Xboard-Load optiboot bootloader

hi All,
recently i bought Xboard-A at DFRobot. it's Fio Arduino with wiznet ethernet in 1 board. since ethernet application really need optiboot to apply wdt on the skecth, i believe it also needed at Xboard-A as well. unfortunately, seems xboard-a doesn't have optiboot installed on it. is there somebody has been upgrade the original xboard bootloader to optiboot here ? please info if there any successful proccess on this matter.
thanks.
regards, --roy

2. Soldered 6 pins header on ICSP ports at xboard-a.
3. plug tinyUSB to ICSP and connect it to computer appropriately.
4. avrdude -c usbtiny -p m8
if you get failed response, replug the USB cable and try again.
5. avrdude -b 19200 -c usbtiny -p m328p -v -e -U efuse:w:0x05:m -U hfuse:w:0xD6:m -U lfuse:w:0xFF:m
6. avrdude -b19200 -c usbtiny -p m328p -v -e -U flash:w:optiboot_atmega328.hex -U lock:w:0x0F:m
7. Put FTDI basic to xboard-a connected to computer appropriately
8. Load IDE (mine 0022 release) and choose Fio on the board option.
9. you're ready to load your sketch to xboard-a.

2011-07-29 22:54:53 with some experiments using tinyUSB, optiboot and a little bit of luck, i successfully upgraded the original xboard bootloader to optiboot version and get it works. ;D
