Hi everyone --
Just picked up a 101 last night and I'm doing a little poking around with it. My understanding is that Arduino sketches run on the ARC core while the x86 core runs a RTOS that is responsible for handling the USB connection. I would like to be able to use the x86 core to run my own code, however. If I want to do that, would I need to flash a custom x86 firmware over to the device? Where is DFU mode implemented if I screw something up? I don't want to end up with a brick because of a bug in my code
I noticed there is what looks like a standard AVR ICSP header on the board along with a tiny 2x5 header up near the reset button. Can either of these be used with a programmer of some sort to reflash firmware?
Sorry if these questions are answered elsewhere. I went through around 12 pages of the forum last night, along with reading through a good chunk of the data sheet as well.
Thanks!
