There a a few org's spread around the sources, .overlap is basically the same. Sounds like gnu-as is not suitable, what a pity. Avra is 100% FOSS, compatible with the AVR tool and the only thing it needs is an active maintainer, that collects all the patches around. I've heard with all of them applied, amforth can be built. > > This will likely not work on the first try so I am interested to know what > I could do as a recovery process.

That *can* be a software bootloader, but amforth does not cooperate with them well (Enoch will tell you about boofa as the one exception) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
