fe0d9f8790 build: the submodule is how libavr arrives; the era already carries it 
The pin the whole history now encodes becomes the primary route: the
submodule default replaces FetchContent and the unpinned forge fallback,
LIBAVR_ROOT stays as the tandem-development override, the presets already
take the toolchain file from the submodule, and the Studio projects anchor
their include path there — correct by construction. The version tags and
the one-command historical build are documented beside the version map.

3ce817ea03 ide: the Atmel Studio solution master has, on the libavr port 
master carries bootloader.atsln, so main does too. Two projects, because a
.cppproj is one binary at one flag set and this build has hundreds: the stock
328P pureboot loader (USART0 at 115200 on a 16 MHz crystal), and the tsb_asm
tier that occupies the same 512-byte section master's own tsb project targeted.
Both come out byte-identical to the Ninja build — 404 B and 510 B of .text —
in both configurations.

Debug keeps -Os and adds only -gdwarf-4. A loader's section is a correctness
bound, and -Og builds this source to 590 B: the link at 0x7e00 accepts that
without a diagnostic, 78 bytes past flash end, where rcall/rjmp wrap modulo
flash size and the image dies just after activation. Debug info costs no flash,
so the optimisation level stays where correctness needs it.

af0dd15a77 tsb: the policy floor, measured and kept 
A fourth tier answering one question: what does the full TinySafeBoot
feature set cost in C++ under pureboot's rules — no assembly, no
register variables, every pureboot lesson applied. 638 bytes, protocol
suite green: 198 below the idiomatic tier, 126 above the 512 B section,
and above the tiers that pay with the banned mechanisms (526 global
registers, 510 with two asm routines). The gap decomposes into the rent
policy-clean C++ pays for state held across calls — push/pop and
argument threading a global-register protocol avoids — and both
control-flow merges tried measured larger than the split cases they
replaced, while the data merge (one send loop over both memories) paid.
The tiers stay; this one keeps the floor an artifact instead of a claim.

a54075e526 test: the device runner refuses an image that runs past flash end 
A boot-linked image larger than its slot cannot execute on hardware, and
the naive copy smashed the heap beyond avr->flash — after which the
simulation misbehaved in ways that pointed everywhere but at the size:
phantom byte losses on the UART, garbage in SPMCSR, all downstream of
the overrun. The size gate had said it plainly; now the runner does too.

aec430c2e1 docs: name the two data-space regions a poke cannot survive 
Writing 0x60-0x61 on an ATtiny13A reliably garbled the link, which looked like a
loader defect. It is the loader's own footing: .noinit lands at exactly 0x60,
size 2, and on an autobaud build that is unit_ — the measured bit period, and the
whole of its static RAM. Overwrite it and the next reply is timed against
garbage, so the symptom is a mangled prompt byte and no error, because nothing
went wrong except the rate both ends had agreed on.

Identical in kind to poking the stack at the top of SRAM, and cleared by a reset.
test/pbautobaud.py already steered its RAM round-trip clear of the bottom of SRAM
for this reason; only the README had not said it. Both regions are named there
now, beside the note that --poke does reach OSCCAL but that a session survives
only a step or two of moving the clock under itself.

9a8a5b0082 tools: measure the images, and hold the README to what is built 
The size matrix proves every image fits its slot and says nothing about the
numbers the README prints. Those drift silently: caller_page() took eight bytes
off every build at once, so all fifteen rows went stale together and no test
noticed, because nothing was over budget. sizes.py check-readme compares the
table against the built images; sizes.py max reports the largest image per chip
and anything over its slot.

It is a check rather than a generator, so the table stays prose someone can
write. No chip geometry lives here either: the image/budget pairs come out of
each build's own CTestTestfile.cmake, which is what the gate checks, so a chip
added or a budget changed needs no edit. Only trees a preset still owns are
read — a stale directory answers with a size that was true once.

16243 images across 37 chips today, none over budget, tightest tsb_asm at 510
of 512.

7702c6b700 test: gate autobaud's logic floor, and say what an RC oscillator costs 
The ATtiny13A run left autobaud's low-clock lock looking unreliable: 1/5 at
19200 on a 1.2 MHz RC part. The simulator does not reproduce it. At an exact
clock the calibration is solid down to ~36 cycles a bit and fails outright by
~31 — a sharp edge, not a fraying one — where the real part was already 1 in 5
by ~59. So the effect is the oscillator's own jitter and not backend logic, and
the two floors are different quantities about a factor of two apart.

Both are worth having. pureboot.autobaud gates a tight-bit point, since its two
existing clock points both sat near 100 cycles a bit and would not notice the
floor moving. The README carries the other half: both floors side by side, the
per-clock envelope measured on silicon, and the reason budgeting the logic's ~36
on an RC part is wrong.

It also carries the trap that produced the confusion. On a patched-vector chip an
erased application region walks back up into the loader, so every expired window
opens another and the host's retries eventually catch the pulse — 5/5 where the
same part with an application resident gives 1/5. Measure with an application in
place, or the fixture flatters the backend.

77dd45aeca pureboot.py: an update follows the staging copy onto its own link 
--update-loader works by entering copies of the *new* image and letting them
rewrite the resident. Those copies speak the link they were built for, but the
host went on knocking with the session's baud and backend — the resident's. Where
the image changed either, the staging copy was installed and then never answered:
resident untouched, and on a 1 KiB tiny the staging slot is the whole application
region, so the application was already gone.

The wire cannot be probed for it. 512 bytes of position-independent code carry no
header saying what rate they were built for, so the operator declares it:
--staged-baud and --staged-autobaud, applied from the jump into the staging copy
onward. Retuning goes through the open port — SetCommState or tcsetattr on the
live handle, never a reopen — because a DTR pulse would reset the copy being
talked to. Undeclared against a changed link it still cannot work, but the error
now names that as the cause instead of reporting the bare activation timeout that
sent the operator looking at wiring.

The README's idempotence claim needed the same qualification: from step 2 a
re-run must reach the new image, and after step 3 word 0 points at the staging
copy, so on a patched-vector part the resident's link reaches nothing at all.

Found on an ATtiny13A, where two controls differing only in the activation window
updated cleanly and so isolated the link as the variable.

433bec3e58 tools: a hardware harness, so a board can be proven and not just a protocol 
check.sh proves the protocol under simavr on every chip; it cannot prove a
board. Two things live only on silicon — an RC oscillator that is not on its
nominal, and a reset edge that has to come from somewhere — and until now the
scripts that reached them were per-session scratch on the machine holding the
programmer, which is where the ATtiny13A run's findings nearly stayed.

pbrig.py is the primitives, knowing nothing per-board: every deployment fact is
a flag or a PUREBOOT_* variable. Two rig facts are encoded in it because neither
is guessable and each cost a session to learn: an ISP access *is* the reset edge
where the adapter's DTR is unwired, so a session begins with an ISP touch and
knocks immediately after; and avrdude splits -U on colons, so a Windows drive
letter breaks the spec and every file goes as a bare name with avrdude run in
its own directory. Its `rate` subcommand is the one that turns "the loader is
silent, so the wiring must be wrong" into a number, by sweeping the host rate
against a fixed cycles-per-bit transmitter — PUREBOOT_HEARTBEAT makes the
existing fixture into one, software link only, since the hardware-link idle owes
the self-update tests its command loop.

pbhw.py takes every bound from the info block the loader reports, so one run
covers a 1 KiB tiny and a 128 KiB mega alike. Both are exercised on an ATtiny13A:
backup verified against a known-good capture, the clock measured at 9.048 MHz
against a 9.6 MHz nominal, and the suite 11/11.

e89000f73e pureboot: the pin axis, and the mute it was hiding 
Pins move the image for exactly one reason — a bit-banged link on a USART's own
pins has to release that USART — and the matrix said outright that they were no
axis, so the tightest configuration in the space was one nothing built. Not
subtly, either: the 1284's slot ends at flash end, so that build does not merely
exceed the size test's limit, it fails to link. pureboot_{sw,autobaud}_on_usart
{0,1} are gate points in both matrix modes now, and the exhaustive sweep carries
the pins across its whole cross product. The hand-measured table is the gate's
output: 506 B of 512 for the 1284 autobaud on USART0's pins, 504 on USART1's.

pureboot.mute drives the defect itself — an application hands over with USART0
still enabled and the loader on those pins must still answer. Reaching that
needed the runner to know an enabled USART owns its TxD, which simavr does not
model at all: it wires a USART through IRQs and never takes the pin from the
port. It also brings UCSRnB up with TXEN already set where silicon clears the
register, so the runner restores the reset value for the USART it models — the
mute must come from the application, not from power-on. The fixture stays
silent, since nothing is listening on the USART it brings up.

test_handshake.py, written where no gate could run it, is pureboot.handshake.

07f93caba8 pureboot: take the running slot from avr::startup::caller_page 
The write guard's anchor was costing a materialised pointer and a byte swap to
use one byte of it. The libavr primitive answers it in a single load, which is
eight bytes off every build — and what lets the USART release fit the tightest
configuration in the space: the 1284 autobaud on USART-shared pins was 514 of
its 512 and is now 506, with the default pinning down from 510 to 502.

Verified on silicon: the guard still refuses an erase aimed at the slot it runs
from, and still permits one in the application region.

