9cbe2d682d pureboot: every libavr chip — 37 loaders, the m48 class, the 644 geometry
The chip table becomes family blocks covering all 37 targets. The m48s
are a new deployment class: no boot section, so the tiny profile spoken
over the hardware USART — host-patched reset vector, trampoline
hand-over, a 510-byte budget (474 B built), no fuse preflight — while
their RWWSRE store stays the buffer discard (Atmel-8271 §26.2); the
device keys the patch flag and the CPU-halt waits on the curated
boot-section capability and the discard on the RWWSRE bit itself. The
644s' 64 KiB is exactly the 16-bit byte space: plain LPM, byte wire
addresses, 498 B in a 512-byte slot — and their 1 KiB minimum boot
section holds the resident and staging slots together, so self-update
needs no fuse step (the update test's slot pick now keys word-flash on
base >= 64 KiB; base + slot merely touching the boundary stays
byte-addressed). The 1284 joins the 1284P's word-addressed 1 KiB slot at
558 B. BOOT_FUSE gains every boot-sectioned family's ladder and fuse
byte; the planner exercises them all. The sim scaffolding keys
patch-vector-ness instead of the atmega name prefix, the fixture app
picks its clock by family (the tiny25/45/13 builds surfaced the 16 MHz
fallthrough as garbled banners), and the runner's wrapped flash ioctl
performs the m48 discard simavr's no-RWW cores turn into a stray buffer
fill. Sizes across the fleet: 466-504 B megas, 474 B m48s, 498 B 644s,
488-502 B tinies, 558 B 1284s — every chip passing
size/pi/planner/protocol/reloc/update.

0fa53e1cad pureboot: the classic megas and the word-addressed 1284P groundwork
Device: boot-section detection probes SPMCR beside SPMCSR, the link
picks any hardware USART through the instance-aware lookups (URSEL
chips included), WDRF reads MCUSR-or-MCUCSR, and the >64 KiB shape
lands — word-addressed wire flash (info flag bit 1, page byte 0 means
256, base as a word address), far reads through flash_load_far, a
single 32-bit byte-cursor page walk (the 256-byte page wraps its low
byte exactly), and slot arithmetic in words (the return address
already is one). Host: addresses stay bytes internally and scale at
the wire, the boot-fuse decode becomes a per-signature table (byte
index + BOOTSZ ladder — the m168A's lives in EXTENDED), and the
planner tests pin every chip's ladder plus the word-addressed info
decode. Tests: the device runner serves every mega over the USART pty,
pbapp banners over the right link, the update rehearsal synthesizes
its assumed fuses from the tool's own table, and the PI lint tracks
the renamed info symbol. All six classic-mega/168A targets pass the
full suite (size, PI, planner, protocol, reloc, self-update) at
466–504 B; the 1284P builds await a libavr far-path slimming to make
its 512.

7d046c3b89 pureboot: PI lint, tightened gates, and the self-update test suite
check_pi.py asserts the two link-time facts position independence rests on
(no absolute jmp/call; the info block within the image's first 256 bytes);
the size gates drop to 510 on the tinies for the trampoline word.

New per-chip tests beside the reworked protocol test: the planner units
(programming orders and their recovery properties, the surgery, staging
composition, boot-fuse decode, and the update preflight's error/warning
matrix over synthetic fuse bytes), the relocated-copy sweep (the identical
image installed one slot lower serves the full command set — the PI
acceptance test, and the one that caught the temporary-buffer trap), and
the self-update end-to-end: --update-loader to a re-timed build
(pureboot9, byte-different by PUREBOOT_TIMEOUT alone), then every
power-fail phase killed mid-write, restarted from the runner's flash dump,
and completed by a re-run with the application intact throughout. The mega
rounds run the BOOTRST-unprogrammed profile: the fixture application's 'L'
jump is the application-owned loader entry that profile relies on.
