Can any one please help me regarding Atmega8 Flash size.I dont know that the
size of flash 8Kb is the amount we can burn the *.hex file or it is memory size
of variables that we have used in our code?For e.g if i burned a hex file of
size 1 Kb,then it will occupy space of 1 Kb in flash?Secondly my code of 1 Kb
have varibles of total size 100 bytes,then flash will be out with 100byte
memory?
Tell me which case is true or if there is any other way of memory
allocation,then do let me know about that ishall be highly obliged.I'm new
to Atmega8.

These have Flash, EEPRom, and RAM; Flash usually is Program memory and static
data of some kind, EEPRom usually is static data of some kind, your variables
would go into RAM. Flash and EEProm have a limited number of erase/write cycles,
but are non volatile, so a lookup table would fit well into those, or a
calibration constant for a thermistor (just examples there) - An array index /
counter or the like, you'd use RAM for. Hope that helps!

Respected Mark
Thanks for for help.So you wanna say that program we burn to MCU not only resides in flash but also in EEPROM and RAM.Now for e.g if size of my .hex file exceeds the size of flash,then what will happen?Will it be partially burned or will not burn at all?If any one of the above happen how should we figure it out?

8 Kb flash means it is flash memory capacity = 8192 bytes ( in mega8, 16 bit
memory structure so in the mega8, 4096 X 16 bit flash memory). EEPROM and SRAM
having separate space, so if you want to store additional 100 byte, you can use
SRAM or EEPROM, flash area will not occupy this additional 100 byte memory.
