Re: [avr-chat] Introduction, and flashing bootloaders with a USBTiny programmer

[Pierce Nichols]

Ah, ok, that makes sense -- I figured it was something like that. I will give it a spin when I have some time, which will likely be sometime next week.

You can give the SVN version of AVRDUDE a try if you want.  I
introduced memory region tracking some time ago.  Before, AVRDUDE did
not track of which areas had been actually loaded from a file and
which not, and always programmed everything (up to the highest
address).  Some programmer implementations then went ahead, and
skipped empty memory pages.

I intend to release AVRDUDE 6.0 "really soon now". ;-)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