45f10f843a pureboot: release a USART left enabled on the software link's pins 
A software or autobaud link on a USART's own pins (PD0/PD1 on the mega328P, so
the Uno's USB bridge reaches it) was mute after an application handed over with
that USART still enabled: its TXEN keeps the USART owning the TX pin, so the
bit-banged transmitter cannot drive it — the loader locked and obeyed commands
but never answered. The link's init now clears the UCSRnB of the USART whose
TXD is its TX pin. Guarded with if constexpr on that pin match, so a link on
non-USART pins emits nothing: +4 bytes on a USART-pin build (494 of 512 for the
mega328P autobaud), zero on the default pb0/pb1 matrix.

392035923f pureboot.py: bound the activation drain against a flooding target 
The post-prompt settle loop in _handshake had no deadline, so a target that
never falls quiet — a board stuck in a reset loop, whose UART-reset garbage
carries a stray prompt byte — spun the tool forever. Bound it by the handshake
deadline; a real loader still settles on its first quiet read. Regression:
test/test_handshake.py (flood terminates, valid loader still connects).

f98ed406b8 pureboot 5: one command pair for every memory, and a clock-free backend 
R/r/w/F collapse into G and g over a selector byte naming the space — flash,
EEPROM, data, fuse, SPM — with the flash bank in its high nibble. Four command
bodies, four transfer loops and four argument decodes become one of each, and
W joins the same decode instead of keeping an address form of its own. The
loader shrinks while gaining everything below: on the 1284P the stock build
goes 480 -> 432 B and the software one 496 -> 450.

What the freed space buys:

  - Data space. On AVR one pointer spans SRAM, the register file and the whole
    I/O space, so G over space 2 reads all three. pureboot keeps zero static
    RAM and pushes no register, so at loader entry an application's SRAM is
    still what the application left there — this is a post-mortem, not just a
    poke hole. As its own command it needed a dispatch arm and a loop; as one
    more space it is a single ld/st.
  - Host-issued SPM. W fills the page buffer and stops; erase, write and RWW
    re-enable are writes to space 4, which reach the same fused store-and-SPM
    pair through the transfer's own address and data. Any SPM operation, lock
    bits included, is now reachable and the loader carries no page-commit logic.
    The four-cycle SPMCSR-to-SPM window is why that primitive stays fused: no
    host can hit it across a serial link, and that — not the byte count — is
    the floor on how low-level a bootloader's primitives can go.
  - Byte addresses everywhere. The bank in the selector retires the
    word-addressed wire the >64 KiB parts needed, so the 1284s stop being the
    outlier.

SERIAL autobaud is a third backend on the same loader, over libavr's
software_autobaud: no clock, no baud, one binary per chip for every F_CPU and
every rate. Activation counts poll iterations rather than seconds and bounds
every wait, so a stray pulse cannot hold an unattended device.

b answers with the version and signature only; the host derives geometry from
the signature, which is what an autobaud build requires anyway. An update image
is a bare slot with no device to ask, so every image carries a six-byte stamp —
the same bytes b answers with, and the source of both — that the loader never
reads from flash and the host refuses to install a mismatch against. The
running-slot write guard moved onto the SPM commit, which covers erase and
write both where guarding W covered neither directly.

The position-independence lint now proves the property instead of a proxy for
it: the image must come out byte-identical linked at a different base.
-fno-move-loop-invariants left the tuned flag set — it was fitted to a command
loop carrying four transfer bodies and costs bytes now that it carries one.

Verified: the exhaustive matrix on all 37 chips (every clock x every baud x
every backend, non-standard rates included, plus the autobaud build) —
8174 size checks, no failures, tightest fit the 1284s' autobaud at 510 of 512.
Behavioral suites green on every chip class: t13a 10/10, t85 11/11, m8 13/13,
m16a 13/13, m48pa 13/13, 328P 23/23, 644A 17/17, 1284P 17/17. Data-space
round trip through --peek/--poke and the autobaud handshake are both red-green
proven.

The two prototype sources and their findings file go; the README carries the
protocol and dev/done.md in libavr carries the reasoning.

a4da885e36 pureboot: the unified autobaud loader, and the hang that settled the decision 
Hardware testing found that a lone calibration pulse wedged the autobaud loader:
run() budgeted only the start-edge wait in measure(), and the rx() that read the
knock behind it was unbudgeted, so one stray low pulse held an unattended device
in the loader and the application never ran. Bound the whole activation — an
expired knock budget returns a byte that cannot be the knock, so control falls
back into the budgeted measure() and an idle line boots the app there.

That fix costs ~22 B, which neither version under review could absorb: the pure
one goes 508 -> 530 on the 1284P and the register one 512 -> 534, both over a
512 B slot. Their margin was never spare capacity, it was the space the missing
fix should have occupied. So the choice between them is moot; both are kept for
the record and no longer built.

pureboot_autobaud_uni.cpp replaces them at 464 B. It is pureboot 5: one read
command and one write command over named spaces (G/g, sel8, addr16, n8) instead
of four per-memory bodies, which collapses four transfer loops into one. The
selector's high nibble carries flash's bank, so the shared cursor stays 16 bits
and no command speaks word addresses. Three things fall out of the freed space:
RAM read/write — the missing feature, and with it arbitrary I/O access, since
AVR maps peripherals into the data space; host-issued SPM, so W's hardcoded
erase/write/RWW tail becomes three writes to a space and any SPM operation is
reachable; and W on the same selector-and-address decode as everything else.

Strictly pure throughout: no inline asm, no global register variable, and no
GPIOR either — the unit lives in a .noinit static, so the loader claims no chip
resource and the chips without GPIOR stop being a special case.

pureboot.py speaks both generations, keyed on the version, so the fixed-baud
path is untouched; --peek/--poke reach the new data space. pbautobaud.py adds a
RAM round-trip and a regression for the hang: a lone pulse must still let the
app boot. All 37 chips plus the 12-preset reflect spot set build and size-test
green, 444-466 B, worst case 46 B under budget. Sim suites 100%: 1284P 17/17,
328P 23/23. Only real-hardware acceptance remains (pureboot/autobaud.md).

335e494a31 pureboot: autobaud host support and simavr end-to-end for both variants 
pureboot.py --autobaud sends the 0xC0 calibration pulse and a single knock at
the host's chosen baud, reads the slimmed info block, and derives the full
geometry from the signature (AUTOBAUD_GEOMETRY, a table over every pureboot
chip). Everything downstream — flash, EEPROM, fuses, hand-over, verify — is the
fixed-baud path unchanged; the dropped write guard is host-transparent.

test/pbautobaud.py drives each variant over the GPIO⇄pty software-UART bridge
through the calibration handshake and a flash + EEPROM + fuse round-trip
cross-checked against the simulator's ground-truth memory, then repeats at
double the F_CPU with the same binary — the clock-agnostic property autobaud
exists for. Wired as pureboot.autobaud_pure/reg on the near-flash 328P and the
word-addressed 1284P. A wrong measured unit fails the flash/verify, so the test
also pins the codegen-coupled calibration constant against a toolchain bump.

Both variants green in sim on both chips at two clocks each; the fixed-baud
suite is unaffected. Only real-hardware acceptance on an RC part remains
(pureboot/autobaud.md).

799709efcf pureboot: autobaud variant, two versions for review 
Measure the host's bit timing at runtime from a 0xC0 calibration pulse, so one
clock-agnostic image per chip runs at any F_CPU — the RC-oscillator deployments
no longer need a per-clock build.

Two source files, differing only in the write-guard/purity tradeoff:
pureboot_autobaud_pure.cpp (the measured unit in the GPIOR I/O scratch
registers, running-slot write guard dropped, 508 B on the 1284) stays strictly
pure; pureboot_autobaud_reg.cpp (unit in one global register variable, guard
kept, 512 B) keeps every feature at the cost of that single GRV. Both fit
512/510 on all 37 chips and share two licensed simplifications: a slimmed info
block (version + signature; the host derives geometry from the chip database)
and a single-byte activation knock.

pureboot/autobaud.md records the decision, the hand-assembly floor (506 B) that
set the target, and the compiler-knob path to it. Size-tested on every chip via
pureboot_add_autobaud(); the fixed-baud loader is untouched. Sim validation, the
host calibration handshake, and real-hardware acceptance remain.

the heaviest configuration the build can produce. They take the 644s'
geometry, where the smallest boot section holds the resident slot and its
staging slot together. The loader's version goes to 3; the host tool did
not change, so its own version stays 2 and only the window it speaks
widens.

Most of the saving is one restructure. The info block and a flash read are
the same act, so giving all four streamed commands one address-and-count
path leaves exactly one call site for the flash streamer: it inlines into
the never-returning command loop and its 24-bit cursor stops being saved
and restored around every transmit. Around it, the ack byte moved out of
line, the wire's byte pair is bit_cast into the word it already is, the
fuse loop ends on its count, the info block's in-slot offset is taken as
the one-byte relocation it is, and -fno-expensive-optimizations gives way
to -fno-move-loop-invariants -fno-tree-ter. Every chip shrank 14-18 B.

The size matrix grew the axes it was missing: the USART1 instance across
the whole clock ladder, and the shape a slow baud gives a software UART —
past 255 delay iterations libavr takes the 16-bit delay loop, which the
ladder default never selects and which was 4 B over the 1284's slot the
first time it was built.

The protocol fixture stopped deriving the loader entry from the flash
size; on the 1284s it had been jumping a slot low and reaching the loader
only because erased flash walked it up.

