When using the CodevisionAVR C compiler, NOP fills can be implemented easily. The chip programmer offers the feature of editing the program flash and EEPROM to fill it with a specific value. Using an Atmel ATmega16, no jump to reset address 0x00 needs to be implemented, as the overflow of the instruction pointer automatically sets its value to 0x00. Unfortunately, resets due to overflow are not equivalent to intentional reset. During the intended reset, all necessary MC registers are reset by hardware, which is not done by a jump to 0x00. So this method will not be applied in the following tests.
