*
* \section Sec_Compat Demo Compatibility:
*
* The following list indicates what microcontrollers are compatible with this demo.
*
* - Series 7 USB AVRs (AT90USBxxx7)

*
*
* \section Sec_Description Project Description:
*
* This bootloader enumerates to the host as a DFU Class device, allowing for DFU-compatible programming
* software to load firmware onto the AVR.
*
* Out of the box this bootloader builds for the USB1287, and should fit into 4KB of bootloader space. If
* you wish to enlarge this space and/or change the AVR model, you will need to edit the BOOT_START and MCU
* values in the accompanying makefile.
*
* When the bootloader is running, the board's LED(s) will flash at regular intervals to distinguish the
* bootloader from the normal user application.
*
* \section Sec_Installation Driver Installation
*
* This bootloader is designed to be compatible with Atmel's provided Windows DFU class drivers. You will need to
* install Atmel's DFU drivers prior to using this bootloader on Windows platforms. If you are using a 64 bit Windows
* OS, you will need to either disable the driver signing requirement (see online tutorials for details) or use a
* digitally signed version of the official Atmel driver provided by a third party AVR user at
* http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?module=Freaks%20Academy&func=viewItem&item_id=2196&item_type=project.
*
* \note This device spoofs Atmel's DFU Bootloader USB VID and PID so that the Atmel DFU bootloader
* drivers included with FLIP will work. If you do not wish to use Atmel's ID codes, please
* manually change them in Descriptors.c and alter your driver's INF file accordingly.
*
* \section Sec_HostApp Host Controller Application
*
* This bootloader is compatible with Atmel's FLIP utility on Windows machines, and dfu-programmer on Linux machines.
*
* \subsection SSec_FLIP FLIP (Windows)
*
* FLIP (Flexible In-System Programmer) is a utility written by Atmel, and distributed for free on the Atmel website.
* The FLIP utility is designed to assist in the bootloader programming of a range of Atmel devices, through several
* popular physical interfaces including USB. It is written in Java, however makes use of native extensions for USB
* support and thus is only offered on Windows.
*
* To program a device using FLIP, refer to the Atmel FLIP documentation.
*
* \subsection SSec_DFUProgrammer dfu-programmer (Linux)
*
* dfu-programmer is an open-source command line solution for the bootloader programming of Atmel devices through a
* USB connection, using the DFU protocol, available for download at http://sourceforge.net/projects/dfu-programmer/.
*
* The following example loads a HEX file into the AVR's FLASH memory using dfu-programmer:
* \code
* dfu-programmer at90usb1287 erase flash Mouse.hex
* \endcode
*
* \section Sec_Options Project Options
*
* The following defines can be found in this demo, which can control the demo behaviour when defined, or changed in value.
*
*
*
* Define Name: |
* Location: |
* Description: |
*
*
* SECURE_MODE |
* BootloaderDFU.h |
* If defined to true, the bootloader will not accept any memory commands other than a chip erase on start-up, until an
* erase has been performed. This can be used in conjunction with the AVR's lockbits to prevent the AVRs firmware from
* being dumped by unauthorized persons. |