Docs and comments were consolidated across the port in the same pass: the
README carries a per-chip size table instead of prose, and prose that
restated the code is gone — 190 lines, no behaviour with it.

ab842c8d99 pureboot: a version number for the loader, not for the protocol 
The info block's third byte was a protocol version that never moved in the
loader's lifetime. It is the pureboot version now, and this change is
version 2: the one number that says what a deployed loader is. Every loader
already in the field answers 1.

The protocol keeps no number of its own — a pureboot version implies it, and
the host tool is what holds that map. pureboot.py states the loader-version
window it speaks (OLDEST_LOADER/NEWEST_LOADER; a version that changes the
protocol becomes the new floor there), so a loader newer than the tool is
refused by name rather than decoded on the assumption nothing moved, while an
older one is read, identified and installed like any other. The tool carries
its own version, free to drift from the loader's: --version prints it and the
window, --info leads with the device's, --update-loader names the version it
installs.

Tests: the planner unit pins the window — every version in it decodes, one
above it is refused, an older loader's image is still found — and the live
suite pins the built loader against the tool beside it, so a bump that reaches
only one of them fails. The image is byte-identical to the previous build but
for that byte.

a58b59c60f docs: correct the size figures for the configured variants 
The headline numbers described the stock deployments but claimed "every
configured variant of them", which the matrix contradicts: choosing the
software UART where the chip has a USART costs 8-46 B, so the megas reach
460-462 rather than 452, and the 1284s' software-serial build is 546 B —
inside their 1 KiB boot sector, but not inside 512.

Also names the actual tightest chip. The 1284 looks like it at 506, but it
deploys in 1 KiB with 478 B spare; against its own budget the ATmega328P
has the least room, 50 B.

ceacb61ba1 pureboot: no SPM buffer discard, the host repairs instead 
The temporary page buffer is write-once per word, so a page filled over
one an earlier writer left dirty programs the stale words. The same
datasheet clause carries the cure: the buffer auto-erases after a page
write (§26.2.1; §19.2 on the tinies), so the corruption clears itself by
happening, and rewriting the page programs correctly.

The loader therefore clears the buffer nowhere. The tinies' CTPB and the
m48s' RWWSRE discard are gone; the boot-sectioned megas keep only the
trailing RWWSRE they need anyway to re-enable the RWW section for
read-back, which discards the buffer as a side effect and keeps them off
the path entirely. 434 B on the tiny13s, 438-442 on the tiny25/45/85,
430 on the m48s; the megas are unchanged, the 1284s still 506.

The host takes over the guarantee: a flash page that reads back wrong is
rewritten up to RETRIES times before the run stops. Both read-back paths
repair — verify_pages for programming, and write_differing, which is the
loader-update path where a page left wrong is a half-written loader slot.
That one is not hypothetical: deleting the discard made attiny85
pureboot.rehome fail deterministically there, the only flow still
assuming the old contract.

Protocol-visible, so README's W command says it: one W may program the
wrong bytes after a refused page, or after an application that
self-programmed entered without a reset, and a host that programs without
reading back cannot trust it.

Tests: pureboot.dirty drives the case the loader declines to guard — the
fixture application dirties every buffer word and jumps in with no reset
(hardware forbids that on a boot-sectioned mega, but simavr dispatches SPM
from anywhere, which is what makes it constructible) — and asserts a bare
verify sees the corruption, the repairing verify fixes it in one rewrite,
and it stays fixed. pbreloc asserts the same shape after a refusal.
test_planner covers the bound against a fake device: one bad write
repaired in a single rewrite, a page that never comes good stopping after
exactly three.

332b244ac3 pureboot: every deployment axis is a build parameter 
Clock, baud, serial backend (hardware USART 0/1 or the software UART on
any pins) and the activation window all resolve through one CMake
function, pureboot_add_loader() in pureboot/CMakeLists.txt — the unit a
downstream project consumes. The default baud is the fastest standard
rate within 2.5 % (the same best-divisor search libavr's solver runs),
gated on software builds by the polled receiver's 100-cycles-a-bit
floor; every explicit pick is re-checked by the compile's static asserts.

The size matrix builds each axis that can move the image — backend x
clock ladder x USART instance, per chip — against the slot budget, and
two nondefault deployments run the whole protocol suite live: the 328P
on its shipped 1 MHz fuses over software serial on TX=PB1/RX=PB5
(pureboot.custom), and the 644A over USART1 (pureboot.usart1). The sim
runner takes -l to bridge any link, paces a fully quiet bridge toward
real time (a free-running 8 M-cycle window loses the reset-race knock),
and the fixture application speaks the deployment it is built for.

The loader itself shed bytes on the way: the return-address high byte
spelled through byteswap (the double swap folds to the one-byte pick),
the info-block address composed instead of bit_cast, and libavr's new
polled-UART helpers replacing the port's uart::detail reaches. Every
combination fits: 458-506 B across the megas' whole matrix, 470-484 B
on the tinies, 556-562 B in the 1284s' 1 KiB slot.

61b687120c pureboot: a loader in the staging slot is the staging copy — leave it there 
The update flow's first step wrote the staging content over whatever the
staging slot held; with a loader running right there (programmed by hand
onto erased flash), that write met the copy's own running-slot guard on
the composed through-word and the tool stopped at its verify — although
the copy is exactly an installed staging copy, able to stream the new
resident like any other. The install is now skipped when the slot holds a
complete loader: its info block where every image carries it, matching
the device's byte for byte, and the slot unchanged since the update began
(the state file's snapshot) — so a resumed half-written install still
differs from its snapshot and takes the install path, which completes it.
pbrehome gains the staging-slot position (an older build at stage
streaming a newer resident in); the README's wrong "cannot re-home from
the staging slot" claim is corrected.

ef58d5d363 pureboot: artifact roles, wrong-chip refusal, and misplaced-loader re-homing 
The README's deployment section now says what each build artifact is for:
the .hex is the programmer artifact (self-addressed into the top slot),
the .bin the self-update image — bare slot bytes a programmer would put
at address 0, where a boot-sectioned mega cannot even heal itself (SPM
only runs from the boot section) but a patched-vector chip runs the
position-independent copy and re-homes a build through the ordinary
--update-loader flow: the staging install and the word-0 redirect both
execute outside page 0's slot, so the running-slot guard never blocks it.
pbrehome.py is the acceptance test (misplaced at 0, guard intact,
re-home, app flash over the stale copy, banner); the staging slot is the
one position that cannot re-home itself, documented. The preflight's
wrong-chip refusal and loader_image's handling of padded images (peeled
to the slot content by the embedded base) are documented and the padded
case pinned in the planner.

03bb1f56cf 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

6a5e313530 pureboot: correct the 1284P deployment profiles in the README

BOOTSZ = 512 words always, and self-updates with no fuse change, reset
landing at 0x1f800 — internally contradictory (a 512-word section starts
at 0x1fc00, and the section holding both 1 KiB slots is 1024 words) and
contradicted by update_preflight, which refuses a self-update unless the
boot section covers two slots. The text described a 512-byte-slot
geometry this chip's loader cannot have. In truth the 328P profile table
maps onto the 1284P doubled: standalone = 512 words (the smallest
section is exactly the 1 KiB slot, reset at the loader base), self-update
= 1024 words with the loader-first reset walking the staging slot.

a28fccf475 pureboot: the 1284P rides a 1 KiB slot — its own boot-sector minimum 
The far machinery (ELPM reads, RAMPZ page commands, wire-word math)
costs ~46 B over the m328P's 504, and the tsb-calibrated C++-to-asm
gap says no implementation of this feature set reaches 512 on this
chip — a boundary its hardware does not have anyway: the 1284P's
smallest boot sector is 1 KiB. The slot therefore becomes
per-geometry (512 B, or 1 KiB past 64 KiB), which the host derives
from the word-addressing flag; slot arithmetic unifies (the index is
the wire high byte with its low bit dropped in either unit), the
update preflight demands a two-slot boot section in the chip's own
terms, and pbapp's hand-back jumps to the real slot base. libavr's
far primitives split their RAMPZ/Z asm operands (a page never
crosses 64 KiB, so callers keep a byte and a 16-bit cursor — the
32-bit address folds away; flash_load_far's byte form becomes the
out-RAMPZ+elpm pair avr-libc's pgm_read_byte_far rebuilds per call),
and the host splits reads at 64 KiB boundaries. All ten chips pass
the full suite — the 1284P at 558 B including protocol, relocation,
and the power-fail self-update — with pureboot byte-identical across
generated and reflect modes everywhere, and the original three
chips' images unchanged to the byte (488/502/504).

92503fbb2d 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

443fd39d31 build: emit a raw .bin beside the HEX for every loader image 
The host tool takes either form — load_image() parses Intel HEX by extension
and treats anything else as raw bytes — but the build emitted only the HEX, so
the raw path had no artifact behind it. The reloc and update tests each shell
out to objcopy at runtime to produce one for themselves.

add_hex_output becomes add_image_outputs and emits both forms. The .bin is
byte-identical to the plain `objcopy -O binary` those tests generate (-R .eeprom
strips nothing the loaders carry), and decodes equal to the HEX payload — 504 B
at 0x7e00 either way for pureboot. Sizes come out at the flash sizes exactly
(504/510/836/526), so nothing stretches to the .data load address.

