[avrdude-dev] Atmel serial boot-loader support

[roudy dagher]

Dear avr dudes,

I am a big fan of avrdude, and I use it a lot for my avr related projects.

Atmel released a serial bootloader (http://www.atmel.com/Images/doc8390.pdf),
and I recently wrote a client
for  downloading an image to the target using the serial port (in C posix,
under linux).
The protocol is very simple: handshake, download of image records with ack.
The binary image is written using the
.srec file format.

By checking the avrdude doc, I could not find any support for this feature.
So, in case it is not supported, I would like to contribute by proposing a
patch...
Note that I haven't analysed avrdude code yet, so if anyone have
some hints where to start, I would be very grateful.

Cheers,
Roudy
