Programming

Apogee autopilot can reprogrammed in two different ways:

  • using the MCU native (embedded in rom) DFU USB bootloader over the on-board USB header (so pre-loading an "external" bootloader is useless)
    • required hardware : usb cable with usb-mini connector
    • required software : dfu_util tool (present in ubuntu repository)
  • using the SWD (Serial Wire Debug) connector
    • required hardware : usb cable with usb-mini connector, molex to 2.54mm pitch pin cable, swd part of a cheap stm32 evaluation board (any discovery board, start @ 8$)
    • required software : st_flash and st_util, have to be compiled from source (https://github.com/texane/stlink)
