Arduino mega 2560 (Dual sd bootloader) (select this)

- set the appropriate programmer

- burn bootloader

Using arduino ISP bootloader :

- connect arduino atmega 2560

- upload sketch 'Arduino ISP' (found in file -> examples)

Atmega2560 to Atmega 2560 connections:
	programmer	-	receiver
	pin 50			pin 50
	pin 51			pin 51
	pin 52			pin 52
	pin 53			reset
	5v				5v
	ground			ground
aditionally on programmer you have to put a capacitor between reset and ground (2.2microf works)
if you don't do this it won't work !!!

Compile bootloader:

install Crosspack (http://www.obdev.at/products/crosspack/index.html)

Navigate to My Documents/arduino/hardware/microbridge/bootladers/microbridge/

issue :

- make clean

- make all

bootloader output :

AVR Memory Usage
----------------
Device: atmega2560

Program:    6116 bytes (2.3% Full)
(.text + .data + .bootloader)

Data:        333 bytes (4.1% Full)
(.data + .bss + .noinit)

Generate BIN file:

To generate a bin file you need issue the following command on you apps elf executable :

avr-objcopy -I elf32-avr -O binary firmware.cpp.elf firmware.bin

this generates firmware.bin which can be put on the sd for flashing your firmware. You can find the elf file in you apps build directory.
