OTOH, the lowercase form has been in use in the AVR-GCC toolchain all the time, and the compiler only accepts it as lowercase. But of course, I wouldn't mind if other tools accepted it in any case. > By the way avrdude uses (and used to require) a "code" of m16 for > that chip. What about requiring "m16"? AVRDUDE only offers that as a shortcut alias. It accepts the long name as well, and it is case independant when accepting the name. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
