The bootloader can be installed using another Arduino, first install the Arduino IDE onto your laptop:
sudo yum install arduino
you are then given the option of upgrading to version 1.0.1, note where you save to (in my case /home/olpc/arduino-1.0.1/), version21 starts from the Gnome Applications menu but to start version 1.0.1 do the following:
$ su bash-4.1# /home/olpc/arduino-1.0.1/arduino
The programming technique is described at [1] but the pins are different, see the diagrams below
- Connect the host Arduino to your computer
- Connect the Arduino and XOrduino together according to the table and diagram above
- Start the Arduino IDE
- Load arduinoISP from the examples
- Tools/board to match the Arduino being used as a programmer
- Upload
- Tools/board Leonardo (the XOrduino)
- Tools/Programmer Arduino as ISP
- Tools/Burn bootloader
If the burning of the bootloader is successful, the yellow LED on the XOrduino will end up flashing once a second.
