 In many cases, this allows you to use the AVRDude program command without having to manually reset the AVR.  Alternatively,​ the API call ''​xboot_reset()''​ will have the same effect.  ​ In many cases, this allows you to use the AVRDude program command without having to manually reset the AVR.  Alternatively,​ the API call ''​xboot_reset()''​ will have the same effect.  ​

 +=== - Combine hex files ===
 +
 +To streamline programming multiple chips for a production run, the tool ''​srec_cat''​ can be used to combine the hex files. ​ Use the command as follows:
 +
 +<​code>​
 +srec_cat xboot.hex -intel main.hex -intel -o mergedfile.hex -intel
 +</​code>​
 +
 +This will concatenate the two hex files together with the proper offsets. ​ Please make sure to use xboot.hex and not xboot-boot.hex to ensure tha the correct offset is used (xboot.hex is relative to address 0 while xboot-boot.hex is relative to the start of the boot section). ​ Note that the combined hex file cannot be programmed with xboot; it is intended to be written with an ISP programmer so both xboot and the application are written in one step.  ​

-XBoot is designed to be reconfigured to suit specific needs. ​ Out of the box, all of the standard features are turned on.  Turning off features and reassigning pins is easy, just pick a .conf.mk file in the .conf folder, make a copy of it, and edit the appropriate parameters. ​ Then build xboot with your parameters by running ​"make [file].conf.mk".  ​+XBoot is designed to be reconfigured to suit specific needs. ​ Out of the box, all of the standard features are turned on.  Turning off features and reassigning pins is easy, just pick a .conf.mk file in the .conf folder, make a copy of it, and edit the appropriate parameters. ​ Then build xboot with your parameters by running ​''​make [file].conf.mk''​.  ​
