#avr Logs

04:57 AM Metalsutton: Hello. I have compiled avrdude-6.3
05:05 AM Metalsutton: alot of message boards on the net illude to linuxspi being a programmer that is apparently supported in 6.3, but i cannot see the option in the configuration summery after build
05:05 AM Metalsutton: aparently it was added as a patch, but i dont know how to add in any patches? should i be wget a version that is higher than 6.3, like a subversion?
05:05 AM exp: wow they really still use subversion don't they
05:07 AM twnqx: agreed
05:07 AM Metalsutton: it looks like it has the patch i need
05:08 AM exp: on a totally unrelated note, is anyone particularly knowledgable about the gnu linker? i'll explain
05:08 AM exp: i'm using ASF to build a featureful bootloader, and it's rapidly closing in on 16k in size. the xmegac3 i'm using has only 8k bootloader space, but also 8k of 'application table' space
05:09 AM exp: so, it's no problem to use a linker script to move a bunch of object files here, even main and the ISR vectors are fine, and i can lockbit it so it can't be overwritten
05:09 AM exp: but this is also an opportunity to save 8k of program space by making those symbols available to other code
05:09 AM exp: my question is, if i build a static library to represent this memory section, can i be sure that KEEP(etc) in the linker script will position each object file identically each time? Otherwise i'll end up linking against the wrong symbol address
05:12 AM Metalsutton: ./configure --enable-linuxspi
05:12 AM Metalsutton: -bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
05:13 AM Metalsutton: not sure why i cannot compile this version?
05:17 AM Metalsutton: oh hangon, dont worry.
