+ * Firmware for an Atmel Studio compatible AVRISP-MKII clone programmer. This project will enable the USB
* AVR series of microcontrollers to act as a clone of the official Atmel AVRISP-MKII programmer, usable within
- * Atmel Studio/AVRStudio or with any software capable of driving a real Atmel AVRISP-MKII programmer. In its most
- * basic form, it allows for the programming of AVRs at the programmer's VCC voltage from within Atmel Studio/AVRStudio
- * with no special hardware other than the USB AVR and the parts needed for the USB interface. If the user desires, more
- * advanced circuits incorporating level conversion can be made to allow for the programming of 3.3V AVR designs.

* This device spoofs Atmel's official AVRISP-MKII device PID so that it remains compatible with Atmel's AVRISP-MKII
- * drivers. When prompted, direct your OS to install Atmel's AVRISP-MKII drivers provided with Atmel Studio/AVRStudio.
+ * drivers. It is currently tested working under the following configurations:
+ *
+ * - <b>Windows:</b> Atmel Studio 7, with alternative driver
+ * - <b>Windows:</b> AVRDUDE 6.2, with alternative driver
+ * - <b>Linux:</b> AVRDUDE 6.1
+ *
+ * <b>Note that this clone requires a libUSB based driver under Windows,</b> due to an incompatible change in the official
+ * Jungo based driver. The alternative driver given here will function with both real and clone AVRISP devices in Atmel
+ * Studio 7 onwards under Windows - and as a bonus, also provides AVRDude access to the programmer.
+ *
+ * As of Atmel Studio version 7.0.1417 the legacy Jungo driver has been deprecated in favor of an official libUSB based
+ * driver, making the driver packaged here superfluous. Use the driver packaged here only if you are still using an earlier
+ * Atmel Studio 7 build, otherwise the official Atmel libUSB driver should be used.
*
* Note that this design currently has the following limitations:
* - No reversed/shorted target connector detection and notification
* - A separate header is required for each of the ISP, PDI and TPI programming protocols that the user wishes to use
*
- * On AVR models with an ADC converter, AVCC should be tied to 5V (e.g. VBUS) and the \c VTARGET_ADC_CHANNEL token should be
- * set to an appropriate ADC channel number in the project makefile for VTARGET detection to operate correctly. On models
- * without an ADC converter, VTARGET will report a fixed 3.3V level at all times.

*
* While this application can be compiled for USB AVRs with as little as 8KB of FLASH, for full functionality 16KB or more
- * of FLASH is required. On 8KB devices, ISP or PDI/TPI programming support can be disabled to reduce program size.

+ * \section Sec_Installation Installation
+ * The programmer supports multiple platforms, both Windows and Linux.
+ *
+ * \subsection SSec_LinuxInstallation Linux Installation
+ * On Linux systems, the programmer should be usable out of the box with no special setup other than (on some systems)
+ * editing of the system permissions to allow the programmer to be used from a non-elevated (root) context. The programmer
+ * is compatible with the free open source AVRDude programming software project.
+ *
+ * \subsection SSec_WindowsInstallation Windows Installation
+ * On Windows systems, due to an unfortunate limitation of the USB AVR devices and the Atmel Studio platform, the programmer
+ * requires an alternative libUSB based driver. Uninstall the existing Jungo driver for the device (if installed) and replace
+ * it with the driver that ships with this project, to enable access to the programmer in Atmel Studio and AVRDUDE.