08a0d77109 pureboot: take the emitted loader HEX for --update-loader 
The build emits an Intel HEX beside every loader image, but --update-loader
could not consume one: load_image() anchors every image at address zero, and
a loader HEX links at its base, so it decoded to a 32760-byte blob carrying
504 bytes of loader at the end. staging_content() then refused it as "loader
image is 32760 B, the slot holds 512" - an error naming neither the cause nor
the raw .bin the tool wanted instead.

Drop the blank below the base in the update path. The base comes from the
image's own info block rather than the device's, so an image built for
another target survives the slice intact and the preflight still reports it
as another target rather than failing to find an info block at all.

Verified on an ATmega328P: the full self-update flow driven straight from
pureboot_timeout-5s.hex, resident slot byte-for-byte against the image
afterwards, application preserved; both refusal paths unchanged.

260ab2e4e3 pureboot: drive the serial port on Windows too 
The host tool was standard-library-only but POSIX-only with it: termios and
select() bound the port layer, and importing termios failed outright on
Windows, so the module could not even load there.

Split Port into PosixPort (unchanged) and a WindowsPort over the Win32 serial
API through ctypes, picked by os.name; every call site keeps the Port name.
kernel32 only, so the standard-library constraint holds.

Windows has no select() for a COM handle, so the read deadlines move into the
driver as COMMTIMEOUTS, re-armed per read: read_available() ends on a gap
longer than a USB-serial latency timer coalesces (16 ms on FTDI parts),
read_exact() on the count or its deadline. Opening asserts DTR and RTS as a
POSIX open does, so a board wiring DTR to reset still pulses it. A failed
configuration closes the handle before raising - a COM handle is exclusive,
and the leak met the next open as "Access is denied". Win32 takes any integer
baud and a driver may accept one its hardware cannot produce (an FT232R
reports back a baud of 3 and keeps the old divisor), so obvious nonsense is
refused where termios' table would have.

Tested against an ATmega328P on COM6: info, fuses, both memories programmed
and verified, session reconnect, hand-over, the loader self-update, and the
write guard on its own slot. test_planner runs on Windows now as well.

its own avrdude update.

It uses the toolchain file's CMAKE_OBJCOPY rather than a hardcoded path, so

57d1c009cc pureboot: one position-independent binary — its own staging loader 
The image now runs from any 512-byte slot with every command intact:
control flow stays PC-relative, the write guard keys on the running slot
(the return-address anchor, computed once), the info block is addressed
from that same anchor as a byte pair (no absolute 16-bit address in the
image), and the application jump is an indirect call through a noipa-
laundered pointer to the absolute entry. 'J' — jump to a wire word
address, the one transfer primitive — replaces 'G': the host knows the
application entry from the info block, and moving between loader copies
needs arbitrary targets. The activation window is a compile-time 8 s
(PUREBOOT_TIMEOUT overrides), counted as a single calibrated poll loop.

A refused page no longer poisons the write-once temporary buffer (a real
silicon trap: the next write would program the drained data): every page
write discards the buffer first — CTPB on the tinies, on the mega the same
RWWSRE store that re-enables RWW after programming. The tinies' post-op
busy-waits go with it: their CPU halts through page erase and write.

488 / 502 / 504 B on t13a / t85 / mega — under the tinies' 510-byte budget,
whose last slot word is the host-managed trampoline: the resident's holds
the application entry, a staging copy's the jump through which an abandoned
update still times out into a loader.

The host tool updates the loader with itself: --update-loader installs the
identical image one slot below the resident, jumps into it, lets it rewrite
the resident, and restores the staging region from a state file — each
phase idempotent off the flash state, resumable after any interruption
(t13a: the staging slot carries the reset vector, written last in and
first out; t85: word 0 redirected around the resident rewrite; mega:
fuse-matrix preflight with a hard BOOTSZ gate and --assume-fuses for
simulators). Application flashing recovers by reset from any interruption:
patched page 0 and trampoline first, erase descending, and a walk-region
refusal behind --force on BOOTRST-below-loader megas.

06bb06d994 pureboot: harden the sim device runner 
Cancel the GPIO bridge's cycle timers with the state they drive: avr_reset
drops the TX latch, whose falling edge starts a spurious decode before
bridge_reset runs, and the stale sampler then interleaves with the loader's
first real answer through the shared shift state — the first post-reset
replies came back corrupted and the knock retries burned the activation
window into the application.

Wrap the mega's registered flash ioctl to re-dispatch page erases with Z
masked to the page boundary: simavr's PGERS handler erases spm_pagesize
bytes from Z & ~1 (its PGWRT path masks correctly), wiping the neighbouring
page when Z sits past the page start, which hardware permits (§26.8.1).
Model the write-once temporary buffer in the tiny NVM module — silicon
refuses a second load per word until the buffer clears, and a last-write-
wins model masks real firmware bugs.

Optional arguments select the reset vector (the mega's fuse profiles) and a
raw flash image to resume from (power-fail tests re-enter a dumped state).

11c10f986d pureboot: stop tracking the python bytecode cache 
A stray __pycache__/*.pyc from a local test run got swept into the
previous commit's git add. Untracked and gitignored.

f587f0a26e pureboot: host tool and end-to-end protocol tests, all three chips 
pureboot.py (Python stdlib only): images as raw binary or Intel HEX,
flash and EEPROM programming with read-back verify, erase composites,
fuse and info readout, activation-timeout configuration, and the
tinies' reset-vector surgery — the trampoline word below the loader,
page 0 written last.

The test spawns a simavr device (pureboot_device.c) — the mega's USART
as a pty; on the tinies a cycle-timed GPIO<->pty bridge for the polled
software UART plus the NVM module simavr's tiny cores lack (their SPM
opcode ioctls into a void and silently does nothing) — and drives it
with the real tool: knock from reset (erased-flash walk on the tinies),
program and verify both memories, timeout write, session reconnect, an
external reset through the patched vector, hand-over, and the fixture
application's banner. Results are cross-checked against ground-truth
memory dumps and an independent decode of the surgery's rjmp words,
red-verified against a sabotaged encoder.

27c768a102 pureboot: the device — one pure C++ source, 512 bytes, every chip 
No inline assembly, no global register variables; libavr does the
datasheet work. The device speaks primitives — flash read/page-program,
EEPROM read/write, fuse read, info block, EEPROM-resident activation
timeout, hand-over — and verify, erase, reset-vector surgery, and
timeout configuration live in the host tool. 490 B on the ATtiny13A,
510 B on the ATtiny85, 484 B on the ATmega328P, each linked into the
top 512 bytes of flash; per-chip size tests gate all three.

d989b5b8cd tsb: third size pass — restructure to the oracle's shape 
The second pass concluded the 168 B tricks->asm gap was per-call ABI
cost. Most of it was structure. Rebuilt around the oracle's own shape —
argless noinline primitives over a whole-loader call-saved register
protocol (g_addr in Y, count r16, window r7, direction latch r6), a
top-down erase_below whose loop tests against zero and hands callers
g_addr = 0 for free, bounded rx everywhere (a silent host unwinds to
the app from any state, as the oracle does), and a named tsb_app entry
that --pmem-wrap-around=32k relaxes to the wrapped rjmp:

  tsb_asm    510 B in the 512 B section (oracle: 500), C++ except rx
             and the page-store loop — the two routines whose remaining
             cost is the calling convention itself (~30 asm lines, was
             ~280)
  tsb_tricks 526 B, no assembly at all (was 666)
  tsb_pure   836 B, still one readable function per command (was 842)

Every g_* update placement works around a GCC 16.1 wrong-code bug
(stores into global register variables deleted when only callees read
them — repro and rules in libavr dev/lessons.md). Also fixes two
latent hardware bugs all earlier tiers carried, masked by simavr's
zeroed register file: the crt-less entries never established
__zero_reg__ = 0, and the direction latch was read before written —
power-on registers are undefined.

All tiers full oracle feature parity, protocol tests green in both
libavr modes, .text byte-identical across modes.

314e422b19 tsb: beat the first-pass size floors (tricks 666, pure 842) 
tricks 778->666: always_inline every single-call handler into the
[[noreturn]] reset entry (which pays no prologue, so their push/pop of
call-saved registers vanishes), walk the page pointer in Y (adiw, base
recovered as g_addr-page) instead of recomputing Z=base+offset, bring
the UART up in the two registers that are not already at their reset
value, and seed the activation counter as __uint24.

pure 896->842: TU-local internal linkage (proper hygiene, and it lets
the compiler inline the one-call handlers), a byte-wide activation
count, __uint24 timeout. Still one readable function per command.

asm unchanged at 498: its C++-expressible parts are already C++; the
core stays asm (the 666 B all-tricks tier is 168 B over — per-call ABI
tax, not a feature). All three cross-mode byte-identical, protocol green.

3e0717ef06 tsb: drive each tier to its size floor 
asm 502->498 B (below the oracle's 500): the stack bring-up moves to plain C++,
and a register is reserved for the config-page high byte instead of reloading it
at each app-flash-boundary compare. tricks 808->778 B: shared erase/rww helpers
plus the libavr half-duplex W1C fix. pure 950->896 B and no SRAM: streams
rx->SPM/EEPROM instead of staging a 128 B page buffer. All three keep full oracle
feature parity and stay byte-identical across modes; protocol tests (round-trip +
password + emergency erase) green.

34529c8031 tsb: protocol test covers the password gate and emergency erase 
Each scenario group now runs on its own freshly-reset device: the round-trip
on a blank config page, plus a password-config device that must be sent the
password after the knock to activate, and an emergency-erase device where a
0-byte + two confirms wipes flash, EEPROM and the config page (verified by
reading all three back as 0xff). All three tiers pass every group.

