* * \section SSec_Description Project Description: * * This bootloader enumerates to the host as a HID Class device, allowing for device FLASH programming through * the supplied command line software, which is a modified version of Paul's TeensyHID Command Line loader code * from PJRC (used with permission). This bootloader is deliberately non-compatible with the proprietary PJRC * HalfKay bootloader GUI; only the command line interface software accompanying this bootloader will work with it. * * Out of the box this bootloader builds for the AT90USB1287 with an 8KB bootloader section size, and will fit * into 2KB of bootloader space for the Series 2 USB AVRs (ATMEGAxxU2, AT90USBxx2) or 4KB of bootloader space for * all other models. 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. * * \warning THIS BOOTLOADER IS NOT SECURE. Malicious entities can recover written data, even if the device * lockbits are set. * * \section Sec_Running Running the Bootloader * * This bootloader is designed to be started via the HWB mechanism of the USB AVRs; ground the HWB pin (see device * datasheet) then momentarily ground /RESET to start the bootloader. This assumes the HWBE fuse is set and the BOOTRST * fuse is cleared. * * \section Sec_Installation Driver Installation * * This bootloader uses the HID class driver inbuilt into all modern operating systems, thus no additional drivers * need to be supplied for correct operation. * * \section Sec_HostApp Host Controller Application * * Due to licensing issues, the supplied bootloader is compatible with the HalfKay bootloader protocol designed * by PJRC, but is non-compatible with the cross-platform loader GUI. A modified version of the open source * cross-platform TeensyLoader application is supplied, which can be compiled under most operating systems. The * command-line loader application should remain compatible with genuine Teensy boards in addition to boards using * this custom bootloader. * * Once compiled, programs can be loaded into the AVR's FLASH memory through the following example command: * \code * hid_bootloader_cli -mmcu=at90usb1287 Mouse.hex * \endcode * * \section Sec_KnownIssues Known Issues: * * \par After loading an application, it is not run automatically on startup. * Some USB AVR boards ship with the BOOTRST fuse set, causing the bootloader * to run automatically when the device is reset. In most cases, the BOOTRST * fuse should be disabled and the HWBE fuse used instead to run the bootloader * when needed. * * \section SSec_Options Project Options * * The following defines can be found in this demo, which can control the demo behaviour when defined, or changed in value. * * * * * *
* None *
