this week its been 100's of lines of narly arm/thumb patch code. (using a hardware circuit to trigger the patches in an internal mask bootrom). Up to patch#13 now. (x2 chips). Finally done I think. Now back to C.

About 20kbytes of code so I was told. The uP has an analogue block called a coulomb counter. There is also some non volatile storage to keep

some pressing factor like a fire.
