#142621 - extra jump and enough power
Responding to: ???'s previous message

I'll have to think on that one, my ISRs need be pretty fast and an additional ljmp may be a problem.

I don't believe this is really an issue.

I somehow don't quite believe your fast ISR's are squeezed into the 8-byte slot in the "interrupt table", so you do have that ljmp there anyway - and if I am wrong and the application requires to have that max-8-byte-ISR, you have already given considerable thought to it -> it's not likely it will change ever.

And, based on the fact that you generously give away 16kB for the bootloader, I don't believe you cannot reserve enough space after a fixed address to support any thinkable future expansion of the ISRs.

if I could guarantee power on, this issue would be moot.

It would be really an extreme situation if you couldn't squeeze in a diode, cap, voltage regulator and a means to monitor the power before the regulator (or before the diode)...