06bd56af50 tsb: pure and tricks tiers reach full oracle feature parity 
Both tiers gain the features the asm tier already carries — one-wire
half-duplex (via libavr's new .half_duplex), the config-page activation
timeout, and emergency erase (password \0 + double-confirm wipes flash,
EEPROM and the config page) — on top of the watchdog bail, password gate and
config/flash/EEPROM read-write they already had. pure stays idiomatic
(flash_table info block, one function per command) at 950 B; tricks keeps its
compiler trickery (call-saved global-register page walk, unified runtime-flag
paths pinned noinline/noclone, streaming stores, arithmetic command decode)
at 808 B. Both byte-identical across generated and reflect modes; the size
gradient across the three tiers is now 502 / 808 / 950 B.

75bb84fa3e tsb: asm tier reaches full oracle feature parity at 502 B 
Rewrite the inline-asm tier so it matches the hand-written fixed-baud oracle's
feature set inside the 512 B boot section: watchdog-reset bail, one-wire
half-duplex (RXEN/TXEN toggled per direction, TX turnaround guard),
config-page activation timeout, the password gate (wrong byte hangs draining
the UART), emergency erase (password \0 + double-confirm wipes flash, EEPROM
and the config page), and config/flash/EEPROM read-write. Every geometry,
baud and info-block constant comes from libavr consteval; only the dense
control flow is hand-written. 502 B, byte-identical across generated and
reflect modes.

Test harness: seed the config page from TSB_CONFIG so the password and
emergency-erase paths are exercisable, and clear simavr's AVR_UART_FLAG_POLL_
SLEEP — a host-CPU-saving usleep(1)-per-idle-poll hack that models no hardware
and paces a one-wire loader (which releases TX between bytes) in real time,
distorting protocol timing.

bb4784ae0c tsb: refactor the pure tier onto libavr sugar 
The showcase tier now leans on the helpers it fed back instead of reaching under
them: the info block is an avr::flash_table (no raw [[gnu::progmem]]), a page is
filled with spm::fill(addr, span) (no hand-packed lo|hi<<8 loop), and the
WDT-reset bail reads field<"MCUSR","WDRF">::test() (no read() & {}(1).value).

Zero-overhead throughout: .text stays 740 B, byte-identical across generated and
reflect modes, protocol test green. The info block streams through the existing
address-based send_flash rather than a range-for over the flash_table — the
range-for is a distinct loop that cannot share the loader's one flash streamer,
so it would add 14 B for no functional gain.

main carried the whole pre-libavr tree beside the port: the other-bootloader
directories (blink, stk500v2), the Atmel Studio solution/project, and — dead in
the tsb dir itself — four submodule links to the superseded io/flash/uart/type
libraries the libavr sources never include. None are build inputs; CMake drives
the three variants through FetchContent. master keeps the full legacy tree
untouched.

4fa058653e tsb: reimplement TinySafeBoot on libavr in three size tiers 
The native-UART fixed-baud TinySafeBoot protocol, ported onto libavr as a
crt-free boot-section loader, in three variants that trade clarity for size:

  tsb_pure   740 B  idiomatic C++: SRAM page buffer, separate flash/EEPROM
                    leaves, shared framing; the polled `unused` guard posture.
  tsb_tricks 658 B  unified runtime-flag paths (noinline/noclone), call-saved
                    global-register page walk — attributes only, no asm.
  tsb_asm    508 B  streaming store + hand-rolled UART/SPM/EEPROM/erase loops;
                    fits the 512 B boot section (BOOTSZ=11). Trims the optional
                    password gate and WDT-reset bail — unreachable in C++ with
                    both (hand-asm is ~15 % denser). Tiers 1-2 keep them and
                    live in the 1 KB section they fit.

All three are .text byte-identical across libavr's generated and reflect modes.
The CMake build strips the leaked -O3 (a Release build is silently -O3, not the
-Os this loader is measured against) and gates each variant's size against its
section. A simavr harness (test/device.c + test/tsbtest.py) drives the real wire
protocol over a pty and flashes the device; the size and protocol tests run in
ctest. Verified byte-for-byte against the reference tsbloader_adv (C#/mono):
activate, read info, flash write + verify.

# Atmel Studio
`master` carries `bootloader.atsln`, so this branch does too: `ide/bootloader.atsln`
builds the loaders from the same sources Ninja does, to a **byte-identical
`.text`** — 404 B for the 328P pureboot loader, 510 B for the `tsb_asm` tier in
its 512-byte section. CMake remains the build system; the solution is here so the
port opens in Studio as its predecessor did.
## The two projects, and why two
pureboot is a chip × backend × clock × baud matrix — `pureboot_add_loader()`
resolves a deployment into compile definitions — and a `.cppproj` is one binary
at one set of flags, so a project can only ever be one point of it. `pureboot`
is that point: the stock 328P deployment, USART0 at 115200 on a 16 MHz crystal,
an 8-second activation window. `tsb_asm` is the TinySafeBoot tier that occupies
the same 512-byte section `master`'s `tsb` project targeted.
The other three tsb tiers (`tsb_pure`, `tsb_tricks`, `tsb_policy`) are not here.
They differ from `tsb_asm` in their source file, their section size, and — for
`tsb_policy` — two loop flags; nothing about that is a Studio concern, and what
they exist to demonstrate is a size gradient only the CMake size tests measure.
Adding one is a copy of `tsb_asm/tsb_asm.cppproj` in its own directory, with its
name, its GUID, its source path and its `--section-start` changed (`0x7c00` for
the 1 KiB tiers), plus four lines in the solution.
`avrdevice` is a project property, so each project gets its own directory:
Studio builds into `<project dir>/<Configuration>` whatever `OutputDirectory`
says, and two projects sharing a directory would share one object file.
## Debug keeps `-Os`
Both configurations compile at `-Os`; Debug adds only `-gdwarf-4`. The `.text`
is therefore identical in both, which is the point — a loader's section is a
**correctness** bound and not a budget. `-Og` builds this same source to 590 B,
and linking it at `--section-start=.text=0x7e00` on a 32 KiB part puts 78 bytes
past flash end **without a diagnostic**: `rcall`/`rjmp` targets there wrap
modulo flash size, so the image dies right after activation. A debug
configuration that silently produces that is worse than none, and DWARF costs no
flash, so the optimisation level stays where correctness needs it.
## What Studio needs from the machine
libavr from the **submodule**, found at
`$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\..\..\libavr\include` — correct by construction, and
anchored to the project because a plain relative path resolves against the
generated makefile's directory (the configuration's output directory), not the
project's. There is no `LIBAVR_ROOT` escape hatch: a variable exported in a
shell is invisible to Studio launched from the Start menu, and the failure reads
as a missing `libavr/libavr.hpp` — which is what the submodule answers.
A GCC 16.1 toolchain registered as flavour `avr-g++-16.1.0`, nothing older
reaching `-std=c++26`.
## Generating and gating
One generated file is required before a project will load at all, and one command
per project checks the flags have not drifted (both from libavr's
`tools/atmelstudio/`):
```sh
for name in pureboot tsb_asm; do
python libavr/tools/atmelstudio/componentinfo.py \
"ide/$name/$name.componentinfo.xml" --device ATmega328P
python libavr/tools/atmelstudio/check-flags.py \
--solution ide/bootloader.atsln --project "$name" --target "$name" \
--compile-commands build/atmega328p-generated/compile_commands.json \
--log "build/as-$name.log"
done
```
`--project` because one reference describes one binary; `--target` because
`pureboot.cpp` is compiled by every point of the size matrix and the flags
differ per point, so the basename alone does not name a reference. Release is
what the gate compares — the presets define no debug build, and Debug differs
from Release only in `-gdwarf-4`.
Legacy (the yazoalfa-era submodules) stays on `master`.

# pureboot as a consumable CMake unit: the per-chip geometry, the default baud
# ladder, and pureboot_add_loader() — the one way a loader target is created.
# A downstream project brings its usual libavr setup (the `libavr` target and
# the LIBAVR_MCU toolchain preset), adds this directory, and states its
# deployment; every argument is optional (README.md):
#
# add_subdirectory(bootloader/pureboot)
# pureboot_add_loader(myboot CLOCK 1000000 SERIAL software TX pb1 RX pb5)
# Per-family geometry, deployment defaults, and the linker wrap the PC modulo
# needs. The slot is 512 bytes on every chip. The USART flags mirror the
# hardware inventory the loader's own static asserts check — the plain 644 is
# the x4 family's one single-USART die (Atmel-2593).

