	The goal of this page is to explain how to get the autopilot bootloader onto a ''brainless'' new ARM based autopilot board. Note that the bootloader only needs to be installed '''once''', when the board is first built and has never been used. Most of the times if you bought a board somewhere, the bootloader is already installed for you. If you did not make ~~and soldered the Autopilot~~ board ~~yourself~~ but ~~bought~~ it ~~somewhere~~, chances are high the bootloader is already uploaded onto your board by the manufacturer. You could ask the supplier of your board. In that case you can just '''skip''' the steps described here and just continue the part of [http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Paparazzi_Center Uploading the Flightplan code to your autopilot board] or if you are more experienced you could go [http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Compiling here]		The goal of this page is to explain how to get the autopilot bootloader onto a ''brainless'' new ARM based autopilot board.

	It is strongly advised that you use a USB-serial converter with of the [[www.ftdichip.com\|FTDI brand]] chip, as serial chips from the FTDI brand are by default working well in Linux. As a nice bonus, the Paparazzi ground station software is configured to look for modems on FTDI ports by default, the converter can likely serve as a modem interface after it's use in Bootloader uploading.
