[avrdude-dev] avrdude GUI with Fuse Calculator

[Andreas Weber]

Hi at all,

Mark H. (http://palmavr.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/fc.cgi) and I discuss if 
we should program a FLTK GUI for avrdude with Fuse bit calculator 
(similar to his online version). The emphasis should be to calculate and 
program the fuse bits, not to up- or download the firmware.

I saw a discussion on this mailing list in 2005: "Bad news on this. I 
just got word from Atmel, and we do NOT have permission to redistribute 
Atmel's XML part description files"

The fuse calculator should extract the rules from a patched version of 
Atmels XML files but now I see some license issues.

My question is now if some facts of the case from 2005 has changed or 
where we could get the fuse bit information NOT reading all the 
datasheets individually. Or is it legal to write a xml converter tool 
which extracts only the fuse settings?

TIA, Andy
