[avr-gcc-list] Re: bootloader / flash coding / avr

[Reza Naima]

I think I found the culprit to my woes.  I havn't been able to test it 
(need to go into office where the gear is at), but it seems that I was 
using a default Makefile which generated the binary using this syntax :

avr-objcopy -j .text -j .data -O binary

Thus, the .bootloader section would not be generated. (Grr..).  I 
removed the -j options, and the code grew from a few K to over 100K, 
which is about what I would have expected it be.  I should have been 
tipped off that the programming (via avarice) went so fast, but I 
thought it was just skipping over the unsued space.  .

What is the best way to generate a file to be uploaded (not sure the 
formats that avarice accepts) via objcopy where I'll be having a 
separate bootloader section?

Thanks,
Reza
