1.1 UDP Bootloader

This example application shows how to use the Bootloader Library to bootload an application using UDP protocol.

Bootloader Application

• This is a bootloader application which resides from

  • The starting location of the flash memory region for SAM devices

  • The starting location of the Boot flash memory region for PIC32MZ devices

  • The starting location of Program Flash memory for PIC32MX devices

• It uses the UDP port to receive application hex from host PC using the Unified Bootloader Host Application

  • Port number : 6234

  • IP Address : 192.168.1.11

• It calls the bootloader_Tasks() function which receives application to be programmed into flash memory over the configured UDP port

• It glows an LED once bootloader firmware is running

• It uses the On board Switch as bootloader trigger pin to force enter the bootloader at reset of device

• It checks for bootloader request pattern (0x5048434D) from the starting 16 Bytes of RAM to force enter bootloader at reset of device

Test Application

• This is a test application which resides from

  • The end of bootloader size in device flash memory for SAM devices

  • The end of bootloader size in Program Flash memory for PIC32MX devices

  • The start of Program Flash memory for PIC32MZ devices

• It will be loaded into flash memory by bootloader application

• It blinks an LED and provides console output

• It uses the On board Switch to trigger the bootloader from firmware

  • Once the switch is pressed it loads first 16 bytes of RAM with bootloader request pattern (0x5048434D) and resets the device
