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

# 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

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.
