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.

dd7490a3df build: generated presets and a check entry point 
tools/make_presets.py emits the uniform pipeline the hand-grown file had
drifted from — generated configure/build/test presets and workflows for
all 37 chips, reflect configure/build for libavr's 12-chip spot set —
and tools/check.sh runs every chip's workflow (--full adds the reflect
spot) as the port's gate.

--info prints the decoded info block field by field and --fuses each
byte on its own line plus the BOOTSZ/BOOTRST meaning on boot-sectioned

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 
The deployment section claimed the 1284P has no standalone profile, runs
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
its 512.

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.

e4aaf5bc62 build: emit an Intel-HEX beside every loader image 
avrdude programs Intel-HEX, not ELF, and the build produced only ELFs — so
flashing a loader to a real chip meant running objcopy by hand. add_hex_output()
hangs a POST_BUILD objcopy on each loader image: the three tsb tiers through
add_tsb_variant, pureboot, and the re-timed pureboot9. .eeprom is dropped, being
its own avrdude update.

It uses the toolchain file's CMAKE_OBJCOPY rather than a hardcoded path, so
every chip preset emits hex, not just the mega. pbapp keeps its ELF alone: the
update test converts it to a raw binary itself, and it is not a flashing target.

653602058a 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.

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).

9a9a7ef0e8 pureboot: review-pass fixes to the host tool and device runner 
pureboot.py: reject an empty image file with a clear error instead of
an IndexError deep in the vector-surgery planner; tighten the erase
docstring (order is irrelevant there — every target byte is the same
value, unlike a real flash where page 0 must go last).

pureboot_device.c: the GPIO bridge's bit_cycles used plain truncating
division where the firmware computes its own bit period with
round-to-nearest (uart.hpp: (Clock.hz + Baud.bd/2)/Baud.bd) — one
cycle off per bit on both tinies, harmless in practice but needless
drift against a firmware built to a different constant. Matched
exactly. Also clear the queued-bytes/decode-in-progress bridge state
on the test-only reset signal, so a future reset-mid-transfer scenario
can't feed a freshly reset chip bytes queued for its previous life.

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

application's banner. Results are cross-checked against ground-truth
memory dumps and an independent decode of the surgery's rjmp words,

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.

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.

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.

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.

# 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, both by this port's own build and by a downstream project. A
# downstream project brings its usual libavr setup (the `libavr` target and
# the LIBAVR_MCU toolchain preset), adds this directory, and states its
# deployment:
#
# add_subdirectory(bootloader/pureboot)
# pureboot_add_loader(myboot CLOCK 1000000 SERIAL software TX pb1 RX pb5)
#
# Every argument is optional — CLOCK defaults to the family assumption
# below, BAUD to the fastest standard rate the clock reaches within 2.5 %
# (the ladder), SERIAL to the chip's hardware USART where it has one
# (`hardware`/`software` force a backend, USART 1 picks the second
# instance), RX/TX to pb0/pb1 for the software UART, TIMEOUT to 8 s.
# Infeasible picks fail the build by name: libavr's baud-error and
# software-UART cycle-floor static asserts re-check whatever is passed.
# Per-family geometry: flash/page/EEPROM sizes and the linker wrap the PC
# modulo needs, the loader slot (each chip's smallest boot sector — 1 KiB on
# the word-addressed 1284s), and the deployment defaults (crystal assumption
# on the megas, calibrated RC on the tinies). 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).

