This is a feature request rather than a bug.

AVRDUDE currently does not support RC oscillator calibration as outlined in the AVR053 appnote.

I promised to handle that before releasing 5.2.

The part of the patch implementing the -O option has been
committed.

I still feel we should seek for a more general method to
transfer the result to an arbitrary location.

I just submitted a patch to allow avrdude to read and write at arbitrary memory locations. You simply specify a block length (in bytes) followed by the byte offset in the hex file then finally the byte offset in flash or eeprom.

Here's a command line example:

avrdude -cstk500v2 -B4 -pm16 -P/dev/ttyS0 -v -e -Uflash:w:main.hex:i,10,0,6

this will write 10 bytes from byte offset 0 in main.hex to byte offset 6 in flash

values can be in decimal or hex, and all are optional (will default to zero). Values must be multiples of two since the AVR memory is arranged in 16-bit words.

I forgot to mention how my last patch is useful. It can be used for RC oscillator calibration by first reading the AVRs EEPROM to a temporary file, then you can write it back to the AVR in an arbitrary location in the flash or EEPROM.

It can also be used to store configuration constants in flash, which is my latest interest since I have been having a lot of trouble lately with EEPROM corruption, and yes, I am using the brown-out detector in my application! :oP

Not long after submitting my patch I discovered a nasty mistake in my code. Here's patch #3

Hi,
the documentation states JTAG ICE mkII is supported for calibration, but it is not.
According to the AVR067, the programmer has to issue a  CMND_ISP_PACKET containing the ISP CMD_OSCCAL.
A quick fix is to change the manual page. A nice thing would be to add the support.
Regards,
Charles

Since -O has been implemented, the enhancement porting has been done. So the only remaining issue is with JTAGICE mkii calibration, I will remove the enhancement label now.

Given that this issue has been there for so long and JTAG ICE mkII has been obsolete for quite some time, I am going to cloe this one. We can always re-open if PR is raised.
