Feature request:SDcard bootloader
Closed this issue · 3 comments
From Marco Sangalli (sangallimarco)
It would be fantastic if the board was able to load a .bin file from SDCard.
When the board powers up it could pick up the file from the sdcard, program the processor then rename or erase the file to avoid reprogramming.

That's a great idea,and perhaps a way to solve the problem of how people give their boards its initial IP address.
It's also a good alternative way to program them, have the IDE generate a .bin file which gets saved to the SD. Presumably it could work on regular Arduinos too, if they have an SD card on board.
found it.... it uses 4 kb of flash

Sweet. Think we can combine them?