# pureboot
A serial bootloader on [libavr](https://git.blackmark.me/avr/libavr), pure by
constraint: one C++ source, no inline assembly, no global register variables
(attributes and compiler flags allowed), built for **every chip libavr
targets — all 37 — in 512 bytes each**: 434 B on the tiny13s, 438–442 B on
the tiny25/45/85, 412–452 B across the megas, and 506 B on the
ATmega1284/1284P, whose far-flash machinery (ELPM reads, RAMPZ page commands,
word-addressed wire) is the heaviest. Those are the stock deployments;
choosing the software UART where the chip has a USART costs 8–46 B more (a
bit-bang against a peripheral), which every chip still absorbs inside its
slot — on the 1284s that means their 1 KiB boot sector, where the
software-serial image lands at 546 B. Bringing the 1284's default build
under 512 at all is what the loop-placement attributes on the byte streamers
(`pureboot.cpp`) and the codegen flags on the loader TU (`CMakeLists.txt`)
are for; measured against each chip's own budget the tightest is the
ATmega328P, 50 B spare. Clock, baud, serial backend and
pins are per-build configuration (below); the size matrix in the test suite
holds every combination inside its slot. The device speaks primitives; every
composite — verify, erase, reset-vector surgery, updating the loader itself —
lives in the host tool (`pureboot.py`).
The 1284s still *deploy* in a 1 KiB slot, their smallest boot sector being
512 words; at 506 B the image would also fit the 644's
two-512-byte-slots-per-boot-sector geometry.
The image is **position-independent**: control flow is PC-relative, the
read/write paths take wire addresses, the write guard protects the slot the
code is *running* in (from the runtime return address), the info block is
addressed from that same anchor, and the application jump is an indirect
call to an absolute entry. The identical binary therefore runs from any
slot with every command intact — which makes pureboot **its own staging
loader**: the host installs the same binary one slot below the resident,
jumps into it, and lets it rewrite the resident. The slot is 512 bytes
(1 KiB on the word-addressed large chips, matching their boot-sector
minimum); on the tinies the budget is 510, not 512: a slot's last word
belongs to the host-managed trampoline (below).
## Configuration
Every deployment axis is a build parameter, resolved by the CMake function
`pureboot_add_loader()` (in `pureboot/CMakeLists.txt`) — the one way a
loader target is created, by this repo's own 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` | 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. 16 MHz lands 115200, 8 MHz 57600,
1 MHz 9600. Whatever is picked or overridden is re-checked in the compile:
an infeasible clock/baud/backend combination, or a USART the chip does not
have, fails with a named static assert.
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 — for example an ATmega328P on its shipped
1 MHz fuses with the software UART on hand-picked pins:
```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 example deployment runs the full
protocol suite in CI (`pureboot.custom`).
## Link
The stock builds assume the family's natural deployment; any axis moves
per build (above).
| Chip | Serial | Baud | Clock assumed |
|---|---|---|---|
| every ATmega | the hardware USART (USART0), RXD/TXD per pinout | 115200 8N1 | 16 MHz crystal |
| ATtiny25/45/85 | software UART, RX = PB0, TX = PB1 | 57600 8N1 | 8 MHz internal RC |
| ATtiny13/13A | software UART, RX = PB0, TX = PB1 | 57600 8N1 | 9.6 MHz internal RC |
The software-UART RX pin has its pull-up enabled; TX idles high. All
multi-byte quantities on the wire are little-endian.
## Activation
Reset enters the loader (BOOTRST on the boot-sectioned megas; the patched
reset vector on the tinies and the boot-section-less m48s) — except a
watchdog reset, which hands straight to the application (the application
owns its watchdog; it must clear WDRF itself, which also releases the
WDRF-forced WDE).
The host then has one activation window per awaited byte to knock: `p` then
`b`. Each awaited byte gets a fresh window; any other byte is discarded and
awaited again (line noise cannot lock the loader, only delay it). A window
expiring with an idle line boots the application.
The window length is a compile-time constant — 8 s by default, another
value via `pureboot_add_loader(... TIMEOUT <s>)` (the stock target keeps
the `PUREBOOT_TIMEOUT` cache variable) — so the whole EEPROM belongs to
the application; pureboot never uses it for its own state. Re-timing a
deployed loader is a self-update with a re-timed build (below).
## Session
After the knock the loader stays in its command loop until `J` jumps away or
the chip resets. Before reading each command it waits for any pending EEPROM
write to finish and sends the prompt `+` (0x2b) — the prompt is therefore
also the completion ack of the previous command. A session is: await `+`,
