: 
: asm("movw %1, %0": "=i(var2)": "i(var1)");
: 
: movw = 2 bytes, movb = 1 byte, movl = 4 bytes. There is also pushb,
: pushw, etc. 

Don't you mean:
asm("movw %1, %0": "=i" (var2): "i" (var1));

Mind the '(var[12])' outside the double quotes. I'm not an expert, but i
_have_ used it like this before. Or can it be used both ways?
