- * 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.
+ * 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 not 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.
+ *
+ * <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.
