If I understend well at this time there is no possibility to place a 
table in the bootloader section, because If I define a table as 
prog_char, the table will be placed in the .progmem section.

Is this correct ?

Hmm... could be possible to relocate the .text section to a defined 
address ?

Hi,

I have myself written a boot loader for an Atmega64 by relocating the .text
section to 0xF000 using the following command in the make file :

ORG = 0xF000
.....
LDFLAGS = -Wl,-Map=$(TARGET).map,--cref, --section-start -Ttext=$(ORG)

The only annoyance I have found, is that in the AVRStudio-4 I can't debug in
the C source because the only symbols I get, are the function names but it
remain possible to step into the ASM window.
