## Upgrading Firmware {#firmware} ## Upgrading Firmware to Marlin 2.x {#firmware}
Probably your Anet A8 won't have a bootloader, but you will need one to flash custom firmware. I used Arduino IDE and a USBAsp to do this Probably your Anet A8 won't have a bootloader, but you will need one to flash custom firmware. I used Arduino IDE and a USBAsp to do this:
(WIP)
* [Install Arduino IDE](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software) 1.8.x
* Clone https://github.com/SkyNet3D/anet-board and copy the contents of the "hardware" folder inside the "hardware" folder of your arduino install (the location of this depends on your OS, search for it)
* Launch Arduino IDE, go to Tools/Board and select Anet 1.0 (optiboot)
* Go to Tools/Programmer and select your programmer (I used a USBAsp, use what you have, even an Arduino as ISP)
* Go to Tools/Burn bootloader. This will flash the bootloader to your board and wipe the flash memory. It can take a while. If it fails with some "signature verification error" most likely you have a faulty connection
* Now you can install Marlin 2.x. There's Marlin 2.0.9.3 sources in the Anet A8/Marlin folder, with Configurations for my current hotend, which has an offset compared to the original. [Read how to build Marlin Firmware here](https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin)
