AVR bootloaders - Martin Griffith - 18:09 28-07-08

Just spent an hour googling <sigh>

I'm trying to find a reasonable BL for the enduser, preferably using
USB/FTDI or the silicon labs thingy/equivalent.

Just to update their AVR, nothing  special, apart from "simple" and
probably a lot of Mac users

Using GCC Winavr, Ponyprog and atmel Studio4

I'm just sort of (still) learning the AVR, 
so any suggestions, plus /minus points would be welcome

Thanks


martin

I'm not familiar with bootloaders set up for gcc but I am aware of a
couple available for the Imagecraft AVR C compiler. Standard disclaimer:
just a long-time satisfied customer. http://www.imagecraft.com for info.

I had imagecraft for the AVR when it first came out, then I got a job
for a few years, lost the floppy security disc inbetween. Yep it
seemed to be fine. Richard was as helpful as ever.

AVRstudio4 is quite klunky (IMO) twiddling the port (input) pins is a
bit of a disaster, and I do a lot of twiddling.
I end up burning the flash, to make sure Studio4 is working, that
seems to be the wrong way around :(
