# DualOptiboot

Based on:
Custom Optiboot to add wireless programming capability to Moteino

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)
The added code will result in a compiled size of just under 1kb
(Originally Optiboot takes just under 0.5kb)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To compile copy the Optiboot.c and Makefile files where Optiboot is originally located, mine is at:
arduino-install-dir\hardware\arduino\bootloaders\optiboot\
Backup the original files andbefore overwrite both files.
Then compile by running:
make atmega328
make atmega1284p
