atmega8 program size limit? - avr
I am new to atmega8. I convert some old freesacle code into atmega8. but seems my chip can not hold code more than 2400 bytes? below is result, when code is 2412 bytes... all things become mess.
code below avrdude is comes from "cat /dev/ttyUSB0". my debug informations.

AVR-IrDA-Tone-Audio start.
version 1.2
--IrDA-- Bin: 1001-0000 Hex: 90 Complete Hex: 00-FD-90-6F
all hfuse, lfuse, lock bits are original value. my code might be 6k with some audio data.
if it is due to boot flash section?

i guess you are loading the audio data into the ram. a variable declaration like
char* data = "somerandomdata";
is putting all the data in the SRAM, and you just have 1kbyte of SRAM in the mega8 (which also contains the stack etc).
if the lock bits are in their original state, the bootloader mechanism should not cause this error.
you should specify the audio data as program space, here is the description how:
Avr LibC PGM Space
here is how your code should look like:
h4.c
#include <avr/pgmspace.h>
const unsigned char h4[] PROGMEM = { 18,7,0,0,128,128,128,127,127,129,129,127,126,128,130,129,128,129,127,127,128,128,132,127,129,126,128,128,127,127,127,129,127,127,130,129,127,127,129,130,129,125,
you need to adjust your set_audio function,
every reading of the pointer h4 shall be done in this way:
change for example
value = *h4_copy++;
to
value = pgm_read_byte(h4_copy); h4_copy++;

Problem in Uploading Sketch in Arduino Uno
I'm using arduino for around 3-4months. Now I'm facing issue in uploading sketch in arduino Uno. This happened after using atmel-ice for debugging. I was trying to debug the code using atmel-ice for the first time in atmel studio. I followed tutorial video on YouTube for connecting and debugging arduino uno using atmel-ice debugger. It never started debugging it turned off with an error. After that I tried to upload sketch in board using arduino ide as well as atmel studio and using ice also but it cannot upload the sketch and in atmel studio I could read the device signature previously after trying debugging, I cannot read the device signature. I never touched the fuse settings in the atmel studio for arduino. It was default. avrdude: Version 6.3-20190619 Copyright (c) 2000-2005 Brian Dean, http://www.bdmicro.com/ Copyright (c) 2007-2014 Joerg Wunsch System wide configuration file is "C:\Users\Saurabh\Documents\ArduinoData\packages\arduino\tools\avrdude\6.3.0-arduino17/etc/avrdude.conf" Using Port : COM12 Using Programmer : arduino Overriding Baud Rate : 115200 avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x08 avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 2 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x08 avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 3 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x08 avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 4 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x08 avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 5 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x08 avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 6 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x08 avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 7 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x08 avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 8 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x08 avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 9 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x08 avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x08 avrdude done. Thank you. Getting above errors. in arduino ide. I read similar issues with others some of them were saying it is in debugging mode. But after restarting it should go out of that as uno resets. I've also checked loopback it's working. This happend with my 3 of uno boards I've only 1 left now. How can I solve the issue. I tried burning boot loader also but that also got error. I think may be fuses are the issue. How can I Solve this issue. if I'm using FTDI232 programmer it showing avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\\.\COM13": Access is denied. avrdude done.

Make sure that there is no input on the Tx/Rx pins then it works. I've tried this and board started working.
macOS size command shows a really large number?
> size /bin/ls __TEXT __DATA __OBJC others dec hex 20480 4096 0 4294983680 4295008256 10000a000 How could it be that ls is 4GB? Is size not meant to be used on executables? I have 4GB ram, so is it just showing me the amount memory it can use?
On macOS, 64-bit apps have a 4GB page zero, by default. Page zero is chunk of the address space starting at address 0 which allows no access. This is what causes access violations when a program dereferences a null pointer. 64-bit Mac programs use a 4GB page zero so that, should any valid pointer get accidentally truncated to 32 bits by a program bug (e.g. cast to int and back to a pointer), it will be invalid and cause a crash as soon as possible. That helps to find and fix such bugs. The page zero segment in the Mach-O executable file doesn't actually use 4GB on disk. It's just a bit of metadata that tells the kernel and dynamic loader how much address space to reserve for it. It seems that size is including the virtual size of all segments, regardless of whether they take up space on disk or not. Also, the page zero doesn't consume actual RAM when the program is loaded, either. Again, there's just some bookkeeping data to track the fact that the lower 4GB of the address space is reserved. The size being reported for "others", 4294983680 bytes, is 0x100004000 in hex. That's the 4GB page zero (0x100000000) plus another 4 pages for some other segments. You can use the -m option to size to get more detail: $ size -m /bin/ls Segment __PAGEZERO: 4294967296 Segment __TEXT: 20480 Section __text: 13599 Section __stubs: 456 Section __stub_helper: 776 Section __const: 504 Section __cstring: 1150 Section __unwind_info: 148 total 16633 Segment __DATA: 4096 Section __got: 40 Section __nl_symbol_ptr: 16 Section __la_symbol_ptr: 608 Section __const: 552 Section __data: 40 Section __bss: 224 Section __common: 140 total 1620 Segment __LINKEDIT: 16384 total 4295008256 You can also use the command otool -lV /bin/ls to see the loader commands of the executable, including the one establishing the __PAGEZERO segment.
The size command outputs information related to some binary executable and how it is running. It is not about the file. The 4Gb number might be (that is just my guess) related to the virtual address space needed to run it. I don't have a MacOSX operating system (because it is proprietary and tied to hardware that I dislike and find too expensive). But on Linux (which is mostly POSIX, like MacOSX), size /bin/ls gives: text data bss dec hex filename 124847 4672 4824 134343 20cc7 /bin/ls while ls -l /bin/ls shows -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 138856 Feb 28 16:30 /bin/ls Of course, when ls is running, it has some data (notably bss) which is not corresponding to a part of the executable Try man size on your system to get an explanation. For Linux, see size(1) (it gives info about sections of an ELF executable) and ls(1) (it gives the file size). On MacOSX, executables follow the Mach-O format. On Linux, if you try size on a non-executable file such as /etc/passwd, you get size: /etc/passwd: file format not recognized and I guess that you should have some error message on MacOSX if you try that. Think of size giving executable size information. The name is historical and a bit misleading.
Error while unmounting mmcblk1p1 on beaglebone black - during repartitioning and formatting
Hi I'm a newbie of embeded linux. I'm following this tutorial (https://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/linux/f/354/t/398780?Script-to-Erase-Emmc-independently-Beagle-Bone-Black) for flashing my linux system to beaglebone eMMC. But I have an error: umount: can't umount /dev/mmcblk1p1: Invalid argument This is my cmd : Disk /dev/mmcblk1: 3825 MB, 3825205248 bytes 4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 116736 cylinders Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/mmcblk1p1 * 2048 2536 15648 e Win95 FAT16 (LBA) /dev/mmcblk1p2 1 2047 65496 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order Command (m for help): w The partition table has been altered.

Does anybody have any idea of what did I do wrong or did I miss something?
This is an error in the script you are following. If you have created new partitions without a file system you would not expect them to be mounted. Creating the 2nd partition in sectors 1 - 2047 is probably not what you want to do. You should use all the space after partition 1.
ECC check for Erased pages in NAND
I wanted to verify the following patch https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8368341/ For same , wrote all zero's to one of nand partition : nandwrite -n /dev/mdt1 < /dev/zero But now when I dump this nand partition, see following errors: ECC: 3 uncorrectable bitflip(s) at offset 0x00000000 ECC: 2 uncorrectable bitflip(s) at offset 0x00000800 ECC: 2 uncorrectable bitflip(s) at offset 0x00001000 I thought above mentioned patch , suppose to fix this ECC errors but it didn't. Is they other way to verify this patch ?

Thank you. make: *** [flash] Error 1 UPDATE: Seems to be a problem with my wiring but i can't find a good tutorial on where my wiring needs to go. Right now I'm using this:
Is that the entirety of your circuit? From the online documentation, The AVRISP mkII does not provide power on the Vcc pin, but uses this pin to sense the voltage on the target circuitry. Your circuit needs to be powered by external means to operate. You also need to pull reset to Vcc through a resistor so that it doesn't float when not activated.
