Bidcos Bootloader for Atmega

Currently tested at Atmega328p and Atmega644.

Tested on

Prepare device:

  • Clone repository
  • Build source for HB-UW-Sen-THPL
make clean HB_UW_Sen_THPL
  • Build source for HM-LC-Sw1PBU-FM
make clean HM_LC_Sw1PBU_FM
  • Build source for HM-LC-Sw1PBU-FM (8k Bootloader space)
make clean HM_LC_Sw1PBU_FM_8k
avrdude -p m328p -P usb -c usbasp -U lfuse:w:0xE2:m -U hfuse:w:0xD0:m -U efuse:w:0x06:m -U lock:w:0x2F:m
  • Flash to device (Atmega328p):
avrdude -p m328p -P usb -c usbasp -V -U flash:w:Bootloader-AskSin-OTA-HB_UW_Sen_THPL.hex
avrdude -p m644 -P usb -c usbasp -U lfuse:w:0xFD:m -U hfuse:w:0xDA:m -U lock:w:0x2F:m
  • Flash to device (Atmega644):
avrdude -p m644 -P usb -c usbasp -V -U flash:w:Bootloader-AskSin-OTA-HM_LC_Sw1PBU_FM.hex

Convert payload and flash:

  • You need to convert your elf file to binary first (For arduino GUI you can find this in /tmp/buildXXXXX/)
  • If CRC Check is disabled, simply use the avr-objcopy tool
avr-objcopy -j .text -j .data -O binary payload.elf payload.bin
  • If CRC Check is enabled, you need to generate a CRC checksum to your binary to make it acceptable for the bootloader

  • The intention of the CRC check is to prevent unfinished transfers to start and force you to do a hard reset to re-enter the bootloader

  • This CRC Checksum has to be added with the tool srec_cat (from srecord: http://srecord.sourceforge.net/download.html)

  • In this case, do not use avr-objcopy, simply run srec_cat as follows (use the .hex file as input, not the .elf file)

  • For 32k devices with 4k bootloader space like (Atmega328p):

srec_cat <payload.hex> -intel -fill 0xFF 0x0000 0x6FFE -Cyclic_Redundancy_Check_16_Little_Endian 0x6FFE -o  payload.bin -binary
  • For 64k devices with 4k bootloader space like (Atmega644):
srec_cat <payload.hex> -intel -fill 0xFF 0x0000 0xEFFE -Cyclic_Redundancy_Check_16_Little_Endian 0xEFFE -o  payload.bin -binary
  • For 64k devices with 8k bootloader space like (Atmega644):
srec_cat <payload.hex> -intel -fill 0xFF 0x0000 0xDFFE -Cyclic_Redundancy_Check_16_Little_Endian 0xDFFE -o  payload.bin -binary
  • in both cases you end up with the binary, which has to go through the converter to get the EQ3 format
  • Use the converter (need php-cli):
./bin2eq3.php payload.bin payload.eq3 # convert to eq3 hex format

Dependent on the flash page size of the desired AVR, a different page size can pass as third parameter in bytes. The default pages size is 256 bytes.
E.g. the Atmega328 needs a page size of 128 bytes.

tar -czf payload.tar.gz payload.eq3 # create .tar.gz for homematic windows tool
  • Open serial with 57600 baud to see debug output
  • Flash payload with flash-ota (from hmland https://git.zerfleddert.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi/hmcfgusb):
  • As SERIAL_NUMBER, set your desired number in the header of bootloader.c. Defaults to KEQ0000001
  • You should set a different number for each device to prevent bootloader conflicts when more than 1 device is switched on at the same time
sudo ./flash-ota -f payload.eq3 -s <SERIAL_NUMBER>
  • Reboot device to enter bootloader
  • Wait for flash-ota to do its job
