That's OK, my LED is already blinking!

I dorked around with GCC on Linux for a while, but couldn't get
motivated to sort out crt0 and linker scripts and so on.  So I wasted
some more time with WinAVR, hoping that that would give me a binary
quicker.  No dice, for some reason, I can't even #include <avr/io.h>.
So I went back to Linux, put an asm("jmp main") at the beginning of my
program, compiled, linked it bare and dumped the binary.  Then I
hardcoded the object bytes into an array in my ARM program and fired it
off to write to the Dorkboard.  I wasn't sure whether it was big-endian
or little-endian, but I must have had some good karma saved up, because
whichever it is, I got it right the first time.

Yee haw!
