Re: [avrdude-dev] CRC check

[idefixx]

Let me tell you about the main idea behind my initial question:
As already was metioned the idea of CRC check of the flash program memory is 
intended to detect memory failures that appear during the usage of the 
microcontroller. As technology is not error-proof such a failure could have 
different reasons.
For certain high reliability applications where the appliance is intended not 
to be turned off for a long time (maybe several years) it is necessary to not 
only check the memory condition during start-up but also during the run (e.g. 
in certain time intervals or when the uC is in idle state).
In order to safe program memory for the CRC generation (which is only needed 
for the very first start-up after programming the uC) I was thinking about 
handling this as an option of the programmer software, as it is also suggested 
in the Atmel application note 236.

Regards.
