A Few Questions [solved] - TheBFG - 2011-02-25

I have now finished adding the bootloader to my project. What a great piece of open source software!

I have one question concerning "Don't initialize data sections".

If I tick this option my project doesn't start correctly in standalone (no bootloader) mode. In bootloader mode the project functions correctly but without the benefit of automatic variable initialisation.

If I untick the option the project runs correctly in both standalone AND bootloader mode, and my variables are initialised which is great.

Why then do the instructions say to select the "Don't initialize data sections" option?

Thank you! Smile

The integration is optional (which is implied because it's a separate chapter after the usage chapter). I will probably remove it, if not I'll add a clarification.
