Custom Firmware

Asked Jan 2013 — Edited Mar 2015

Hey, I asked this in another Category, probably not the right one... but anyways I'm trying to replace the EZ B code in my board with custom AVR code as I know the board is an ATMega128. The thing is I do not have a programmer, but I know the EZ B has a bootloader for us to update the firmware over bluetooth. The code 14 activates the boot loader, but how can I send the program I've built? Any help? Do I send the hex file as a byte array?

The EZ-B is not an Atmega128 - it is a Microchip PIC. The code is not compatible and is also not compatible with the bootloader. The EZ-B firmware is only compatible with the bootloader. You are unable to program custom firmware onto the EZ-B. To control the EZ-B, download ARC or use the EZ-SDK. The ARC software has a development environment for EZ-Script, if you wish to create your own program.

Otherwise, you may convert your Arduino program to EZ-Script very easily.
