/** \page Page_ConfiguringApps Configuring the Demos, Bootloaders and Projects
*
* If the target microcontroller model, architecture, clock speed, board or other settings are different from the current
* settings, they must be changed and the project recompiled from the source code before being programmed into the microcontroller.
* Most project configuration options are located in the "makefile" build script inside each LUFA application's folder, however
* some demo or application-specific configuration settings (such as the output format in the AudioOut demo) are located in one or
* more of the source files of the project. See each project's individual documentation for application-specific configuration
* values.
*
* Each project "makefile" contains all the script and configuration data required to compile each project. When opened with
* any regular basic text editor such as Notepad or WordPad (ensure that the save format is a pure ASCII text format) the
* build configuration settings may be altered.
*
* Inside each makefile, a number of configuration variables are located, with the format "<VARIABLE NAME> = <VALUE>". For
* each application, the important variables which should be altered are:
*
* - <b>MCU</b>, the target processor model
* - <b>ARCH</b>, the target microcontroller architecture
* - <b>BOARD</b>, the target board hardware
* - <b>F_CPU</b>, the target CPU master clock frequency, after any prescaling
* - <b>F_USB</b>, the target raw input clock to the USB module of the processor
* - <b>CDEFS</b>, the C preprocessor defines which configure options the source code
* - <b>LUFA_PATH</b>, the path to the LUFA library source code
* - <b>LUFA_OPTS</b>, the compile time LUFA options which configure the library features
*
* These values should be changed to reflect the build hardware.
*
* \section Sec_MCU The MCU Parameter
* This parameter indicates the target microcontroller model for the compiled application. This should be set to the model of the target
* microcontroller (such as the AT90USB1287, or the ATMEGA32U4), in all lower-case (e.g. "at90usb1287"). Note that not all demos support all the
* microcontroller models and architectures, as they may make use of peripherals or modes only present in some devices.
*
* For supported processor models, see \ref Page_DeviceSupport.
*
* \section Sec_ARCH The ARCH Parameter
* This parameter indicates the target microcontroller architecture the library is to be compiled for. Different microcontroller
* architectures require different source files to be compiled into the final binary, and so this option must be set to the correct
* architecture for the selected platform.
*
* For supported processor architectures, see \ref Page_DeviceSupport.
*
* \section Sec_BOARD The BOARD Parameter
* This parameter indicates the target board hardware for the compiled application. Some LUFA library drivers are board-specific,
* such as the LED driver, and the library needs to know the layout of the target board. If you are using one of the board models listed
* on the main library page, change this parameter to the board name in all UPPER-case.
*
* If you are not using any board-specific drivers in the LUFA library, or you are using a custom board layout, change this to read
* "USER" (no quotes) instead of a standard board name. If the USER board type is selected and the application makes use of one or more
* board-specific hardware drivers inside the LUFA library, then the appropriate stub drives files should be copied from the /BoardStubs/
* directory into a /Board/ folder inside the application directory, and the stub driver completed with the appropriate code to drive the
* custom board's hardware.
*
* For boards with built in hardware driver support within the LUFA library, see \ref Page_DeviceSupport.
*
* \section Sec_F_CPU The F_CPU Parameter
* This parameter indicates the target microcontroller's main CPU clock frequency, in Hz. This is used by many libraries (and applications) for
* timing related purposes, and should reflect the actual CPU speed after any prescaling or adjustments are performed.
*
* \section Sec_F_USB The F_USB Parameter
* This parameter indicates the raw input clock frequency to the USB module within the microcontroller in Hz. This may be very different on some platforms
* to the main CPU clock or other peripheral/bus clocks.
*
* \section Sec_CDEFS The CDEFS Parameter
* Many applications have features which can be controlled by the defining of specially named preprocessor tokens at the point of compilation - for example,
* an application might use a compile time token to turn on or off optional or mutually exclusive portions of code. Preprocessor tokens can be
* defined here by listing each one with the -D command line switch, and each token can optionally be defined to a specific value. When defined in the
* project makefile, these behave as if they were defined in every source file via a normal preprocessor define statement.
*
* Most applications will actually have multiple CDEF lines, which are concatenated together with the "+=" operator. This ensures that large
* numbers of configuration options remain readable by splitting up groups of options into separate lines.
*
* \section Sec_LUFA_PATH The LUFA_PATH Parameter
* As each LUFA program requires the LUFA library source code to compile correctly, the application must know where the LUFA library is located. This
* value specifies the path to the LUFA library base relative to the path of the project makefile.
*
* \section Sec_LUFA_OPTS The LUFA_OPTS Parameter
* This value is similar to the CDEFS parameter listed elsewhere -- indeed, it is simply a convenient place to group LUFA related tokens away from the
* application's compile time tokens. Normally, these options do not need to be altered to allow an application to compile and run correctly on a
* different board or microcontroller to the current configuration - if the options are incorrect, then the demo is most likely incompatible with the chosen
* microcontroller model and cannot be made to function through the altering of the makefile settings alone (or at all). Settings such as the USB mode
* (device, host or both), the USB interface speed and other LUFA configuration options can be set here - see \ref Page_TokenSummary documentation for details
* on the available LUFA compile time configuration options.
