  *  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,

+ *  This bootloader is designed to be started via the \c HWB mechanism of the USB AVRs; ground the \c HWB pin (see device

+ *  \c 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
