Well, "quite universal" is a quite relative term here. Did you consider that AVRDUDE runs on (at least) Win32, Linux, MacOS X, Solaris and FreeBSD operating systems? How many of these do implement a sysfs gpio interface? In other words, what will be gained by adding this patch, even if it is (which I assume -- you didn't tell) Linux-only? Are there any advantages over the existing implementations, in particular in the light of most recent PC hardware configurations not offering any IO port that could be bit-banged directly (like a classical printer port)? Also, the best way to submit patches is through the patch tracker interface. Patches submitted by email tend to get lost once the discussion about them faded away. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
