I have recently augmented an application by adding external NV RAM
(AT90CAN128, DS1244), using the NV RAM for data I - so far - kept in EEPROM.
For debugging/maintenance purposes it would be nice to have an easy way
to - very occasionally - manually inspect/modify some few bytes of NV
RAM storage - for instance to request an application to, at boot time,
re-initialize the NV RAM from a template that is kept in flash memory.
Avrdude design restricts interactive access to a set of memory types
which - for obvious reasons - does not include RAM (reasons that do not
apply to external RAM). Did somebody come across this question and can
suggest an easy-to-implement solution?
At present I consider to continue using eeprom to flag special actions
that should be done at boot time (and where I can manipulate the flag
with Avrdude) - would be more consistent if actions on SRAM could be
flagged in SRAM.
