[avrdude-dev] [bug #35456] The progress bar for STK500V2 programmer is "wrong".

[Joerg Wunsch]

Update of bug #35456 (project avrdude):

                  Status:                    None => In Progress

Follow-up Comment #4:

Well, due to all the changes with respect to handling files 
with "holes", the progress reporting is now relative to the 
entire size of the respective memory region, rather than 
relative to the highest file address.

So if you have a file that contains a small application 
part at the beginning, followed by a bootloader part at the 
top (e.g. since you want to use SPM instructions), the 
progress bar proceeds as normal for the lower memory area, 
then jumps to the bootloader region, and eventually completes.

I think this is a feature rather than a bug. ;-)

I don't say this is something that cannot be changed at all, 
but displaying the progress relative to the overall memory 
size seems to make some sense to me.

Opinions?
