There is no way to add an end marker without using a new line (or use '\r' which is really unacceptable, and more justifiably so). Since we are settling in on having 50 (?probably want to use a #define) dots unless there are fewer than 50 units to be written, I suppose we can live without a end marker. Sigh, the end marker was the fun part.
I thought it safe to assume a terminal is 80 characters wide..(80 - strlen("Writing to Flash") - strlen("done")) == 60?
No, this is not a safe assumption. We have a couple of boards supported with QVGA displays. These usually show 12 x 40 characters only.
Just one example...
