If it gets to 0x0000 and there's a JMP there then how could it possibly fail to execute it? Are you saying that if you single step the JMP it doesn't then jump over the vector table to the start of the C pre-amble. That surely could only occur if the JMP was actually a "JMP 0x0000" so just keeps jumping back to itself? So what is the offset of the JMP shown in the disassembler?

Code:

124:               asm("jmp 0"::);

+000104FA:   940C0000    JMP       0x00000000     Jump

That is what the disassembler shows. It jumps to that address. It follows all the commands in the vector and C pre-amble commands. What I am saying is that my program doesn't start running, unless I do a manual reset.

It sounds you didn't bring the I/O registers to default state.

Why you don't use software reset instead ?

I found out the problem. My bootloader is using interrupts and I forgot that I had to move the ISRs to the boot section, so I had to move them back to the application section before I could use them in my program in application section.

I try to write bootloader to xmega128, but i don't konw how to restore default I/O setings.
I can enter to bootloder and exit using 'asm ("jmp 0");' but after this all I/O have some value (last value from bootloder aplication) it's normal? Please tell me, when bootloader will make jump to aplication section i must do something more than 'asm ("jmp 0");' ?

You force a watchdog reset and then when it restarts you recognize that the reset reason was watchdog and then enter the app (this is complicated a little further if the app itself may use the watchdog!). This, amongst many things is explained in the bootloader FAQ in the Tutorial Forum.

(BTW why did you hijack an xmega thread - your question has nothing to do with xmega. If you were determined to hijack a thread then why not at least pick one that mentioned both "bootloader" and "atmega128"? (rhetorical))