The tightest fit in the whole space is the 1284s' autobaud build deployed on a
USART's own pins, 506 of its 512 — they alone carry the far-flash machinery
(ELPM reads, RAMPZ page commands), autobaud alone carries the calibration loop,
and a bit-banged link on a USART's pins alone has to release it (below). The
same build on the default pins is 502. The flash bank riding in a transfer's
selector byte keeps even those chips' addressing the same 16-bit form every
other chip uses, which is why they are no longer the outlier they were.
The software UART enables the RX pull-up; TX idles high. All multi-byte wire
quantities are little-endian.
## Configuration
Every deployment axis is a build parameter of `pureboot_add_loader()` (in
`pureboot/CMakeLists.txt`) — the one way a loader target is created, by this
repo's build and by a downstream project alike:
| Argument | Meaning | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `CLOCK <hz>` | the clock the board runs | 16 MHz megas, 8 MHz t25/45/85, 9.6 MHz t13s |
| `BAUD <bd>` | the wire rate | the ladder below |
| `SERIAL auto\|hardware\|software\|autobaud` | the link backend | `auto`: the hardware USART where the chip has one |
| `USART <n>` | the USART instance (x4 megas carry two) | 0 |
| `RX <pin>`, `TX <pin>` | software-UART pins | `pb0`, `pb1` |
| `TIMEOUT <s>` | the activation window | 8 |
The default baud is the fastest of 115200/57600/38400/19200/9600 the clock
reaches within 2.5 % — the same U2X-included divisor search libavr's baud
solver runs — and on a software build additionally within the polled
receiver's 100-cycles-a-bit floor. Whatever is picked or overridden is
re-checked in the compile: an infeasible combination, or a USART the chip does
not have, fails with a named static assert.
Putting a bit-banged link on a USART's own pins is a supported deployment, and
the usual one where a board's USB bridge is wired to RXD/TXD: the link's `init`
clears that USART's `UCSRnB` first, because while its `TXEN` is set the USART —
not the port register — owns the TX pin, and a loader entered from an
application that left it enabled would receive and obey while answering nothing
(§20.2). It costs four bytes, and only on those pins.
`SERIAL autobaud` takes neither: the loader **measures** the host's bit timing
at run time, so `CLOCK` and `BAUD` are not build parameters there and one
binary per chip serves every clock and every rate. It is for the deployments
whose clock is not known at build time and does not hold still — the internal
RC oscillator, ±10 % from the factory and moving with supply and temperature —
where a fixed-baud software build has to be rebuilt per clock and still drifts
out of tolerance. The cost is that it is software-serial only (a hardware USART
needs its divisor programmed) and that activation counts poll iterations rather
than seconds, since there is no clock to convert them against
(`PUREBOOT_AUTOBAUD_POLLS`, default 4,000,000).
**Pick the rate by cycles a bit, and leave the oscillator room.** What the
calibration can measure is bounded by how many clock cycles one bit lasts, so a
rate is only ever sensible relative to the clock. Two different floors matter:
| | cycles a bit |
|---|---|
| the logic's floor — exact clock, simulated | solid to ~36, fails outright by ~31 (`pureboot.autobaud` gates a point here) |
| a factory-trimmed internal RC, measured on an ATtiny13A | reliable at ~118; already locking 1 attempt in 5 by ~59 |
The gap is the oscillator's own jitter, and no exact-clock simulation shows it.
So on an RC part, **budget about 100 cycles a bit** — the same order as the
fixed-baud software receiver's floor — rather than the logic's ~36. Measured
envelope on that ATtiny13A, with an application resident: 9.6 and 4.8 MHz reach
115200, 1.2 MHz reaches 9600, 600 kHz reaches 4800, 128 kHz reaches 2400.
One trap in testing this: on a patched-vector chip an **erased** application
region walks straight back up into the loader, so every expired window opens
another one and the host's retries eventually catch the pulse. That reads as far
more reliable than the same part with an application resident, which gets one
window per reset. Measure with an application in place.
A downstream project brings its usual libavr setup (the `libavr` target, the
chip via the `LIBAVR_MCU` toolchain preset), consumes this directory, and
states its deployment — an ATmega328P on its shipped 1 MHz fuses with the
software UART on hand-picked pins, say:
```cmake
FetchContent_Declare(bootloader GIT_REPOSITORY git@git.blackmark.me:avr/bootloader.git GIT_TAG main)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(bootloader)
add_subdirectory(${bootloader_SOURCE_DIR}/pureboot pureboot)
pureboot_add_loader(myboot CLOCK 1000000 SERIAL software TX pb1 RX pb5)
```
The function emits the ELF plus `myboot.hex` (the programmer artifact) and
`myboot.bin` (the self-update image), prints the size, and stamps the resolved
deployment on the target as the `PUREBOOT_HZ`, `PUREBOOT_BAUD` and
`PUREBOOT_LINK` properties — what a flashing script or test harness needs to
speak to the build. This exact deployment runs the full protocol suite in CI
(`pureboot.custom`).
## Activation ## Activation
Reset enters the loader (BOOTRST on the mega, the patched reset vector on the Reset enters the loader (BOOTRST on the boot-sectioned megas, the patched
tinies) — except a watchdog reset, which hands straight to the application reset vector elsewhere) — except a watchdog reset, which hands straight to the

releases the WDRF-forced WDE). This is deliberate: it lets an application reboot itself instantly rather than
sit through the window. The application must clear WDRF itself (libavr's
`watchdog::disable()` does). **Gotcha:** WDRF is sticky (cleared only by
software, not by a later reset), so an application that watchdog-resets and
never clears it diverts *every* subsequent reset — external ones included —
past the window too, and the loader becomes reachable only through an external
programmer until the flag is cleared. A serial recovery path therefore assumes
the application clears WDRF on its own reset path.
The host then has one activation window per awaited byte to knock: `p` then The host then knocks `p` then `b`, each awaited byte under a fresh activation
`b`. Each awaited byte gets a fresh window; any other byte is discarded and window; any other byte is discarded and awaited again, so line noise can delay
awaited again (line noise cannot lock the loader, only delay it). A window the loader but never lock it. A window expiring on an idle line boots the
expiring with an idle line boots the application. application.
The window length is a compile-time constant — 8 s by default, another value An autobaud build opens differently, because it has to learn the rate before it
via the `PUREBOOT_TIMEOUT` CMake cache variable — so the whole EEPROM belongs can read a byte at all: the host sends the **calibration byte 0xC0** — a start
to the application; pureboot never uses it for its own state. Re-timing a bit plus six zero data bits form one low pulse of seven bit-times — and the
deployed loader is a self-update with a re-timed build (below). loader times that pulse into its bit period. A single `p` then activates; the
pulse has already proven a host is present, which the two-byte knock exists to
establish elsewhere. Both waits are bounded, so a stray low pulse with no host
behind it costs one window and then boots the application rather than holding
the loader.
The window is a compile-time constant (`TIMEOUT`, 8 s by default), so the whole
EEPROM belongs to the application — pureboot keeps no state of its own.
Re-timing a deployed loader is a self-update with a re-timed build. An autobaud
build counts poll iterations instead (`PUREBOOT_AUTOBAUD_POLLS`), there being
no clock to turn into seconds.
## Session ## Session

send a command, read its reply, repeat. reply, repeat.
Addresses are **byte addresses within a 64 KiB bank**, and the bank rides in
the command's selector byte, so no command has to speak word addresses. `J` is
the exception: it takes a word address, because that is what the hardware's own
jump takes. EEPROM and data-space addresses and all counts are bytes.
The loader trusts the host to keep addresses in range: it does not bound them
against the chip. **Gotcha:** a write (or read) that runs past `E2END` wraps —
EEAR is only as wide as the array, so an address past the end truncates onto
low EEPROM and the write silently overwrites it. Keeping transfers within the
real sizes is the host's job (the shipped tool does); the flash budget is
better spent on features than on re-checking a bound the host already holds.

byte's `+`. `F` returns the bytes in the hardware's Z order; on a chip
without an extended fuse byte (the ATtiny13A) that slot carries no meaning.
Fuse *writing* does not exist: SPM reaches flash (and, on the mega, lock
bits) only — fuse bytes are external-programming territory by hardware.

The info block (`b`): The data space is worth more than it looks. pureboot keeps **zero static RAM**
and pushes no register, so at loader entry an application's SRAM is still
whatever the application left there, bar the handful of bytes of return-address
stack — which makes `G` over space 2 a post-mortem of a running application,
not just a poke hole. The same address space carries the register file and the
I/O registers, so peripheral state is readable too; reading some of those has
side effects (reading UDR clears its flags), which is the host's business to
know.

