Weird, the prebuilt bin works for me in xubuntu 12.10. In theory it should not affect anything, except for the changed code start address.

@chicken: I've added precompiled bootloader images to the github repo. @igor: Thanks for the helpful suggestions. I agree that the code isn't very polished, will try to fix it up, get rid of magic numbers. To be honest, I didn't put much thought into that filesystem image. I've created it by making a 512kB file, formatting it to FAT12 with 512b sectors using mkfs.msdos, mounting it and adding a firmware.bin file of the right size. According to FAT documentation, f0 means a 1.44MB/2.88MB floppy. Like you said, it's just cosmetic, I didn't bother with it

The error when ejecting on Linux is harmless, I have no idea how to fix it. Check the latest version, I think I have fixed problems with uploading firmware via a file manager on Linux. The problem was that when using a file manager, copying a file to the drive interacts with the filesystem differently than just using cp from the command line! Edit: In the latest version, you don't have to name your file "firmware.bin" anymore!

Hi, I wanted to share a bootloader I wrote for the Stellaris Launchpad (and other boards/chips if you change it up a bit). The bootloader acts as a mass storage device, and allows for software update by simply moving a file to the device. No software or drivers needed! It's inspired by the bootloader found on some NXP LPC microcontrollers. The project was surprisingly easy thanks to the awesome Stellaris USB Library.
