#95108 - a small problem with this that many have
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I want to do this so a boot-loader and a application can both use a the same serial number store in code space ie flash.

a small problem with this that many have found is that such a scenario (serial number in codespace) makes program updates a REAL nightmare. This has been tried and found wanting by ever so many. You will need to make a new .hex file for every darn unit out there and I will guarantee you that after your first round of updates you will have serial number mismatches.

What I use is to include a Dallas DS2411 and record the number.
