Add USERROW read/write functionality about cupdi HOT 2 CLOSED

I found out that reading/writing the USERROW is possible using normal read/write (-r/-w) arguments, but the chip must be in programming mode in order for the read/write to succeed.

ie. ./cupdi -c /dev/ttyUSB0 -d tiny3217 -v 6 -u --read="1300:64"

I missed this part in the datasheet:

Section 6.6 User Row: The CPU can write and read this memory as normal EEPROM and the UPDI can write and read it as a normal EEPROM memory if the part is unlocked.

The user row is dumped successfully when using --dump because nvm_enter_progmode is called implicitly. Tests below:

GDB invoked with: gdb --args ./cupdi --dump -c /dev/ttyUSB0 -d tiny3217 -v 6 -f out.hex

Stepping through cupdi.c:

234         if (write || fuses || flag) {
(gdb) p flag
$1 = 256
(gdb) n  
235             result = nvm_enter_progmode(nvm_ptr);

I'm going to try to auto-enter progmode in the event that the user row region is read similar to the way --dump auto-enters progmode.

Hi, Thomas:
Yes, any action for UPDI accessing chip memory, it should execute the unlock operation first. After that
Userorw area could be read by address access directly, and written by the nvm_write_userrow() function call by nvm_write_auto() <= updi_program().

Of cause you could export the interface of nvm_read_userrow/nvm_write_userrow individually by yourselves.

Best Regards.
