I sent out for a prototype PCB that will be compatible with the arduino mega. I plan to use chips other than the atmega1280 though, such as the atmega2560, and atmega640. I would like to modify the adaboot bootloader to suit this family of microcontrollers.
1) Will you permit me to use your software. I am planning on making a product from my design.
2) I did a test to see if I could modify the code to work, but I received an error in avr studio stating I didn't have a required elf file. I think I'm capable of modding the code myself, but if you have any pointers I'd appreciate it. I mostly just need to know what is meant by an elf file is missing.
P.S. Just ti let you know, if I had gotten the code to work I would have still asked permission to use it.
Thanks

Re: adaboot question
the code is open source i belive it is GPL'd so you can use it if you keep your code GPL'd
however, i dont have lots of time so you'll have to port it yourself!

Re: adaboot question
I got a version of ADABoot supporting the Atmega640, and I'm able to upload sketches in the arduino environment. I had to modify the core to recognize the 640, but thats it on the arduino side. I attached the code if you want it.
