Need binary / instructions to reload bootloader on Fubarino SD

[davidsmoot]

My company bought a half dozen or so Fubarino SD's for a rapid prototype for a customer and they worked great. However I was running my own native PIC code, not MPIDE code.

My company has no more need for these prototypes and I want to use them to teach basic programming skills to a group of kids. I want to be able to use them with MPIDE again. Can you please post / provide binaries and instructions? I have access to a Pickit programmer as well as several ICD 3's. Thanks, David

David,

If you have the MX795 version of the Fubarino SD, you'd use this HEX file for the bootloader: https://github.com/chipKIT32/PIC32-avrdude-bootloader/blob/master/bootloaders/MX4-FB_SD-USB%20-%20795.hex

And if you have the MX440 version, you'd use this HEX file: https://github.com/chipKIT32/PIC32-avrdude-bootloader/blob/master/bootloaders/MX4-FB_SD-USB%20-%20440.hex

Do you have MPLAB X installed? If so, you'll have the MPLAB IPE program installed as well. Run this program, select the part you have (Either the MX795 of MX440) and the programmer you'll be using (PICKit3 for example) and click connect. Then from the File menu, choose Import and select the proper HEX file (download one of the two above linked HEX files). Then click program, and you should have your bootloader back again.

Let me know if this doesn't work or if you need more details-

Your binary and instructions appear to work fine! Thank you! The kids will be happy to get 3 more units to play with.

I teach a class using Fubarino SD's and have lecture notes and labs posted here:

At some point I want to put these on github so they can be community-based but I haven't found time to do so yet.

Jacob,

This is great material. I'm really impressed.

I could help edit it for online publishing. I could translate to Markdown, and put in the wiki.

Indeed. I skimmed the material and I will be using it for my kids. I’m dealing with gifted 8th graders but there is still plenty of good stuff here. Thank you.

Dear Jacob,

Let me add my congratulations to the chorus of impressed people! I have been giving some programming courses to young people finishing a technical degree: this quality an comprehensiveness is necessary to obtain some level of success with current generation.

Keep on ChipKiting!

I believe that the original question has been answered here so I'm going to close this issue.