write `0xff` (per page for flash, per byte for EEPROM). other (§26.2), which no host can hit across a serial link — so this one
primitive is *fused* rather than being a poke of SPMCSR followed by a poke of
something else. That four-cycle window is the floor on how low-level a
bootloader's primitives can go; it is not a byte-count decision.
An SPM command aimed at the 512-byte slot the loader is **running in** is
dropped, so a broken host cannot brick the running copy, while a staged copy
one slot lower may rewrite the resident — which is what a self-update is.
The loader never clears the SPM buffer before a fill, so **one `W` may program
the wrong bytes, and the host is what fixes it**. The buffer is write-once per
word until cleared, and two things leave words in it: a refused page, and —
where SPM runs from anywhere, the tinies and the m48s — an application that
self-programmed before entering. The next page write takes those stale words
and clears them, since a page write auto-erases the buffer (§26.2.1; §19.2 on
the tinies), so repeating it programs correctly. The host therefore verifies
every page it writes and rewrites what comes back wrong (three retries, then it
stops).
`g` is host-paced: send the next byte only after the previous byte's `+`. Fuse
*writing* does not exist — SPM reaches flash and boot lock bits only.
`J` is the one control-transfer primitive: it runs the application (word 0 or
the trampoline word, both derived from the chip) and moves between loader
copies during a self-update. A jump to a slot's base re-enters that copy's own
startup, which must then be knocked afresh.
`b` answers with the loader's identity — its version and the chip's signature —
and nothing else. Everything else the host needs (page size, loader base,
EEPROM size, whether the reset vector must be patched, how many flash banks)
follows from the signature, and the host holds that table; the loader derived
the same facts from its own chip database at build time, so nothing is guessed,
it is simply not sent twice.
An update image, though, is a bare 512-byte slot with no device to ask, and
installing one built for another chip bricks the target. Every loader image
therefore carries a six-byte **stamp** — `'P'`, `'B'`, the version, the three
signature bytes — which the loader itself never reads and the host tool refuses
to install a mismatch against.
## Version
`b`'s first byte is the **pureboot version** — the loader's one identity
number, and the only way to tell what a deployed loader is. Nothing else is
numbered: the wire protocol has no version, a pureboot version implies it, and
the host tool holds that map. The tool states the window of loader versions it
speaks (`OLDEST_LOADER`/`NEWEST_LOADER` in `pureboot.py`), and a version that
changes the protocol becomes the new floor there. A loader newer than the tool
is refused by name rather than decoded on the assumption that nothing moved.
Two generations exist. **1 through 4** speak one session — a 12-byte info block
from `b`, and a command per memory (`R`/`W` flash, `r`/`w` EEPROM, `F` fuses).
**5** replaced those with the single `G`/`g` pair over selector-named spaces
above; the shipped tool speaks both, choosing on the version it reads, so a
deployed pureboot 4 stays drivable and self-updatable to 5.
Every closed generation is tagged in this repo at its era's last commit — the
commit just before the next version bump, so a tag holds everything its
version ever gained — and each tag carries the `libavr/` submodule pinned to
the libavr that loader was built against, as the whole libavr era does commit
by commit. `git checkout v3 && git submodule update --init libavr` followed by
the usual preset build therefore reproduces the v3 loader exactly; the open
generation is `main`.
Collapsing four command bodies into one transfer loop is what paid for the
version: the data space, the host-issued SPM operations and the fuses now share
the loop, the cursor and the argument decode that `R`/`r`/`w` each carried a
copy of. The loader shrank while gaining all three.
The tool carries its own version, free to drift; `--version` prints it and the
window.

**ATmega328P**: program the loader at 0x7e00 with an external programmer. The build leaves three artifacts per chip. The ELF is a container for the
Two fuse profiles, same binary: tests and objcopy, never flashed. The **.hex is the programmer artifact**: it
carries its own addresses and lands the loader in its top slot, touching
nothing else. The **.bin is the self-update image** — the slot's bare bytes.
**Boot-sectioned megas**: program the loader at `flash − 512` with an external
programmer. Every such mega has a BOOTSZ step whose boot section is exactly
the 512-byte slot — the second-smallest step on the 8 KiB and 16 KiB chips,
the smallest on the 32 KiB ones — so the ATmega328P profiles below apply to

The **644s and 1284s** are the geometry's sweet spot: their smallest boot
section (512 words = 1 KiB) is exactly *two* slots, so the resident and its
staging slot both live inside the minimum section. Self-update needs no fuse
step up, and the standalone profile does not exist — reset lands one erased
slot below the loader (0xfc00 / 0x1fc00) and walks up into it.

