[avrdude-dev] config file change

[Theodore A. Roth]

Hi,

I'm still working on the avr910 stuff.

The avr910 needs a devicecode in the config file like the stk500 does. 
Sadly, the codes are not compatible.

If there any objection to changing the config file format as such:

 #       bs2              = <num> ;                # pin name in hex, i.e., 0xA0


This will make old config files break. If backwards compatibility is needs, 
we could have the parse set stk500_devcode if it sees devicecode.

I think it would be best to just error out if the parser sees devicecode and 
tell the user to change their config file as such:

  sed 's/devicecode/stk500_devcode/' avrdude.conf
