end of flash memory where they can be read (at least in theory) by
device programmers, hex-file examination, or application programs.
This is done by putting the version number in a separate section
(".version"), and using linker/objcopy magic to locate that section as
appropriate for the target chip. (See
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/avr-gcc-list/2011-02/msg00016.html
for some discussion on the details.)
Start the version at 4.1 (the last "packaged" version of optiboot was
called version 3, so the "top of source" would be 4.0, and adding the
version number makes 4.1)
Refactor LDSECTION in the Makefile to LDSECTIONS so that multiple
section start addresses can be defined.
Change the _isp makefile definitions to make the bootloader section
readable (but not writable) by the application section. (This would
need to be done elsewhere as well to handle all bootloader programming
techniques. Notably Arduino's boards.txt
Note that this change does not change the "code" portion of optiboot
at all. The only diffs in the .hex files are the added version word
at the end of flash memory.

Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple i/o board and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP). The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free. For more information, see the website at: http://www.arduino.cc/ or the forums at: http://arduino.cc/forum/ To report a bug in the software, go to: http://code.google.com/p/arduino/issues/list For other suggestions, use the forum: http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/board,21.0.html INSTALLATION Detailed instructions are in reference/Guide_Windows.html and reference/Guide_MacOSX.html. For Linux, see the Arduino playground: http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/Linux CREDITS Arduino is an open source project, supported by many. The Arduino team is composed of Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, Gianluca Martino, and David A. Mellis. Arduino uses the GNU avr-gcc toolchain, avrdude, avr-libc, and code from Processing and Wiring. Icon and about image designed by ToDo: http://www.todo.to.it/
