Modifying Arduino Bootloader For a different Microcnotroller

[joelcrouch]

Greetings,

I would like to replace the default PIC32MX250F128B microcontroller with a PIC32MX130F064B part on the Digilent ChipKit DP32 board and use an Arduino bootloader.  I tried burning chipKIT-DP32-v01000303.hex by retargeting PIC32MX130F064B, but this did not work. I am assuming now that I need to make a few tweaks to the bootloader source files and recompile bootloader using MPLAB X.  Has anyone done this before?  What do I need to do?

 

Thanks,

Joel

Hi @joelcrouch,

Unfortunately this question goes beyond the scope of our Forum. We have not done what you are attempting to do. We would not have any useful advice to offer. Hopefully, one of the more experience community members might have some input for you.

thank you,

Jon

The MX130 does not have USB, which is what the DP32 bootloader would require. Are you planning to go through a different Interface?

Can I use a USB to serial adapter board?
