This is great, and nice write up. Seems like it could be super useful for production programming.
There’s a kind of similar thing for Windows. It looks for the bootloader drive, then automatically copies the firmware from the build folder.
I accompanied it with button.scr on the Bus Pirate that jumps to bootloader when the button is pressed. The work flow is something like this:
- Compile firmware
- Press button to jump to bootloader
- The script sees the bootloader and copies the firmware
Super convenient, but I don’t use it very often.
Edit: forgot the link.
