+ *
+ *  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_KnownIssues Known Issues:
+ *
+ *  \par On Linux machines, the CDC bootloader is unstable or inaccessible.
+ *  A change to the \c ModemManager module in many Linux distributions causes
+ *  this module to try to take control over inserted CDC devices, corrupting the
+ *  datastream. A UDEV rule is required to prevent this.
+ *  See <a href=https://groups.google.com/d/msg/lufa-support/CP9cy2bc8yo/kBqsOu-RBeMJ>here</a> for resolution steps.
+ *  If the issue still persists then uninstall modemmanager by executing <tt>sudo apt-get remove modemmanager</tt>, or
+ *  the equivalent using your chosen distribution's package manager.
+ *
+ *  \par On Linux machines, the CDC bootloader is inaccessible.
+ *  On many Linux systems, non-root users do not have automatic access to newly
+ *  inserted CDC devices. Root privileges or a UDEV rule is required to gain
+ *  access.
+ *  See <a href=https://groups.google.com/d/msg/lufa-support/CP9cy2bc8yo/kBqsOu-RBeMJ>here</a> for resolution steps.
