-w switch
v1.23rev1 (2003-04-13)
- !
- Bytes 0xFF wasn't written into EEPROM if switch -e- and HEX-file
for EEPROM both exist in command line.
- !
- For -e- -b combination old EEPROM content was restored first, then
balnk check failed.
- !
- Specail forms of -c -d for OSCCAL writing w/o switches -w

- Attention! Fuse aliases support removed!
For example, -fb can't be used, use -fboden=0 or
-fboden=on instead.
- *
- fuse list for mega161 was corrected according to new documentation
(BODEN not exist, BLEVEL affect only on start-up timer and renamed to SUT).
v1.22rev9 (2002-09-02)
av122r9.zip (~115KB)
- !
- mega8 fuse list and flash memory page size were corrected
- !
- For chips with paged flash avreal sent too many page write
commands for pages with 0xFF bytes only
- *
- Switch -w must be specified for fuses writing.
v1.22rev8 (2002-04-15)
- !
- Some errors in EEPROM write code was fixed.
- !
- In rev7 block of code for fuse writing in new megaAVR was switched off.
v1.22rev7 (Wen 13-Feb-2002)

during avoiding some peculiarity of code word writing
in chips with paged flash - fixed.
- +
- mega8, mega16, mega128, mega323 added.
- +
- Modifier for swtich -L+#
for writing lock-bits before fuses writing (avoid 90s4433
bug in BODEN).
v1.22rev6 (Mon 21-Jan-2002)
- !
- feature "read chip if filenames exist but read/write/verify
operation not specified" forget to see on switch -e.
As result hex-files was overwritten by 0xFF if command line
-e filename.hex was used.
Now reading performed only with -r switch.
- !
- Peculiarity of AVRs with paged flash, not described in documentation:
If for some code word only one byte write command preformed,
into another byte value from previous code word will be writed.
This feature cause verification fail for HEX-files with non-complete
code words, for example, at end of ascii strings in code.
Now this situation checked and 0xFF byte added by avreal for
word completion.
- !
- avreal was exit by assert() for hex-files with end-of-file record
(:00000001FF) only. Such files generated by gcc for empty EEPROM sections.
- *
- Chip names for +name can be used with or without 'at' prefix
v1.22rev4 (Thu 09-Aug-2001)
- +
- flash and EEPROM content can be in one HEX-file now.
EEPROM content must start form address equal to size
of on-chip flash for specified chip.
Name of compound file must be present in command line wihout
switches -c -d. Feature disabled if two file names
or if one of -c -d switches present.
- +
- ON and OFF mnemonics for 1-bit fuses added.
-frcen=on is equal to -frcen=0,
-frcen=off is equal to -frcen=1.
- +
- RSTDSBL and SPIEN fuses writing for tiny12, tiny15 added.
Be careful!
-fspien=off or -frstdsbl=on will
disable in-circuit serial programming!
- *
- Changed write/verify order for avoiding "locking" chips
by spien or rstdsbl fuses if code or data writed unsuccessfully
was: changed to :
FLASH writing FLASH writing
EEPROM writing FLASH verification
FUSES writing EEPROM writing
FLASH verification EEPROM verification
EEPROM verification FUSES writing
FUSES verification FUSES verification
v1.22rev2 (Wed 23-May-2001)
- !
-
"Non-existent" (not listed in avreal tables) fuses was erased.
SPIEN and RSTDSBL for tiny12, tiny15 was not listed, SPIEN
was erased when fuses write executed and chips was "locked"
fuses SPIEB and RSTDSBL added in list, tiny12, tiny15 support enabled.
v1.22rev1 (Thu 03-May-2001)
- !!
-
SPIEN fuse erased in tiny12, tiny15 at any fuse write command.
tiny12, tiny15 support disabled until bug will be fixed.
v1.22rev0 (Mon 30-Apr-2001)
- +
- tiny12, tiny15, mega161, mega163 added

added for writing
OSCCAL value into code flash or data EEPROM.

+name must present always,
using 90s1200 by default disabled
- *
- '--' not needed if +name always present
and removed.
v1.21rev0 (Thu 15-Feb-2001)
- !
- Erase counter was not writed for not recognised chips even
with -! switch.
- +

av114r6.zip(~27Kb)
Many many many changes, many bugs fixed from avreal 1.00, summer'1998.
Sorry. I'm too lazy to translate from Russian to English changes history
for all old versions removed now from WWW page.
