Burning the Bootloader.

Projects General Guidance

Greetings! and wishes for new year!

Few days ago, I came across a arduino compatible tiny board called Seeduino XIAO. Here's the link for it
http://https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Seeeduino-XIAO/

I found it interesting and started to wonder if I want to make a clone of it, would it be possible to get the bootloader? if so How do I do it?

The page above says the MCU comes with bootloader already burnt in it right out from the factory itself. then would it mean that I do not need to burn the bootloader at all? like just make the circuit around its bare chip and upload the code directly into it?

Any advice suggestions? Thanks in advance

If you buy a bare chip (not the module), you will have to burn the boot loader if you are in need of a boot loader.

I have no idea how to do that for an ARM Cortex-M0+.

Burning the bootloader in the bare chip just like we do with AVRs ? would it work?

That would be the idea; as said, no idea what or how.

Sorry for the late reply.

The page you link to has the complete schematics of the thing, and more info on the bootloader is here (that link is also in the resources part of the page you linked to).

So there you go - get the parts and clone away!
