new avr user, programing by means of serial boot loader

Development Boards MicroMod
1

I have been working with mc68xx devices for a few years and want to switch to ATMEGA32 for many reasons.

My experience with programing mc68xx devices has been at the serial boot loader level and the Image Craft compilers:

  1. Compile source code.

  2. Place device in boot strap mode.

  3. Reset device and download machine code via RS232 using terminal

program.

  1. Place device in run mode (reset vector jumps to my prog.).

  2. Reset device to run user application.

Q: How similar is programing the ATMEGA32 using its serial boot loader, to that of the MC68xx devices? Can it be done with only a PC runing ICCv7avr and a serial port?

Thanks

JC

HEY Yourself!

There are quite a number of serial bootloaders for the AVRs, each with its own scheme. You can install the one you want via the in-circuit programmer. Or buy a mega32 with one burned in already such as PRLLC’s.
