Advice: Points corresponding to AVR_Ex series #371

@askn37

Description

@askn37
  1. The recording address of SIGROW_DEVICEID[012] is different for AVR_EA and AVR_EB. Therefore, you need to create separate binaries for each.
  2. CLKCTRL of AVR_Ex is equivalent to tinyAVR/megaAVR series. Select the UART baud rate by reading the 20MHz/16MHz configuration bits in FUSE.
  3. NVMCTRL of AVR_Ex is ver.3. The usage method and command selection are different from AVR_Dx.
  4. The maximum flash capacity of AVR_Ex is 64KiB, so there is no RAMPZ register. Therefore, the STK_UNIVERSAL+AVR_OP_LOAD_EXT_ADDR command is not required. It is sufficient to select the desired 32KiB bank with the FLMAP bit and use normal SD/LD instructions.

Working code can be found here.