copy times out into a loader, never into garbage.
3. `J` enters the staging copy, which rewrites the resident slot. On the ```sh
t85 the host first re-aims word 0 at the staging copy, so a power loss # a 57600 fixed-baud resident, replaced by an autobaud build
mid-rewrite still resets into a loader; on the t13a the staging slot pureboot.py --port … --baud 57600 --update-loader ab.bin --staged-autobaud
carries the reset vector itself. # …or by a 38400 build of the same backend
pureboot.py --port … --baud 57600 --update-loader sw38400.bin --staged-baud 38400
```
The host retunes on the open port, so no DTR pulse resets the copy it is talking
to. Omit them against a changed link and the update stops after installing the
staging copy, saying so and naming this as the cause.
The preflight refuses an image built for another chip: the stamp every pureboot
binary carries must resolve to the device's own geometry, and the error names
both. Die revisions share their base signature and geometry, so their images
are interchangeable — as the silicon is.
1. The staging slot `[base−512, base)` is saved to a host-side state file (on
the 1 KB tiny13s that is the whole application, vectors included).
2. The resident installs the update image there. On the patched-vector chips
the host composes the slot's last word as a jump to the resident base, so
even an abandoned staging copy times out into a loader. A loader already
sitting whole in the staging slot is left as the staging copy instead —
rewriting it would only meet its own running-slot guard.
3. `J` enters the staging copy, which rewrites the resident slot. Where a
patched reset vector routes through the resident, the host first re-aims
word 0 at the staging copy, so a power loss mid-rewrite still resets into a
loader; on the tiny13s the staging slot carries the reset vector itself.

application data into a mega's reset walk region). extension. `--force` overrides the refusable safety checks — today, flashing
application data into a mega's reset walk region.
`--autobaud` opens with the calibration pulse instead of the plain knock, for a
loader built `SERIAL autobaud`; the rest of the session is identical, at
whatever `--baud` the host chose.
`--peek ADDR[:N]` and `--poke ADDR:HEX` reach the data space (pureboot 5) —
SRAM, and through the same address space the register file and every I/O
register. Reading an I/O register can have side effects (reading UDR clears its
flags), which is the caller's business to know.
Reads are safe anywhere; **two small regions cannot be written without ending the
session,** because they are what the loader is standing on:
- the **top of SRAM**, where its stack lives — a handful of bytes below RAMEND;
- on an **autobaud** build, the **two bytes at RAMSTART**: the measured bit
period, in `.noinit`, which is the whole of that loader's static RAM. Overwrite
it and its next reply is timed against garbage. On an ATtiny13A that is
`0x60..0x61`, and the symptom is a mangled prompt byte rather than any error —
the loader is fine, it simply is no longer speaking the agreed rate.
Both are self-inflicted rather than defects, and a reset clears them. Note also
that `--poke` can write OSCCAL, which does take effect — but a session can only
survive a step or two of it before the clock walks the link out of the rate
autobaud locked to, and OSCCAL reverts on reset regardless.
Readouts come one fact per line: `--info` prints the device's version and
signature and the geometry that follows from them, `--fuses` each fuse byte
plus, on a boot-sectioned mega, its decoded meaning. Transfers that take wire time draw a transient progress bar on stderr
when it is a tty. `-v`/`--verbose` adds the decisions as they happen: knock
counts, the programming plan, update state handling and per-phase page counts.
## Tests ## Tests
libavr rides as the `libavr/` submodule (`git submodule update --init libavr`);
`LIBAVR_ROOT` (cache or environment) overrides it for tandem development
against a working tree. `tools/check.sh` runs every chip's workflow (`--full`
adds the reflect-mode builds of libavr's spot set; `tools/make_presets.py`
regenerates the presets).

boot-fuse decode, and the update preflight's error/warning matrix over one-register delay loop and takes the 16-bit one. That is the largest image
synthetic fuse bytes; the configuration space produces, and a shape the ladder default (always the
*fastest* rate a clock reaches) never picks. Pins are an axis for one reason
only, and it is enough: a bit-banged link on a USART's own pins has to
release that USART, so `pureboot_{sw,autobaud}_on_usart{0,1}` build there
too. The timeout is a constant and is no axis;
- `pureboot_autobaud.size` — the clock-free build, which has no clock or baud
axis of its own: one binary per chip has to serve every point the matrix
below sweeps;
- `pbm_*.size` — with `PUREBOOT_FULL_MATRIX=1`, the exhaustive cross product
replacing that compact matrix, on **every** chip: every plausible oscillator
(the internal ones, the CKDIV8 floor, the plain and the UART crystals) ×
every rate reachable from it × every backend, unreachable combinations
dropping out rather than aborting the configure. Thousands of points per
chip, and cheap enough to run rather than reason about;
- `pureboot.pi` — the position-independence lint: no absolute `jmp`/`call`, no
flash-resident section but `.text`, and the image byte-identical when linked
at a different base — which is position independence itself rather than a
proxy for it;
- `pureboot.handshake` — the host tool's activation must not hang on a target
that never falls quiet: the drain after a prompt is bounded by the handshake
deadline, and a well-behaved loader still connects;
- `pureboot.updatelink` — an update whose image changes the baud or the backend
must follow the staging copy onto *its* link, since that copy is the new image;
and where nothing was declared, the failure must name the link rather than
report a bare activation timeout, because by then the staging slot is written
and on a 1 KiB tiny that was the application;
- `pureboot.planner` — the host tool's pure logic: programming orders and their
recovery properties, the surgery, the staging composition, the boot-fuse
decode, the update preflight over synthetic fuse bytes, and the repairing
verify against a fake device;

proves the loader polls the USART it claims;
- `pureboot.mute` (328P) — a software link on USART0's own pins, entered from an
application that handed over with that USART still enabled: the loader must
still answer, which it does only because it releases it. The pin ownership is
the runner's, not simavr's — simavr wires a USART through IRQs and never takes
the pin from the port, so without that model the state under test could not
arise at all;
- `pureboot.dirty` (328P) — entering the loader from a running application over
an SPM buffer it deliberately dirtied, the case the loader declines to guard:
a bare verify must see the corruption and the repairing verify must fix it in
one rewrite. Hardware forbids the state here, but simavr dispatches SPM from
anywhere, which is what makes the path constructible;
- `pureboot.update` — the full `--update-loader` flow, then every power-fail
phase: the device is killed mid-write, restarted from its flash dump, and a
re-run must complete the update with the application intact;
- `pureboot.autobaud` (328P, 1284P) — the clock-free build over the GPIO⇄pty
bridge: the calibration handshake, a flash + EEPROM + fuse round trip against
the simulator's own memory, a data-space round trip, the hand-over — then the
same binary again at double the clock, which is the property the backend
exists for. A lone calibration pulse with no knock behind it must still let
the application boot, so no wait in activation can be unbounded.
`size`, `pi`, `planner` and `handshake` are host logic and run anywhere; the
simulator-driven targets need simavr and a pty, so they are POSIX-only.
## Hardware
The suite above proves the protocol on every chip; it cannot prove a *board*.
Two things live only on silicon: an RC oscillator that is not on its nominal, and
a reset edge that has to come from somewhere. `tools/pbrig.py` and
`tools/pbhw.py` cover that, and know nothing per-board — every deployment fact
is a flag or a `PUREBOOT_*` environment variable.
```sh
export PUREBOOT_PROGRAMMER=atmelice_isp PUREBOOT_PART=t13 PUREBOOT_PORT=COM6
tools/pbrig.py backup rig-backup/ # verified, before anything is written
tools/pbhw.py --autobaud --loader build/ab.bin --app build/pbapp.hex --marker APP
```
`pbrig.py` is the primitives — `signature`, `reset`, `flash`, `fuses`, `backup`,
`rate` — and the module `pbhw.py` builds on. Two rig facts are encoded in it
because neither is guessable: an **ISP access is the reset edge** (the part runs
the moment the programmer releases it, which is the only edge available when the
adapter's DTR is not wired to reset, so a session begins with an ISP touch and
knocks immediately after), and **avrdude splits `-U` on colons**, so a Windows
path's drive letter breaks the spec and every file is passed as a bare name with
avrdude run in its own directory.
`pbrig.py rate` is the one that turns "the loader is silent, so the wiring must
be wrong" into a number. Against a fixture built with `PUREBOOT_HEARTBEAT` — a
*fixed* cycles-per-bit transmitter — it sweeps the host rate, and the band where
the marker still decodes brackets the part's true bit rate; with the clock the
image was built for, that is the clock the part is really running at. No
instrument beyond the adapter already attached. An ATtiny13A measured this way
came out at 9.072 MHz against its 9.6 MHz nominal, −5.5 % — inside the
datasheet's ±10 % and outside what an 8N1 frame survives, which is the whole
case for the autobaud backend on such a part.
`pbhw.py` takes its bounds from the info block the loader reports, so one run
covers a 1 KiB tiny and a 128 KiB mega alike: identity, the EEPROM round trip
and erase, an application flashed and verified and then *seen running*, the
application region read and erased, the loader slot proven intact across that
erase by an independent ISP read, and an oversized image refused. It overwrites
the application flash and EEPROM, which is why `backup` comes first.

"""Position-independence lint for the pureboot image. """Position-independence lint: the property that lets the identical image run
from any slot, asserted from the built ELF and its object.
The self-staging design lets the identical binary run from any 512-byte 1. No absolute jmp/call — -mrelax normally guarantees it, but a branch that
slot, which holds only if nothing in the image addresses itself absolutely. grows out of relaxation range would break it silently.
Two link-time facts guarantee it, both asserted here from the built ELF: 2. Nothing flash-resident to address: the image is .text alone, so there is
no table whose runtime address has to be reconstructed.
3. The image is byte-identical when linked at a different base. This is
position independence itself rather than a proxy for it — an absolute
address anywhere in the image would move with the link and show up as a
differing byte.
1. No absolute jmp/call opcodes — all control flow is PC-relative Usage: check_pi.py <objdump> <objcopy> <cxx> <mcu> <elf> <object> <text_start_hex>
(rjmp/rcall/ijmp/icall). -mrelax normally guarantees this; a code
change that grows a branch out of relaxation range would break it
silently.
2. The info block sits within the image's first 256 bytes: the 'b'
command rebuilds its address as (running slot high byte : low byte of
the link address), which needs the offset to fit that low byte.

"""Hand-over with a USART left enabled on the loader's own pins.
A software or autobaud link deployed on a USART's TxD is mute if an
application hands over with that USART still enabled: TXEN keeps the USART
owning the pin, so the bit-banged transmitter's port writes go nowhere and the
loader receives and obeys while answering nothing. The link's init releases it.
The state is reached the way silicon reaches it — an application that sets up
its USART and jumps in with no reset between, so nothing clears UCSRnB for it.
The pin ownership itself is modelled by the device runner: simavr wires a
USART through IRQs alone and never takes the pin from the port, so without
that the mute could not happen here at all (test/pureboot_device.c).

"""Host-tool activation handshake: it must not hang on a flooding target.
`_handshake` drains the line after it sees a prompt, to absorb a real loader's
trailing bytes before it asks for the identity. That drain must be bounded: a
target that never falls quiet — a board stuck in a reset loop presents exactly
this, ~60 reboots/s of UART-reset garbage in which a stray 0x2b reads as a
prompt — otherwise spins the tool forever. Regression for that hang, plus a
control that a well-behaved loader still connects.
Stdlib only, no device: host-tool logic, so it runs on every chip's preset
beside pureboot.planner.

"""Hardware acceptance suite for a pureboot deployment.
`tools/check.sh` proves the protocol under simavr on every chip. This proves one
*board*: that the loader actually installed on it answers, that the memories
round-trip over the real link, that the application it flashes runs afterwards,
and that the refusals which keep a 512-byte slot alive still fire. Run it once
when a board is brought up, and again whenever the deployment moves — a new
clock, a new backend, new pins.
Every check derives its bounds from the info block the loader itself reports, so
nothing here is per-chip: the same run covers a 1 KiB tiny whose application
region is 510 usable bytes and a 128 KiB mega whose flash needs a bank in the
selector.
**This overwrites the board's application flash and EEPROM.** Capture them first
with `pbrig.py backup`, which verifies what it captured.

"""Hardware rig driver for pureboot: an ISP programmer beside a serial link.
The simulated suites (`test/pb*.py`) prove the protocol; this drives the same
loader on real silicon, where the things a cycle-exact simulator cannot model
live — an RC oscillator off its nominal, a reset edge that has to come from
somewhere, a serial bridge with its own idea of what a baud is.
Nothing here knows a port name, a part or a programmer. Every deployment fact
arrives from the command line or the environment, so the same script serves any
board: see `Deployment`. As a module it is the reset/flash/talk primitives that
`pbhw.py` builds its acceptance suite from; as a command it is the handful of
one-shot operations worth having on a rig — most importantly `backup`, which is
the only thing standing between a fuse experiment and an unrecoverable part.
Two rig facts are encoded here because they are not guessable and cost a
session each to learn:
* **An ISP access resets the part**, and it runs again the moment the programmer
releases it. That is the only reset edge available when the serial adapter's
DTR is not wired to reset — so a loader session begins with an ISP touch and
knocks immediately after, which is what `Rig.pureboot()` does.
* **avrdude splits `-U memory:op:file:format` on colons**, so a Windows path's
drive letter breaks the spec. Every file argument is therefore passed as a
bare filename with avrdude run in that file's own directory.

"""What the loader images actually measure, and whether the README still agrees.
The size matrix asserts every image fits its slot; it says nothing about the
numbers the README prints, and those drift. Every row of that table was eight
bytes stale once `startup::caller_page()` landed — common code, so every build
moved at once and no test noticed, because none of them was over budget.
Two questions, both answered from built trees:
sizes.py max the largest image per chip, and anything over budget
sizes.py check-readme the README's per-chip table against what is built
Nothing here knows a chip's geometry. The (image, budget) pairs come from each
build's own `CTestTestfile.cmake` — the same values the gate checks — so the
slot rules stay where they belong, in `pureboot/CMakeLists.txt`, and a chip
added or a budget changed needs no edit here. Only trees a configure preset
still owns are read: a stale directory keeps its last build, and a loader built
before a slot changed will happily report a size that was true once
(`tools/prune-build-trees.sh` in libavr removes them).
Sizes come from `avr-size`, and a target is only as current as its last build —
run the gate first if you want the table checked against today's source.

// TinySafeBoot on libavr — the policy floor: pureboot's rules, measured.
//
// The full TinySafeBoot feature set — watchdog bail, one-wire half-duplex,
// config-page activation timeout, password gate, emergency erase, and
// config/flash/EEPROM read-write — under philosophy #5 exactly as pureboot
// obeys it: no assembly, no register variables; code, attributes, and flags
// only. Every lesson pureboot's development produced is applied — the
// library's half-duplex serial and startup entry, lean bring-up from reset
// state, one merged send loop over both memories, oracle-shaped loop bounds,
// locals threaded through noinline primitives, pureboot's codegen flags —
// and the result is 638 bytes: 198 below the idiomatic tier, and 126 above
// the 512 B boot section the tricks/asm tiers reach with the banned
// mechanisms (526/510). This tier exists to keep that number an artifact
// rather than a claim: the gap to 512 is the rent of policy-clean C++ —
// helpers that hold a cursor across rx()/tx() pay push/pop and argument
// threading where a global-register protocol pays nothing, and both
// control-flow merges tried (a parametrized paged session, a merged store
// loop) measured larger than the split cases they replaced. TSB's wire fixes
// the per-command loop shapes on the device, so pureboot 5's one-transfer-
// loop collapse has no purchase here.
//
// The wire protocol is strict request/response, which is what makes the
// shared line safe: the device drives it only between a received command and
// its reply, and releases it (the library's half-duplex choreography)
