Need Bootloader as Hex File

Hello Guy's,

i don't know if this is the correct Forum, but i hope so?

I'M building a prusa mendel with Gen7 1.2 Electronics and i'm totaly new to flashing bootloaders and that stuff.
I bought a AVR Dragon for flashing the bootloader, but as far as it seems to me the dragon isnt comptible with the
adruino IDE.
So i cant burn the bootloader from there. But in the repository for the gen7 Electronics thers only the source for the bootloader, and i don't really know how to compile that to a file.

So it would be really really great (really ! if somebody could send me the bootloader as hex file, wich i can burn with avr studio.
I'M using the AT mega 644 @ 20 MHZ.

regards
Stefan

I tried as well and couldn't upload a bootloader from the Arduino IDE either. The IDE tries to do this at high speed, which a factory fresh ATmega can't deal with. For working procedures, see [reprap.org]

To compile the Gen7 bootloader(s), use the make.sh shell script there. You'll also find the Gen7 Arduino IDE Support package (a .zip) in the release documents folder. Hex files are inside this .zip, just a bit hidden.
