  45  *  \section Sec_Description Project Description
  46  *
  47  *  Firmware for an Atmel Studio/AVR Studio compatible AVRISP-MKII clone programmer. This project will enable the USB
  48  *  AVR series of microcontrollers to act as a clone of the official Atmel AVRISP-MKII programmer, usable within
  49  *  Atmel Studio/AVR Studio or with any software capable of driving a real Atmel AVRISP-MKII programmer. In its most
  50  *  basic form, it allows for the programming of AVR TINY, MEGA and XMEGA devices aat the programmer's VCC voltage from
  51  *  within Atmel Studio/AVR Studio with no special hardware other than the USB AVR and the parts needed for the USB
  52  *  interface. If the user desires, more advanced circuits incorporating level conversion can be made to allow for the
  53  *  programming of target AVRs running at a different voltage to the programmer.
  54  *
  55  *  This device spoofs Atmel's official AVRISP-MKII device PID so that it remains compatible with Atmel's AVRISP-MKII
  56  *  drivers. When prompted, direct your OS to install Atmel's AVRISP-MKII drivers provided with Atmel Studio/AVR Studio.
  57  *
  58  *  Note that this design currently has the following limitations:
  59  *    - No reversed/shorted target connector detection and notification
  60  *    - A separate header is required for each of the ISP, PDI and TPI programming protocols that the user wishes to use
  61  *
  62  *  On AVR models with an ADC converter, the USB AVR's AVCC pin should be tied to 5V (e.g. VBUS) and the
  63  *  \c VTARGET_ADC_CHANNEL token should be set to an appropriate ADC channel number in the project makefile for VTARGET
  64  *  detection to operate correctly. On models without an ADC converter, VTARGET will report a fixed 3.3V level at all times
  65  *  which should allow the programmer to remain compatible at the protocol level with all AVR devices.
  66  *
  67  *  While this application can be compiled for USB AVRs with as little as 8KB of FLASH, for full functionality 16KB or more
  68  *  of FLASH is required. On 8KB devices, ISP or PDI/TPI protocol programming support can be disabled to reduce program size.
  69  *
  70  *  \section Sec_KnownIssues Known Issues:
  71  *
  72  *  \par Incompatible with newer AVRDUDE releases.
  73  *  Due to <a href="http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?40831">a change in 6.0.1 and never AVRDUDE releases</a>,
  74  *  these builds are incompatible with the AVRISP-MKII clone project. Use an older 5.x release until AVRDUDE is patched.
  75  *
  76  *  \par XMEGA EEPROM programming fails in some cases.
  77  *  Several users have reported that XMEGA EEPROM programming fails unless the chip is erased first. If a non-blank EEPROM
  78  *  is present, writing further EEPROM data causes corruption.
  79  *  <a href="https://github.com/abcminiuser/lufa/issues/25">LUFA issue tracker entry</a>.
  80  *
  81  *  \par Does not work with Atmel Studio 6.2 or newer in some cases.
  82  *  If the libUSB filter driver is used to bind both libUSB and Jungo drivers to the clone device at the same time, it will
  83  *  no longer work in Atmel Studio 6.2 and newer. This is due to a change in the latter; Atmel Studio now supports both
  84  *  drivers for various tools, but while the libUSB driver is given preference the inner workings of Atmel Studio cannot
  85  *  communicate with the AVR-ISP MKII with libUSB (this is true for the genuine tool also). Uninstall the filter driver and
  86  *  install only the standard libUSB driver, or Jungo driver. The \c RESET_TOGGLES_LIBUSB_COMPAT compile option (detailed
  87  *  below) is a suitable workaround to this issue.
  88  *
  89  *  \section Sec_Installation Installation
  90  *  The programmer supports multiple platforms, both Windows and Linux.
  91  *
  92  *  \subsection SSec_LinuxInstallation Linux Installation
  93  *  On Linux systems, the programmer should be usable out of the box with no special setup other than (on some systems)
  94  *  editing of the system permissions to allow the programmer to be used from a non-elevated (root) context. The programmer
  95  *  is compatible with the free open source AVRDude programming software project.
  96  *
  97  *  \subsection SSec_WindowsInstallation Windows Installation
  98  *  On Windows systems, due to an unfortunate limitation of the USB AVR devices and the driver used in the official AVR
  99  *  Studio/Atmel Studio platform, the programmer cannot be made compatible with AVRDude and AVR Studio/Atmel Studio at the
 100  *  same time. Instead, the programmer will be compatible with the official Atmel software by default, with a recompilation
 101  *  with the \c LIBUSB_DRIVER_COMPAT token (see \ref Sec_Options) being required to use the alternative libUSB driver
 102  *  compatibility mode that will allow the programmer to work under AVRDude on Windows.
 103  *
 104  *  If compiled for Atmel Studio/AVR Studio compatibility, install the Jungo device drivers that ship with the Atmel software.
 105  *  If compiled in the alternative libUSB compatibility mode for AVRDude use, install the libUSB drivers that are included
 106  *  with your compiled copy of AVRDude, or create them using the libUSB-Win32 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32)
 107  *  project.
 108  *
 109  *  For convenience, the programmer will report two different serial numbers depending on the firmware compatibility mode, so
 110  *  that the correct driver can be installed for the matching firmware. If the \c RESET_TOGGLES_LIBUSB_COMPAT compile option
 111  *  is used (see \ref Sec_Options) this allows for an easy way to automatically switch device drivers along with the firmware
 112  *  compatibility mode. The serials are:
