[avr-chat] Serial Numbers with avrdude (or other?)

[David Kelly]

I can see the need in the near future to embed a sequential serial  
number in either EEPROM or FLASH. Avrdude appears to be a good choice  
but doesn't list an explicit option to do this. It does have a means  
of counting erase cycles which is close but not quite what I'm after.

The -U option might work without having to generate a hex or srec  
file for each and every serial number, but in the "m" immediate mode  
I don't see any means of specifying an address?

Also in the manpage I see "memtype" is often used, defined as "The  
memtype field specifies the memory type to operate on." But its valid  
values are never enumerated.
