Which firmware and how to get it? PCB v2.8 Atmega32

[Nogi]

Dear forum,


two years ago i bought an all-in-one PCB V2.8 by Synthex. I never had time to built it until now. I finally did it. And it works! I am so happy!
Unfortunately i only have a firmware of 2009...
Can anyone tell me which firmware is the best for my atmega 32 without encryted bootloader?
If i want newer firmwares, do i still have to send you, dmitri, the chip for the encrypted bootloader? Would it be better to buy a new chip like the Atmega644 (Can i buy an new chip with the newest firmware installed from you?)? This one ist better for newer firmwares, isn´t it?
I would really like to get new updates. The new ones seem to be so awesome and much better than mine of 2009...

Thank you for your answers and your wonderful project.

Regards,
Nogi

But in fact i would like to get the newest one...

Atmega644 is pin compatible with Atmega32. See Atmega bulk order topics about getting Atmega644, e.g. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1552

Ok, thanks for the advice. I am on the V8-orderlist.
I wonder, if i also have to change the clock from 16 to 20 or even higher to 24 Mhz? This would be better, wouldn´t it? Or do i have to change anything else to go up higher in clockspeed?

Thanks,

Nogi
