Hello all,
I am new to microcontroller programming and i am trying to learn more about the bootloader programming. I am using atmel ATmega328-P micro controller and in addition to that, i have an Arduino Uno board for other projects . I have seen some information regarding the usage of Arduino bootloader sketch in arduino IDE as bootloader for the ATMega 328-P using arduino uno as programmer. My question is what difference does it make if i download other custom made bootloader programs which are shared in internet against the arduino bootloader. My requirement is to flash the updated programs to the microcontroller using USB - UART converter during testing phase and using a USB port with microcontroller with native USB support . What shall i look for while choosing the type of bootloaders to download and kindly suggest me an effective way to learn about bootloader programming so that i can try it on my own..
Regards
Sriniketh
