XLoader

Hi!
I’m stuck, xloader freeze in ‘uploading…’ and cant close it, only killing process in task manager. open xloader again and the serial port is not avalaiable. help?

hi!
i have a uno3. but upload fail…plz help me~

@Geir Lunde,

Thanks ! Works like a charm on my Arduino Mega (1280) and XP system !

Hi!
Does this software work with WinXP?
I sent a device to a friend, and we were trying to update the firmware with XLoader. It works perfectly well on my system (Win7), but gives “Upload failed” on his WinXP. I checked and he has .net 4.0 installed. What else could be wrong?

Spitze, Danke läuft gut

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! REALLY!

Now I just need a port to Mac and Linux. Oh well… Nice job. Congrats.

Perfect!!, just what a needed, simple and flawless (so far)

Getting a error ‘libusb0.dll is missing’ and upload fails. Any ideas?

Hello,
Is it possible to add the Arduino NG or Older W/Atmega8 board?

hi
can you please write the comand your program writes to avr dude in order to upload hex file to arduino 2560 with bootloader alrady on it.

Great!

Uploaded onto my “promini 3.3v , atmega328p” with FTDI Basic

by changing to:
“Uno(ATmega328);m328p;stk500;57600;” in devices.txt.

Hi, does anyone know what the problem is, if the upload to an arduino uno just goes on and on and on? the RX/TX lights flash once in a while but nothing is happenning and the upload never ends? Any advice would be appreciated.

Things just weren’t easy prior to the concept of promotional gifts being used as being a part of branding exercises; however, conception that everything is usually used for branding or promotion dependant on the specific requirement provided it functions well and fails well on the receivers

Great job.
Thanks for this handy tool. Worked flawlessly with my Arduino Mega 2560.

Can this be run as a command line so it can launch from within an IDE?

Hello
Thanks for this utility.
But it is not possible to programm the EEPROM part from AVR?

@Arend

Yes it is to add other devices, just edit devices.txt.

Hello,
Is it possible to add the Leonardo board?

I am very thankful to above software . it is very nice working software .

Congratulations on your initiative. We are working with the 1284p suggested by manicbug in http://maniacbug.wordpress.com/2011/11/27/arduino-on-atmega1284p-4/. You can make the adjustment to Xloader 1284P firmware update? We are available for any tests. Thank you.

can we use it to burn pic using arduino as isp

Works nice on Uno v3.
Great job. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing,

works nice, good work!

Thanks! Very easy to use and helpful.

Thats what I was looking for, I use Flowcode 5 avr pro and was not able to load the hex file into my Arduino Dumelove 328p.
This is wonderfull work thanks.

This is very very helpfull, thanks allot !! it works perfectly !

Keep it up, champion! Precisely what I had to obtain.

Hello! Thank You for the awesome program! Question: can your program pulse the DTR line or whatever on the FTDI chip right before it uploads? the reason is, due to the location of the arduino (deep inside my engine bay) it is A LOT of work to get the arduino to reset. I believe the arduino IDE pulses this line before, and after the upload. It would be AWESOME if you can do that… and if you do, please email me a donation link so i can show my appreciation

fwiw, I am also interested in the mega 2560 beta, as i’m about to start using those now that the mega1280 is not available

coooooooooooooooooooooool man

any chance of getting the source posted? I’ve been looking to integrate “firmware” updating in a dot.net app I wrote to control my arduino project, while I’m pretty sure your app is just feeding command line args to avrdude, would like to be able to confirm what they are. If not I understand. Thanks, and nice clean UI!

The solution is to use ‘arduino’ as the programmer when uploading to the Uno and using ‘wiring’ as the programmer when uploading to the Mega.

You mentioned a beta version for the Mega 2560. Can you please send me a version? Thanks!

it does not overide the bootloader right?

I tried Mega(ATMEGA2560);m2560;115200 but the upload failed. It would be good if it worked. Very handy utility, especially if you dont want to share your source code.

Hello, does this program also support the Arduino Atmega2560?
I always recive a upload failed message.

I cannot get this tool to launch. It immediately crashes – Windows 7 Home Premium. Here’s the error generated:

@admin
I try on arduino software, arduino uploader and yourprogram. I connected tx,rx and power supply only. Should I wire sth else to rst port? I changed port com, for few seconds there is port in arduino settings, but it disapear and make error ‘there is no selected port – change port’.
Thanks for quick answer, this is very important to me.

hi,
i have a huge problem with my arduino. I want to upload program by BT module, but COM port which sends data is always in use by something so I couldnt set this port in arduino software and in uploader how to check what uses com port??
please heeeelp

@BuFu
yaaaay! after i spent few hours (being a complete noob) i successfully uploaded the hex on my chipkit max32 arduino mega clone… i entered folder where arduino processing software is (mpide.exe) opened hardware/tools/avr then hold shift and right click, press Open Command Window Here and typed:

avrdude.exe -C ../etc/avrdude.conf -c stk500v2 -P COM3 -p pic32 -b 115200 -U flash:w:”C:\Users\Fr0sty\Desktop\Laser\simen-grbl-74576a8\grbl.hex”:i -v

succes!

Is there any chance you can make it compatible with chipkit max32 (arduino mega clone)

Great tool! I was able to upload to UNO a long program. Highly recommended! There should be a lot of people that want this program on arduino forum. Any recent posts?

BTW, the about says all rights reserved. So what is the license of the software to its users? Thanks.

Thanks a million that saved me from having to teach students Arduino framework as I want to teach them the assembly and dirty stuff first.

great program, really nice!!!
keep up the good work!

Hi,
Thanks for publishing the software, it became very useful to me. Working on Duemilanove (328) without any problem. As an advice you can change the status text (at bottom left corner) while starting to upload. It will be nice while tweaking the code where you need to upload over and over again.
Regards,
bekir

Hello,
I have a problem. we get a signal 79 after running.
And, RaiseException in from C:\\WINDOWS\system32\kernel132.dll

Any idea ?

Good evening

Uploads to Duemilanove (328) but will not upload to Uno.

@Matt
I had to use this to successfully send using AVRDude… I had to take out the baud rate parameter: -F -v -pm328p -cstk500v1 -P\\.\COM3 -D -Uflash:w:”C:myfile.hex”:i

I’m just tried with Uno as well, and received Upload Failed. Using the 328 and baud of 115200 as well. Any other ideas?

Parabéns pelo software.

nice tiny tool, works fine with my chinese duemilanove clone, thanks

I am currently testing it with Arduino Uno, but it returns “Upload failed”.

Using Arduino Uno (ATMega32) with original bootloader, USB cable on port COM10.

XLoader settings:
Duemilanove/Nano (ATMega328)
COM10
Baud rate 115200, tried also the original 57600 and even 9600 ), no luck.

If you will modify the project and don’t have an Arduino Uno to test it, then I am willing to do it for you.

Hello,
Thanks for this usefull utility. Is it working with arduino uno?
I tried it but it freezed and nothing happened.

Thank you very much ! and happy year !
