Wouldn't it be worthwhile to add a method of specifying device fuses

I think something similar to the way the EEPROM and PROGRAM memory is
handled.

something like:

That would not be difficult at all. One could agree on the name of
some
section that contains data for the fuses and the lock-bits. One
would do
something like:

#define SET_FUSE_BITS(F1,F2,F3,L) unsigned char fuses[4]
__attribute___
((section (".fuses"))) = {F1,F2,F3,L};

The more time-consuming thing would be to teach your favorite
programming tool
to actually use the data in the .elf file.


Not at all...

#!/bin/bash
myprogram=$1; shift
avr-objcopy -j .fuses -O binary ${myprogram} fuses.bin
avrdude -p atmega128 -U lfuse:w:m:$(od -A n -t x1 -j 0 -N 1 fuses.bin
| tr -d ' ')
avrdude -p atmega128 -U hfuse:w:m:$(od -A n -t x1 -j 1 -N 1 fuses.bin
| tr -d ' ')
avrdude -p atmega128 -U efuse:w:m:$(od -A n -t x1 -j 2 -N 1 fuses.bin
| tr -d ' ')
avrdude -p atmega128 -U  lock:w:m:$(od -A n -t x1 -j 3 -N 1 fuses.bin
| tr -d ' ')


This is excellent. I think adding definitions for the various fuses for the various device types in the io header files + some docs on how to use it, would make life a lot easier. It seems that you are already using this approach. Have you defined macros that helps
in generating the correct fuse values ?

No, it just occurred to me that it would be easy to do.

I'd enjoy seeing a good way to do it; I'd probably use C++ templates since I'm using them for everything else (it's a great way to get small code!).
