This Optiboot is derivated from OptiBoot v6 - latest to date - and integrate the code changes make by LowPowerLab to support reflashing from an external SPI flash memory chip. It remain, by defaut configured to support Moteino, but integrate changes to support Anarduino's MiniWireless as well.
This Optiboot version is modified to add the capability of reflashing from an external SPI flash memory chip. As configured this will work with Moteino (www.lowpowerlab.com/Moteino) provided a SPI flash chip is present on the dedicated onboard footprint. Summary of how this Optiboot version works:
- it looks for an external flash chip
- if one is found (SPI returns valid data) it will further look for a new sketch flash image signature and size starting at address 0: FLXIMG:9999:XXXXXXXXXXX where: - 'FLXIMG' is fixed signature indicating FLASH chip contains a valid new flash image to be burned - '9999' are 4 size bytes indicating how long the new flash image is (how many bytes to read) - 'XXXXXX' are the de-hexified bytes of the flash pages to be burned - ':' colons have fixed positions (delimiters)
- if no valid signature/size are found, it will skip and function as it normally would (listen to STK500 protocol on serial port)
Add the content of boards.txt to the board.txt located in <arduino_install_dir>/hardware/arduino It will create an MiniWireless board in the selection menu and allows the bootloader's burning
To compile, go in DualOptiboot folder and compile with command line as omake miniwirelss to complete with flashing after compilation, omake miniwireless_isp
