The avr-size.exe is not suit for avr mcu

avr-size does not need to know the MCU to show you the memory usage (omit the --mcu arg). If you want to get the usage as a percentage then the new correct way is to use avr-objdump
with the -Pmem-usage
argument: avr-objdump -Pmem-usage myproject.elf
which will output something like:
myproject.elf: file format elf32-avr
AVR Memory Usage
----------------
Device: attiny402
Program: 1934 bytes (47.2% Full)
(.text + .data + .bootloader)
Data: 16 bytes (6.2% Full)
(.data + .bss + .noinit)
This is because the MCU and available memory sizes are now embedded into the .elf file. See here - https://web.archive.org/web/20211026214736/https://www.avrfreaks.net/forum/where-does-avr-size-get-data-supported-devices

I see, thank you for reply.
Best regards.
Thanks!
I used your help to write a post-build event for Microchip Studio to get Memory Usage back: $(ToolchainDir)/avr-objdump -Pmem-usage "$(OutputDirectory)/$(OutputFileName)$(OutputFileExtension)"
