If you wish to alter this size and/or change the AVR model, you will need to + * edit the MCU, FLASH_SIZE_KB and BOOT_SECTION_SIZE_KB 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. + * + * \warning <b>THIS BOOTLOADER IS NOT SECURE.</b> Malicious entities can recover written data, even if the device + * lockbits are set. + * + * \section Sec_Running Running the Bootloader + * + * On the USB AVR8 devices, setting the \c HWBE device fuse will cause the bootloader to run if the \c HWB pin of + * the AVR is grounded when the device is reset. + * + * The are two behaviours of this bootloader, depending on the device's fuses: + * + * <b>If the device's BOOTRST fuse is set</b>, the bootloader will run any time the system is reset from + * the external reset pin, unless no valid user application has been loaded. To initiate the bootloader, the + * device's external reset pin should be grounded momentarily. + * + * <b>If the device's BOOTRST fuse is not set</b>, the bootloader will run only if initiated via a software + * jump, or if the \c HWB pin was low during the last device reset (if the \c HWBE fuse is set). + * + * For board specific exceptions to the above, see below. + * + * \subsection SSec_XPLAIN Atmel Xplain Board + * Ground the USB AVR JTAG's \c TCK pin to ground when powering on the board to start the bootloader. This assumes the + * \c HWBE fuse is cleared and the \c BOOTRST fuse is set as the HWBE pin is not user accessible on this board. + * + * \subsection SSec_Leonardo Arduino Leonardo Board + * Ground \c IO13 when powering the board to start the bootloader. This assumes the \c HWBE fuse is cleared and the + * \c BOOTRST fuse is set as the HWBE pin is not user accessible on this board. + * + * \section Sec_Installation Driver Installation + * + * After running this bootloader for the first time on a new computer, you will need to supply the .INF + * file located in this bootloader project's directory as the device's driver when running under Windows. + * This will enable Windows to use its inbuilt CDC drivers, negating the need for custom drivers for the + * device. Other Operating Systems should automatically use their own inbuilt CDC-ACM drivers. + * + * \section Sec_HostApp Host Controller Application + * + * This bootloader is compatible with the open source application AVRDUDE, Atmel's AVRPROG, or other + * applications implementing the AVR109 protocol, which is documented on the Atmel website as an application + * note. + * + * \subsection SSec_AVRDude AVRDUDE (Windows, Mac, Linux) + * + * AVRDude is a free, cross-platform and open source command line programmer for Atmel and third party AVR + * programmers. It is available on the the Windows platform as part of the "WinAVR" package, or on other systems + * either from a build from the official source code, or in many distributions as a precompiled binary package. + * + * To load a new HEX file with AVRDude, specify "AVR109" as the programmer, with the allocated COM port. On Windows + * platforms this will be a COMx port name: + * \code + * avrdude -c AVR109 -p at90usb1287 -P COM0 -U flash:w:Mouse.hex + * \endcode + * + * On Linux systems, this will typically be a /dev/ttyACMx port name: + * \code + * avrdude -c AVR109 -p at90usb1287 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -U flash:w:Mouse.hex + * \endcode + * + * Refer to the AVRDude project documentation for additional usage instructions. + * + * \section Sec_API User Application API + * + * Several user application functions for FLASH and other special memory area manipulations are exposed by the bootloader, + * allowing the user application to call into the bootloader at runtime to read and write FLASH data. + * + * By default, the bootloader API jump table is located 32 bytes from the end of the device's FLASH memory, and follows the + * following layout: + * + * \code + * #define BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_SIZE 32 + * #define BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_START ((FLASHEND + 1UL) - BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_SIZE) + * #define BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(Index) (void*)((BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_START + (Index * 2)) / 2) + * + * void (*BootloaderAPI_ErasePage)(uint32_t Address) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(0); + * void (*BootloaderAPI_WritePage)(uint32_t Address) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(1); + * void (*BootloaderAPI_FillWord)(uint32_t Address, uint16_t Word) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(2); + * uint8_t (*BootloaderAPI_ReadSignature)(uint16_t Address) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(3); + * uint8_t (*BootloaderAPI_ReadFuse)(uint16_t Address) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(4); + * uint8_t (*BootloaderAPI_ReadLock)(void) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(5); + * void (*BootloaderAPI_WriteLock)(uint8_t LockBits) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(6); + * + * #define BOOTLOADER_MAGIC_SIGNATURE_START (BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_START + (BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_SIZE - 2)) + * #define BOOTLOADER_MAGIC_SIGNATURE 0xDCFB + * + * #define BOOTLOADER_CLASS_SIGNATURE_START (BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_START + (BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_SIZE - 4)) + * #define BOOTLOADER_CDC_SIGNATURE 0xDF00 + * + * #define BOOTLOADER_ADDRESS_START (BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_START + (BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_SIZE - 8)) + * #define BOOTLOADER_ADDRESS_LENGTH 4 + * \endcode + * + * From the application the API support of the bootloader can be detected by reading the FLASH memory bytes located at address + * \c BOOTLOADER_MAGIC_SIGNATURE_START and comparing them to the value \c BOOTLOADER_MAGIC_SIGNATURE. The class of bootloader + * can be determined by reading the FLASH memory bytes located at address \c BOOTLOADER_CLASS_SIGNATURE_START and comparing them + * to the value \c BOOTLOADER_CDC_SIGNATURE.
