I have  been using Volker Oth's distribution and I have recently re-built 
(using Cygwin) binutils, gcc ( both from the Cygnus CVS tree) and 
avr-libc-20001125 with the Atmel AVR Studio patch. I have also found it 
necessary to add the --change-section-lma to the .eep target. However I 
have also found it necessary to add

 -R .eeprom

to the .rom target.

Without this I get the eeprom code at the end of the rom image.

I am not an expert on binutils but it looks like the offset can be 
expalined by looking at the ld scrips template , elf32avr.sc, as follows:-
-----
MEMORY
{
  text      ( rx)    : ORIGIN = 0,    LENGTH = $TEXT_LENGTH
  data      (rw!x) : ORIGIN = 0x800060, LENGTH = $DATA_LENGTH
  eeprom (rw!x)  : ORIGIN = 0x810000, LENGTH = $EEPROM_LENGTH
}
.
.
----
In the latest version the eeprom origin is 0x810000 wheres in Volkers 
distribution it was 0, Similarly the origin for data was 0x60 in Volkers 
distribution as opposed to 0x800060 in the latest.

I have left the ld scripts intact and used the qualifiers in avr-objcopy, 
but can anyone explain why the origins have been set as above?

Thanks
