Verify installation

Now your Arduino should be flashed with the new bootloader. If its not correctly installed read the instructions carefully and try again. For more help have a look here.

###Windows

To check if the installation worked fine open "Devices and Printers" under Windows and right click through the menus as in the picture below. You can also see the HoodLoader2 version (2.0.3 in this case).

See this if your Arduino does not change the name even if it should be installed all correct.

###Linux

# The easiest way to get information about your arduino is to run the command below
# and then plug in you arduino afterwards.
# Make sure it is in bootloader mode (double tab reset)
udevadm monitor --subsystem-match=usb --property | grep -E "REVISION|VENDOR|MODEL"

# sample output:
ID_MODEL_FROM_DATABASE=Uno R3 (CDC ACM)
ID_VENDOR_FROM_DATABASE=Arduino SA
ID_MODEL_FROM_DATABASE=Uno R3 (CDC ACM)
ID_VENDOR_FROM_DATABASE=Arduino SA
ID_MODEL=HoodLoader2_Uno
ID_MODEL_ENC=HoodLoader2\x20Uno
ID_MODEL_FROM_DATABASE=Uno R3 (CDC ACM)
ID_MODEL_ID=0043
ID_REVISION=0205
ID_VENDOR=NicoHood
ID_VENDOR_ENC=NicoHood
ID_VENDOR_FROM_DATABASE=Arduino SA
ID_VENDOR_ID=2341

# Use this to check all connected devices
lsusb -d 2341:

# 16u2 in bootloader mode example:
Bus 003 Device 122: ID 2341:0043 Arduino SA Uno R3 (CDC ACM)

# 16u2 running sketch example:
Bus 003 Device 121: ID 2341:484c Arduino SA

# To check if the connected device is a HoodLoader device
# Plug your Arduino in and run:
dmesg | tail

# example output:

# If you upload programs via AVR-Dude you can see the version number (might need verbose output):

If everything is okay you may remove the wires now (plug it out first to not destroy anything). Keep on reading on how to install the board definition files and use the HoodLoader2.
