[avrdude-dev] Incorporating AVR109 compliant bootloader in AVRDUDE project

[Enoch]

Dear AVRDUDE admin,

All my AVR8 projects incorporate some form of AVR109 compliant
bootloader to let endusers load firmware updates with no hardware tool
requirement. 

Since AVRDUDE is de-facto the most popular open-source firmware
up/down-loader in the AVR8 land I think that it would be advantageous
for the AVRDUDE community to have a matching and well-tested
bootloader included in its code base. On further development this
bootloader can overcome AVR109 protocol limits (such as having a 128KB
address space) and set an AVRDUDE standard.

In my latest project I derived the bootloader from Roland Riegel’s GPLv2
licensed BOOFA code (heavily modified). Here it is for your
consideration.

Thanks, Enoch.
