Flashing Arduino from SD card with Mega 2560 - CHAN pfsamples-

Hi Guys! I have been trying to adapt the following bootloader to an ATMega2560 following the these 2 pages :

and
http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/pfsample.zip

I have included the avr_boot folder into my ATMEL studio and try to build the bootloader (HEX File) without success.

I there anybody out there that had the same prob and that has a few pointers!

Thanks for helping!

Does Nick's program do bootloaders, or just sketches?

HI! Thanks for the page suggestion, I was following Nick's intruction from : Adding other bootloaders on the following page :

but before I use this I need to compile the hex file for the bootloader from the page http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/pfsample.zip

/ This is a stand-alone MMC/SD boot loader for megaAVRs. It requires a 4KB
/ boot section for code, four GPIO pins for MMC/SD as shown in sch.jpg and
/ nothing else. To port the boot loader into your project, follow the
/ instruction sdescribed below.
/
/ 1. Setup the hardware. Attach a memory card socket to the any GPIO port
/    where you like. Select boot size at least 4KB for the boot loader with
/    BOOTSZ fuses and enable boot loader with BOOTRST fuse.
/
/ 2. Setup the software. Change the four port definitions in the asmfunc.S.
/    Change MCU_TARGET, BOOT_ADR and MCU_FREQ in the Makefile. The BOOT_ADR
/    is a BYTE address of boot section in the flash. Build the boot loader
/    and write it to the device with a programmer.
/
/ 3. Build the application program and output it in binary form instead of
/    hex format. Rename the file "app.bin" and put it into the memory card.
/
/ 4. Insert the card and turn the target power on. When the boot loader found
/    the application file, the file is written into the flash memory prior to
/    start the application program. On-board LED lights (if exist) during
/    the flash programming operation.

			memset(Buff, 0xFF, SPM_PAGESIZE);	/* Clear buffer */
			pf_read(Buff, SPM_PAGESIZE, &br);	/* Load a page data */

}

which is the bootloader to upload the binary from the SD card.

Thanks for the help!

Did you get an SD card boot loader working on the Mega2560?