send a command, read its reply, repeat.
On chips whose flash exceeds 64 KiB (the 1284s — info-block flag bit 1) the
`R`/`W` flash addresses are **word** addresses; everywhere else they are byte
addresses (the 644s' 64 KiB is exactly the 16-bit byte space and stays
byte-addressed). EEPROM addresses are always bytes, counts always bytes.
| Cmd | Arguments | Reply |
|---|---|---|
| `b` | — | the 12-byte info block |
| `R` | addr16, n8 | n flash bytes (n = 0 means 256) |
| `W` | addr16, then one page of data | — (completion = next prompt) |
| `r` | addr16, n8 | n EEPROM bytes (n = 0 means 256) |
| `w` | addr16, n8, then n data bytes | `+` per byte, sent once its write has begun |
| `F` | — | 4 bytes: low fuse, lock, extended fuse, high fuse |
| `J` | word address (16-bit) | `+`, then execution continues there |
| other | — | ignored; the loop re-prompts (send a junk byte, await `+`, to resync) |
`W` streams exactly one SPM page (size from the info block) into the buffer,
then erases and programs; the address must be page-aligned. Pages inside the
512-byte slot the loader is *running* in are drained but never programmed — a
broken host cannot brick the running copy, and a staged copy may rewrite the
resident slot.
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 (drained, never programmed) and — where SPM runs from anywhere,
the tinies and the m48s — an application that self-programmed before
entering. The next `W` takes those stale words, and clears them: 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); a host that
programs without reading back cannot trust the first `W` after either event.
`w` is host-paced: send the next byte only after the previous
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.
`J` is the one control-transfer primitive: the host uses it to run the
application (word 0 on the mega, the trampoline word on the tinies — both
known from the info block) and to move between loader copies during a
self-update. A jump to a loader slot's base re-enters that copy's own
startup; it must then be knocked afresh.
The info block (`b`):
| Offset | Content |
|---|---|
| 0–2 | `'P'`, `'B'`, protocol version (1) |
| 3–5 | device signature |
| 6 | SPM page size in bytes (0 means 256) |
| 7–8 | loader base — application flash ends here (a word address when bit 1 is set) |
| 9–10 | EEPROM size |
| 11 | bit 0: host must patch the reset vector (no hardware boot section); bit 1: flash wire addresses are word addresses |
Composites are the host's job: verify = read back and compare, erase =
write `0xff` (per page for flash, per byte for EEPROM).
## Deployment
The build leaves three artifacts per chip. The ELF is a container for the
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 with no addressing, which a programmer would put at address 0.
On a boot-sectioned mega a copy at 0 is dead weight (SPM only executes
from the boot section, so it cannot even heal itself — reflash the .hex);
on the patched-vector chips it *runs* (the image is position-independent
and reset enters word 0), reports its canonical geometry, and the ordinary
`--update-loader` flow re-homes a build into the top slot from any
position — the staging install and the word-0 redirect execute from
copies outside page 0's slot, and a copy sitting in the staging slot
itself is recognized as the installed staging copy and left in place (it
streams the new resident like any staged copy, so an older build installs
a newer one). `pureboot.rehome` is the acceptance test for both
positions. Flashing the application afterwards overwrites the stale copy,
vector surgery included.
**Boot-sectioned megas**: program the loader at `flash − slot` with an
external programmer. Every such mega has a BOOTSZ step whose boot section
is exactly the loader slot — 512 B, the second-smallest step on the 8 KiB
and 16 KiB chips (m8, m88, m16, m168, m164), the smallest on the 32 KiB
ones (m32, m328, m324); on the 1284s that step is the smallest, 512 words,
which is why their slot is 1 KiB — so the ATmega328P profiles below apply
to every one of them with its own addresses and slot size; the per-chip
BOOTSZ ladders live in the host tool (`BOOT_FUSE`). The 1284s' numbers:
standalone = BOOTSZ 512 words (reset at the loader base 0x1fc00);
self-update = 1024 words, covering both 1 KiB slots, the loader-first
reset landing at 0x1f800 — the staging slot, walked across when erased.
The **644s** are the geometry's sweet spot: their smallest boot section
(512 words = 1 KiB) is exactly *two* 512-byte 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 at
0xfc00, one erased slot below the loader: the loader-first walk built in).
ATmega328P profiles (addresses for its 32 KiB):
| BOOTSZ | BOOTRST | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| 256 words (512 B) | programmed | *Standalone*: reset always enters the loader; **self-update impossible** (the staging slot lies outside the boot section, where SPM is disabled). |
