#!/usr/bin/env python3 """The reset walk region, end to end - the brick this refusal exists for. BOOTRST programmed on a boot-sectioned mega enters reset at the boot section's base, and the loader is reached only by walking up across erased flash. An application that grew into that span is executed by the reset instead: it happened to an ssd1306 board on a 328P with hfuse 0xdc, and with no reset edge brought out, an ICE was the only way back. The plain --flash is the path under test. It asks for no fuses of its own, which is exactly why it once skipped the check and wrote the image anyway. The runner still resets into the loader - the walk itself is not modeled. What is modeled is the fuse read, so the refusal is decided from the bytes silicon would have answered (-f, test/pureboot_device.cpp).
