Re: [AVR-Chat] firmware update via wireless

2006-08-31 by Reza Naima

I've written a simple bootloader as well :

http://reza.net/avr/

There are a lot of options.  Easiest is to use a tiny MCU to handle the 
RF IO and to relay the data to the main MCU via the tx/rx pins and some 
other IO to force the bootloader to come up (so you can recover from a 
failed flash).
