# Apollo3 Uploader - SparkFun Variable Loader (SVL)
|
|
|
|
The ```svl``` bootloader is the default bootloader on Artemis module--based boards. This repo contains both the Python programs that are used to send code to a board and the source code for the program that receives code on an Artemis module.
|
|
|
|
The bootloader for the Artemis can be upgraded via Arduino using [these instructions](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/designing-with-the-sparkfun-artemis/all#troubleshooting). It can also be upgraded using the [Artemis Firmware Upload GUI](https://github.com/sparkfun/Artemis-Firmware-Upload-GUI).
|
|
|
|
Artemis SVL Versions:
|
|
|
|
* v5 - Speed and reliability increases
|
|
* v4 - Added peripheral deinitialization to deliver the Apollo3 closer to the initial reset state.
|
|
* v3 - Initial version
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
|
|
* prerequisites
|
|
* board has the SparkFun Variable Loader installed
|
|
* source code is located in ```bootlaoder/src```
|
|
* precompiled binaries and a makefile are located in ```bootloader/gcc```
|
|
(the artemis module target is suitable for all current SparkFun products)
|
|
* Python is installed on your computer
|
|
* your program is compiled + linked to support the SVL (binary offset ```0x10000```)
|
|
* use the SVL loader script to upload to the board
|
|
|
|
```python svl.py [flags] port```
|
|
|
|
* ```-b``` **baud rate**: 115200, 921600, or other desired common baud rate (57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, 921600)
|
|
* ```-f``` **filepath**: path to the binary image of your program to upload
|
|
* ```port``` **serial port**: the serial port to connect over (*/dev/\** on \*nix or *COMX* on windows)
|
|
* ```-v``` **verbose**: turn on verbose output
