Everytime I debug my XMEGA project, I get a message:
"The device's EESAVE fuse is currently programmed, but the project settings does not specify that EEPROM should be preserved. Would you like to preserve the device's EEPROM during programming?"

I hit yes, then I get this message:
"The object file indicates initialized EEPROM data. Do you want to load this data?"

I want to skip both theses messages. How do I set the fuses in the project settings? I tried setting the fuses in the source code:

FUSES = {
    .byte[5] = FUSE_EESAVE,
};

And didn't work, by the way, is that the correct way of setting the fuses in the code?

Thanks.

In the JTAG options. At least that's the case with other AVRs.

Are you referring to this window?

I tried unchecking the "Enable fuse warnings", no difference.
I tried checking the "Program EEPROM", no difference.

How do I set the fuses in the code?

No that's the programming window, it has nothing to do with debug. You need to start a debug session then go to Debug > JTAG MK2 options

Ok!, I found it. I checked on "Preserve EEPROM contents when reprogramming" chekcbox. That took care of the first warning. I am still getting the second warning:

Well you are 50% there. :) May have to live with that, I haven't played with the Xmega that much yet.

I would guess that if you don't declare initale values for any of your eeprom data in your code then the second warning is likely to go...

Well, but I need the EEPROM with initialized data. You may say that if I want to preserve the EEPROM then the data is already initialized. But I need to have the default EEPROM values present in the source code.

Fetch them on initialization.
