* \section Sec_Info USB Information:
*
* 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
*
* This bootloader uses the Mass Storage drivers inbuilt into all modern operating systems, thus no additional
* remove your device from the host using the host OS's ejection APIs, to ensure all data is correctly flushed to the
* bootloader's virtual filesystem and not cached in the OS's file system driver.
*
- * The current device firmware can be read from the device by reading a file from the virtual FAT filesystem.
+ * The current device firmware can be read from the device by reading a file from the virtual FAT filesystem. Two files will
+ * be present:
+ * - <b>FLASH.BIN</b>, representing the AVR's internal flash memory
+ * - <b>EEPROM.BIN</b>, representing the AVR's internal EEPROM memory
+ *
+ * To convert an existing Intel HEX (.HEX) program file to a binary (.BIN) file suitable for this bootloader, run:
+ * \code
+ * avr-objcopy -O binary -R .eeprom -R .fuse -R .lock -R .signature input.hex output.bin
+ * \endcode
+ * From a terminal, replacing <tt>input.hex</tt> and <tt>output.bin</tt> with the respective input and output filenames.
+ * AVR EEPROM data files in Intel HEX format (.EEP) uses a similar technique:
+ * \code
+ * avr-objcopy -O binary input.eep output.bin
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * \warning This bootloader is currently <b>incompatible with the Apple MacOS X OS Finder GUI</b>, due to the
+ * large amount of meta files this OS attempts to write to the disk along with the new binaries. On
+ * this platform, firmwares must be copied to the disk via the Terminal application only to prevent
+ * firmware corruption.
*
* \section Sec_API User Application API
*
* Mass Storage bootloader, or the file system synced via an appropriate command
* (such as the OS's normal disk ejection command) before disconnecting the device.
*
- * \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 Sec_Options Project Options
*
* The following defines can be found in this demo, which can control the demo behaviour when defined, or changed in value.
