01:44 AM turq: is there a spec for how a boot file should be structured?
01:50 AM turq: i'm looking at https://github.com/matthijskooijman/arduino-platform-avr/blob/master/bootloaders/atmega8/ATmegaBOOT.hex and wondering how I could create something like this
02:05 AM nohit: again, that's a hex file
02:06 AM soreau: looks like you'd compile the .c file with the Makefile in the same directory
02:07 AM nohit: im not sure that you should be making a bootloader yet if you dont even understand what hex files are
02:10 AM nohit: but there's a place where all the required knowledge exists and people there are willing to give it to you. sadly i cant advertise that place anymore on this channel
02:13 AM nohit: but first you should understand how bootloaders work. write one with pseudo code first
02:16 AM nohit: and you should also understand linker scripts
02:16 AM nohit: this is pretty complex subject for a beginner
02:46 AM day: if only that place had chosen a proper channel name kek
02:54 AM nohit: openocd dont get releases very often
02:54 AM nohit: its still at 0.10.0
09:25 AM rue_mohr: sometimes a peice of software works
09:25 AM rue_mohr: and you stop changing it, cause it does what its supposed to
09:27 AM rue_mohr: heh, freenode is purging old nicks, I wonder how many people are gonna freak about that
09:29 AM Fuchikoma: If the nick is linked to another it should be fine. Honestly if you haven't logged in for months or years or whatever it doesn't seem like a huge deal
10:04 AM nohit: nah that's not how software works
10:05 AM nohit: certainly not ocd software
10:05 AM nohit: it gets commits everyday but for some reason the release cycle is long
12:06 PM skz81: nohit : just ignore ze leading zero(s) then ! :)