| 512 words (1 KB) | unprogrammed | *Self-update, app-first*: reset always boots the application, which owns all 31.5 KB and must offer its own jump to 0x7e00 to reach the loader (a virgin chip reaches it by reset across erased flash). Updates are power-fail-safe except mid-rewrite of the resident slot itself (no reset path leads to the staging copy then). |
| 512 words (1 KB) | programmed | *Self-update, loader-first*: reset lands at 0x7c00 — the staging slot, normally erased, so execution walks up into the loader; during an update it is the staging copy itself, so a mid-rewrite power loss recovers by reset. The loss windows move to the staging install/retire page writes instead (page-write scale). The host keeps `[0x7c00, 0x7e00)` clear of application data (`--force` overrides). |
Applications are flashed unmodified — word 0 stays the application's own
reset vector, and the hand-over jumps to 0.
**Patched-vector chips — the tinies and the m48s** (no boot section; the
m48s' SPM runs from the entire flash, Atmel-8271 §26): program the loader
at `flash − 512`; erased flash below it walks up into the loader, so a
virgin chip activates. When flashing an application the host performs
reset-vector surgery: word 0 is rewritten to `rjmp` to the loader base, and
the application's own entry is re-encoded as a trampoline `rjmp` in the
word just below the loader (`base − 2`, where the hand-over jumps). Every
other vector stays the application's. The patched page 0 and the trampoline
page are written *first*, so from the first write on an interrupted flash
still resets into the loader; an erase runs top-down for the same reason.
The m48s speak this profile over their hardware USART — no fuse preflight,
BOOTRST does not exist there.
## Updating the loader
`pureboot.py --update-loader new_pureboot.bin` replaces the resident loader
with any pureboot build — a re-timed window, a newer protocol — using the
loader itself as its own staging loader. The image is the loader's own 512
bytes as a raw binary, or the Intel HEX the build emits beside it, which
links the loader at its base inside an otherwise blank flash image:
The preflight refuses an image built for another chip: the info block
embedded in every pureboot binary (signature, page size, loader base,
EEPROM size, flags) must match the device's own, and the error names both.
Die revisions share their base signature and geometry, so their images are
interchangeable — as the silicon is. `loader_image()` also accepts a
padded image (a raw .bin padded from 0, or a whole-flash read-back with
the loader resident) and peels it to the slot content by the embedded base.
1. The staging slot `[base−slot, 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 identical update image there. On the
patched-vector chips the host composes the slot's last word — the same
address as the resident's trampoline — as a jump to the resident base,
so even an abandoned staging copy times out into a loader, never into
garbage. A loader already sitting whole in the staging slot (its info
block in place, the slot unchanged since the update began) 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. On the
patched-vector chips whose staging slot sits away from page 0 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.
4. `J` enters the new resident, which restores the staging slot's saved
content (word 0 and the trampoline with it) and the state file is
discarded.
Every phase is idempotent and keyed off the actual flash state: re-running
the same command after any interruption resumes and completes. The state
file carries the only bytes not recoverable from the device; if it is lost
mid-update the update still completes, and the staging region is restored by
reflashing the application. A boot-sectioned mega needs its fuses for the
preflight (BOOTSZ gate, profile notes) — read from the device, or supplied
with `--assume-fuses` where reading is impossible (simulators); the
patched-vector chips need none.
## Host tool
`pureboot.py` — Python 3, standard library only. The port layer is the one
platform-specific part: termios drives any tty on POSIX (a USB adapter as
well as a simavr pty), the Win32 serial API through `ctypes` drives a COM
port on Windows (`--port COM6`; the `\\.\` form for two-digit ports is
supplied by the tool). Opening the port asserts DTR and RTS on both, so a
board that wires DTR to reset gets its reset pulse and opens the activation
window by itself.
pureboot.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 57600 \
--info --fuses --flash app.hex
Operations run in a fixed order within one session: info, fuses, loader
update, flash (erase / program / read / verify), EEPROM (erase / program /
read / verify) — then the loader hands over to the application; `--stay`
keeps the session alive instead, and a later invocation reconnects into it
