Universal Bootloader for Kinetis K60 Microcontroller
Krůpa, Tomáš ; Crha, Adam (referee) ; Šimek, Václav (advisor)
The scope of this work was to design a bootloader for Kinetis K60, an ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller. The bootloader should simplify the process of loading user applications to the flash memory of the microcontroller on the Minerva development kit. Based on a quick research of existing bootloader solutions, new bootloader was designed together with communication protocol that would suit the needs for transfer of both the file data and configuration information through all the supported communication interfaces - USB, SDHC, Ethernet and RS-232. On the PC side, development of bootloader’s application library and two supporting utilities with graphical and command line interfaces was made. The system can be used out of the box as well as it can be further extended in the future.

Enhancement of gait and control of six-legged walking robot Cerna Vdova
Krejsa, Jan ; Kopečný, Lukáš (referee) ; Kříž, Vlastimil (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with control, operating and remote programming of a six-legged walking robot. It is devided into six chapters. The introduction chapter is about remote programming. The second chapter describes possible walking ways of six-legged chassis. Furthermore this thesis deals with the overcoming of obstacles, thus to walking on uneven ground. The following chapter discusses the possibilities of wireless communication. The last two chapterss describes the hardware and software of the robot.

Bootloader for Sci-Trace
Novák, Lukáš ; Novotný, Jan (referee) ; Šteffan, Pavel (advisor)
In this thesis analyze in detail issue Bootloader for microcontrollers AVR and made proposal for implementation to the device Sci-Trace. Modification electronics part deal with patch board, where used connect between others module and control board. Control Board handle with computer and individually module. Example others module are control optics or control stepper motors. From user interface is resolve choice information display for show temperature inside the device. From mechanical part is resolve store electronic part to the rack section. From programming part is create firmware for control board and others module. For users operation is create program for operation system for upgrade application firmware to microcontroller.

System for Programming Minerva Platform
Dohnal, Michal ; Strnadel, Josef (referee) ; Bidlo, Michal (advisor)
Theoretical part of this thesis studies several concepts and interfaces being used for programming microcontrollers (MCUs) and reconfiguration of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) with closer look at those, which are available for MCU Kinetis K60 and FPGA Spartan-6 in circuitry given by the architecture of educational kit Minerva. This knowledge is employed in practical section which describes deployment of the supporting firmware belonging to group of firmwares so-called bootloaders. Finally the application QDevKit3 is introduced, that is based on this firmware, representing effective and fast way for easy programming of FLASH memory on Kinetis MCU using USB interface.

Creation of an experimental wireless sensor network
Piro, Šimon ; Šimek, Milan (referee) ; Botta, Miroslav (advisor)
In this thesis, there will be experimental wireless sensor network created. Simple mo- nitoring application will be running on this network and storing data in database. For easier maintaining of network, there will be prototype system created, which will allow remote firmware upload to network nodes. This system will use Bootloader application from Atmel company combined with Serial to Ethernet converter. This system will al- lows mass upload of firmware to nodes from any place in the world with Internet access. Information about network will be stored in database which will include table for nodes and connections where its possible to see link quality for each link in the network.

Remote maintenance of the microcontroller systems
Vágner, Martin ; Hynčica, Ondřej (referee) ; Kučera, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis deals with methods of remote maintenance of microcontroller systems based on Atmel AVR family over the Ethernet interface and TCP/IP protocols. To create communication through TCP/IP, an embedded server NE-4100T is used. At the beginning, key features of the server and methods of handling with content of a program memory are discussed. The final solution is based on the bootloader method. It includes bootloader firmware and user program for PC. The hardware part covers design of interconnection electronics, DC-DC step down converter, real time clock and printed circuit board. The remote maintenance of program memory has been sucessfully solved, but the embedded server NE-4100T produces a problem with an auhentification without a sufficient solution.

Present-day Programming Method of Microcontroller
Medla, Eduard ; Matyáš, Pavel (referee) ; Zuth, Daniel (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is dedicated to modern methods of programming microcontrollers. In this work are examined some programming languages, various programming environments and graphic editors. In every methods of programming are explained their advantages and disadvantages. Here are two examined methods of loading program to microcontroller, so called flashing. Choosed method is programming language C, which was used to programme two-state regulator with hysteresis in environment AVR Studio 6.2.
