    Bootloader for Arduino Mega2560

    Bootloader for Arduino Mega2560

    The standard Arduino bootloader uses STK500 version 1 protocol. This protocol works fine up to chips that have
    128 bytes of Flash.
    After that it does not understand the extended addressing. Fortunately there is STK500v2 protcol
    that can handle larger memory footprints.

    I started with the wiring project stk500 v2 bootloader and modified it to work with the 2560.

    This bootloader has been tested on

    CPU BOARD Web site


    atmega2560 Arduino mega
    atmega1280 Arduino mega
    atmega128 Amber128 http://www.soc-robotics.com/
    atmega32 Penguino-AVR http://www.icy.com.au/
    atmega2561 Boston Android http://www.bostonandroid.com/EVAL-USB-2561.html

    It should be able to be made to work with any larger atmega cpu by modifiying the make file which is included with
    the source.

    How to use the 2560 and others in Arduino

    Download new Arduino core files Alternate CORE files

    NOTE: This ONLY applies to version 0019 and earlier. If you have 0020 you DO NOT NEED TO DO THIS.

    Update eeprom.h

    Click here for eeprom.h.zip


    It must be placed in hardware/tools/avr/avr/include/avr.>
    On the MacOSX, the full path is
    /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/avr/avr/include/avr

    This is STILL NEEDED for 0020.

    Restart Arduino software

    Full source and make files can be found here stk500v2bootloader.zip

    The current bootloader in the Arduino mega board has a little known fact that it has a monitor built in. It is not very
    usable in that it has to be done with a program and cannot be used via a terminal because it uses binary commands.
    In order
    to access this "monitor" you have to open the serial port at 57600 baud and type "!!!" before it jumps to the
    main program.

    I have done the same thing in the new bootloader but it is a command prompt to allow you to look at the hardware

    and memory.
    To access this monitor open up a serial port at 115200 and type "!!!" within 3 seconds.

    The commands are

    0=Zero address counters


    ?=CPU stats
    @=EEPROM test
    B=Blink LED
    E=Dump EEPROM
    F=Dump FLASH
    H=Help
    L=List available Ports
    Q=Quit and jump to user program
    R=Dump RAM
    V=show interrupt Vectors
    Y=Port blink

    This bootloader takes 8K memory and I have used almost every available byte. The monitor can be turned of but this
    was designed for the atmega2560, atmega1280, and atmega128, all of which have plenty of flash memory space.

    The monitor is VERY useful to test hardware. For example you can blink any port, you can look at flash, ram and
    eeprom.