(the knock converges there too). `--flash` and `--eeprom` verify by
read-back unless `--no-verify`, and a flash page that reads back wrong is
rewritten up to three times before the run stops — the loader leaves one
recoverable way for a page to land wrong (see `W` above), and rewriting is
what clears it. `--verify-flash` only reports. Images are raw binary, or
Intel HEX by extension. `--force` overrides the refusable safety checks (today: flashing
application data into a mega's reset walk region).
Readouts come one fact per line: `--info` prints the decoded info block
field by field, `--fuses` each fuse byte on its own line — plus, on a
boot-sectioned mega, the decoded meaning (where the BOOTSZ section starts,
what BOOTRST does to reset). Transfers that take wire time — programming,
reading, erasing, verifying, the update phases — draw a transient progress
bar on stderr when it is a tty; logs and pipes see only the summary lines.
`-v`/`--verbose` adds the decisions as they happen: knock counts, the
programming plan (vector-surgery targets, skipped blank pages), update
state handling and per-phase page counts.
## Tests
`tools/check.sh` runs every chip's workflow (`tools/check.sh --full` adds
the reflect-mode builds of libavr's spot set; `tools/make_presets.py`
regenerates the presets). Per chip preset, `ctest` runs:
- `pureboot.size` — the 510-byte (tinies) / 512-byte (mega) budget;
- `pureboot_*.size` — the size matrix: the serial backends × the clock
ladder (1/8/16 MHz; the t13s' own RC menu), plus the USART1 build on the
x4 chips — every configuration axis that could move the image, each
variant against the same slot budget (pins are immediate operands and the
timeout is a constant: size-neutral);
- `pureboot.custom` (328P) — the configured-deployment acceptance test: the
1 MHz software-serial TX=PB1/RX=PB5 build from the configuration example
drives the full protocol suite through the runner's GPIO bridge, fixture
application included;
- `pureboot.usart1` (644A) — the same protocol suite over the second
hardware USART: instance selection is compile-checked everywhere, but
only a live session proves the loader polls the USART it claims;
- `pureboot.pi` — the position-independence lint: no absolute `jmp`/`call`
in the image, the info block within its first 256 bytes;
- `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's error/warning matrix over
synthetic fuse bytes, and the repairing verify against a fake device — one
bad write repaired in a single rewrite, a page that never comes good
stopping after exactly three;
- `pureboot.protocol` — end to end against a simavr device
(`test/pureboot_device.c` — a hardware USART as a pty, or a cycle-timed
GPIO⇄pty bridge for a software-UART build, selected with `-l` to match
the loader's link; plus the SPM/NVM module simavr's tiny cores lack)
driven by the real host tool through
knock-from-reset, program + verify of both memories, session reconnect, an
external reset through the patched vector, and the hand-over to a fixture
application whose banner proves the launch — cross-checked against the
simulator's ground-truth memory dumps and an independent decode of the
surgery's rjmp words;
- `pureboot.reloc` — the identical image installed one slot below the
resident serves the complete command set from there (the
position-independence acceptance test);
- `pureboot.dirty` (328P) — entering the loader from a running application
with no reset between, over an SPM page buffer the fixture deliberately
dirtied: the case the loader declines to guard against. A bare verify must
see the corruption, the repairing verify must fix it in one rewrite, and a
plain verify afterwards must pass. On the boot-sectioned megas hardware
forbids the state outright (SPM runs only from the boot section, and reset
erases the buffer), but simavr dispatches SPM from anywhere — which is what
makes the path constructible at all;
- `pureboot.update` — the full `--update-loader` flow to a re-timed build,
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 throughout.
`size`, `pi`, and `planner` are host logic and run anywhere; the
simulator-driven targets need simavr and a pty, so they are POSIX-only —
on Windows the tool is exercised against real hardware.

// pureboot — a serial bootloader on libavr, pure by constraint: one C++

The self-staging design lets the identical binary run from any 512-byte

1. No absolute jmp/call opcodes — all control flow is PC-relative

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.

"""Regenerate CMakePresets.json — one uniform pipeline per chip.
Every chip gets generated-mode configure/build/test presets and a workflow
running all three. Reflect-mode presets (configure + build, no tests — the
port's TUs compile identically; the sims prove nothing new there) exist for
libavr's reflect spot set only, mirroring its rule: the full reflect matrix
is never built, one chip per hardware class and pack vintage is.
