Bare-Metal MCU #4 - Bootloaders and Programmers

This is the fourth video in a journey from Arduino to STM8. The goal is to begin with Arduino, which is a popular platform to serve as a starting point. I'll then break it down into a fundamental level, and then apply those fundamentals to other microcontrollers, such as the STM8.

This video focuses on how the Arduino bootloader works, and how you can program your microcontroller without it. It also shows how you can use an ISP programmer, or even turn a spare arduino into one instead!
