Bootloader test

[ignotus]

Given the new scenario of encrypted bootloaders, I'd say there's not really any point in having the old one installed because you won't be able to update future firmware versions with it anyway, so if programming the firmware directly with the ISP cable works fine for you, just stick with that.

yes...i can use the LEFT and RIGHT key to move through different options and use UP and DOWN to change the settings of that particular menu

Without ISP cable plugged in?

ok.... i wrote the firmware again.....unplugged the isp cable and replugged just the usb....yea...the keyboard is not working...
i could have sworn that keyboard was working without the isp cable plugged this morning.

I actually was about to say this.

got a few questions regarding that...so i guess its finalized that encrypted bootloaders will be used in the future. how can i buy the encrypted bootloader? Has this change already been implemented i.e. old bootloaders are useless?
Do we follow the same steps (in the documentation) for programming the firmware or it would be a bit different?
i programmed the firmware so i dont have to worry keeping the LEFT key pressed during startup and change the clock since i use the firmware corresponding to the crystal and number of inputs i use?
After programming the firmware, if i connect the peizos, i should be getting something on the VU meter?

sorry ...for bombarding with all the questions at once....have to go to university soon

thanks

Unrelated to the bootloader topic. Should be asked in a different topic.

alright....thanks a lot for the info dmitri...and i will post my questions under the proper topic...
