How do I manually upload to the Arduino DUE?

[Patrick Ireland]

I have implemented a JAVA based make tool for use with Arduino DUE.

I have successfully reverse engineered up to the construction of the xyz.cpp.bin file using the arm-none-eabi-object utility.

However, I now need to upload the xyz.cpp.bin file to the DUE and launch same on the DUE.

I can see where a "reset" is performed.

Looking in the hardware\tools\g++arm_none_eabi\bin directory, the following tools are available:

What is needed to upload the bin file to the DUE and start it executing?

Is there more than more step to the upload? If so, what might they be?

Does the IDE working with DUE make use of the bossac.exe program?

Do you know about turning on "verbose" mode in the Arduino preferences? Here's the end part of the log from a verbose Due "upload" (to a port that doesn't have a Due on it…)

/Applications/arduino/Arduino-1.5.2.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/g++_arm_none_eabi/bin/arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary /var/folders/jz/5yb8f2hr8xjcpf0059bsfz4r0000gn/T/build7919858949275119760.tmp/Blink.cpp.elf /var/folders/jz/5yb8f2hr8xjcpf0059bsfz4r0000gn/T/build7919858949275119760.tmp/Blink.cpp.bin

Forcing reset using 1200bps open/close on port /dev/tty.usbserial-A20e1eAN

/Applications/arduino/Arduino-1.5.2.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/bossac --port=tty.usbserial-A20e1eAN -U false -e -w -v -b /var/folders/jz/5yb8f2hr8xjcpf0059bsfz4r0000gn/T/build7919858949275119760.tmp/Blink.cpp.bin -R

So:
1, 2) Looks like two steps: cause a board reset and then do the upload with "bossac"
3) yes.

It goes slightly differently for "native USB port" vs "programming port"
