Excellent, that was the idea behind the patch, to enable these
devices. Thanks for testing.

Yes, the patch I sent to David has some funk as objcopy to ihex seems
to have some trailing white space. I sent a new patch to him without
the ihex file though.

They work, they won't work for the AVM device though.

Agreed, but as I sent the patch in we *require* the 1-stage firmware
for the AVM devices, if that is not present we should be bailing out.
Is that not what happens?
