Since nobody else answered this, I will. I'm only a novice at the AVR, but here's what I can tell you about the bootloader... Some AVRs (all the Mega parts?) have the ability to program themselves. So what most people do is install a small program in the chip to handle this programming. Then, instead of having to use a programmer circuit you can just connect to the PC or whatever and download the program, which the bootloader then programs into the chip's memory.

One brute force way would be to make a composite hex file by cutting and pasting the boot loader he file data, minus the EOF record, into the application's hex file. Having done that, use any programming tool (Studio, PonyProg, etc.) that accepts a hex file for input and have at it. Bruce upand_at_them wrote:

I use a atmega32 with bascom with the sample electronics programmer. I do not use the boot loader. Can I free up memory to allow more program room? JoeT
