That system wouldn't be an AVR anymore, as this assumption is based on the way NOR flash works. Apart from this (and apart from Arduino's buggy bootloader), you're flogging a dead horse. The SVN version keeps track of which memory regions have been loaded from an input file and which haven't. Nevertheless, Arduino should fix their bootloader bug. If they are asked for a chip erase, they are responsible to act as if the chip had been erased, no matter *how* they are going to implement it. Everything else is asking for trouble. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
