This builds a USB DFU compatible boot loader for sam3u based boards.
try
make BOARD=at91sam3u-ek
or
make BOARD=osmo-sdr
depending on your board type.
The result is a < 16kBytes file in the ./bin/ subdirectory, which you can
flash using JTAG, SAM-BA or rum-ba to the beginning of FLASH0.
The DFU loader will check in early boot if the "DFU button" is set. If yes,
it will enter the DFU mode, if not it continuest to boot directly the
application.
DFU button mappings:
at91sam3u-ek: Button marked PB-LEFT on the board
osmo-sdr: PA12 (can be closed with a jumper on the header)
The regular application program can change from run-time to DFU mode quite
easily. In fact, this happens using a standardized USB control request and is
thus already implemented in the at91lib.git on git.gnumonks.org.
You can switch the device from runtime into DFU mode using
dfu-util -e -d 0x16c0:0x0763
After that, you can flash a new application image into the respective partition using
dfu-util -d 0x16c0:0x0763 -a0 -D ./bin/my-foobar-project-dfu.bin
which should show something like:
Opening DFU capable USB device... ID 16c0:0763
Run-time device DFU version 0100
Found DFU: [16c0:0763] devnum=0, cfg=1, intf=0, alt=0, name="OsmoSDR DFU Interface - Application Partition"
[...]

state(7) = dfuMANIFEST, status(0) = No error condition is present
state(2) = dfuIDLE, status(0) = No error condition is present
However, that application has to be built using a compatible linker script.
building application firmware for DFU
=====================================
This needs a special linker script which is implemented as dfu.lds in the
at91lib repository on git.gnumonks.org. You can then build your project to
get linked to the "application partition" using
make dfu
in the respective project directory
There is a 'usb-fast-audi-source' project that can be used for demonstration
purpose, it has 'make BOARD=osmo-sdr dfu' support
