  44. * \section Sec_Description Project Description:
  45. *
  46. * This bootloader enumerates to the host as a Generic Text Only Printer device, capable of reading and parsing
  47. * "printed" plain-text Intel HEX files to load firmware onto the AVR.
  48. *
  49. * Out of the box this bootloader builds for the AT90USB1287 with an 8KB bootloader section size, and will fit
  50. * into 4KB of bootloader space. If you wish to alter this size and/or change the AVR model, you will need to
  51. * edit the MCU, FLASH_SIZE_KB and BOOT_SECTION_SIZE_KB values in the accompanying makefile.
  52. *
  53. * When the bootloader is running, the board's LED(s) will flash at regular intervals to distinguish the
  54. * bootloader from the normal user application.
  55. *
  56. * \section Sec_Running Running the Bootloader
  57. *
  58. * On the USB AVR8 devices, setting the \c HWBE device fuse will cause the bootloader to run if the \c HWB pin of
  59. * the AVR is grounded when the device is reset.
  60. *
  61. * The are two behaviours of this bootloader, depending on the device's fuses:
  62. *
  63. * <b>If the device's BOOTRST fuse is set</b>, the bootloader will run any time the system is reset from
  64. * the external reset pin, unless no valid user application has been loaded. To initiate the bootloader, the
  65. * device's external reset pin should be grounded momentarily.
  66. *
  67. * <b>If the device's BOOTRST fuse is not set</b>, the bootloader will run only if initiated via a software
  68. * jump, or if the \c HWB pin was low during the last device reset (if the \c HWBE fuse is set).
  69. *
  70. * For board specific exceptions to the above, see below.
  71. *
  72. * \subsection SSec_XPLAIN Atmel Xplain Board
  73. * Ground the USB AVR JTAG's \c TCK pin to ground when powering on the board to start the bootloader. This assumes the
  74. * \c HWBE fuse is cleared and the \c BOOTRST fuse is set as the HWBE pin is not user accessible on this board.
  75. *
  76. * \subsection SSec_Leonardo Arduino Leonardo Board
  77. * Ground \c IO13 when powering the board to start the bootloader. This assumes the \c HWBE fuse is cleared and the
  78. * \c BOOTRST fuse is set as the HWBE pin is not user accessible on this board.
  79. *
  80. * \section Sec_Installation Driver Installation
  81. *
  82. * This bootloader uses the Generic Text-Only printer drivers inbuilt into all modern operating systems, thus no
  83. * additional drivers need to be supplied for correct operation.
  84. *
  85. * \section Sec_HostApp Host Controller Application
  86. *
  87. * This bootloader is compatible with Notepad under Windows, and the command line \c lpr utility under Linux.
  88. *
  89. * \subsection SSec_Notepad Notepad (Windows)
  90. *
  91. * While most text applications under Windows will be compatible with the bootloader, the inbuilt Notepad utility
  92. * is recommended as it will introduce minimal formatting changes to the output stream. To program with Notepad,
  93. * open the target HEX file and print it to the Generic Text Only printer device the bootloader creates.
  94. *
  95. * \subsection SSec_LPR LPR (Linux)
  96. *
  97. * While the CUPS framework under Linux will enumerate the bootloader as a Generic Text-Only printer, many
  98. * applications will refuse to print to the device due to the lack of rich formatting options available. As a result,
  99. * under Linux HEX files must be printed via the low level \c lpr utility instead.
  100. *
  101. * \code
  102. * cat Mouse.hex | lpr
  103. * \endcode
  104. *
  105. * \section Sec_API User Application API
  106. *
  107. * Several user application functions for FLASH and other special memory area manipulations are exposed by the bootloader,
  108. * allowing the user application to call into the bootloader at runtime to read and write FLASH data.
  109. *
  110. * By default, the bootloader API jump table is located 32 bytes from the end of the device's FLASH memory, and follows the
  111. * following layout:
  112. *
  113. * \code
  114. * #define BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_SIZE 32
  115. * #define BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_START ((FLASHEND + 1UL) - BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_SIZE)
  116. * #define BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(Index) (void*)((BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_START + (Index * 2)) / 2)
  117. *
  118. * void (*BootloaderAPI_ErasePage)(uint32_t Address) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(0);
  119. * void (*BootloaderAPI_WritePage)(uint32_t Address) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(1);
  120. * void (*BootloaderAPI_FillWord)(uint32_t Address, uint16_t Word) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(2);
  121. * uint8_t (*BootloaderAPI_ReadSignature)(uint16_t Address) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(3);
  122. * uint8_t (*BootloaderAPI_ReadFuse)(uint16_t Address) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(4);
  123. * uint8_t (*BootloaderAPI_ReadLock)(void) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(5);
  124. * void (*BootloaderAPI_WriteLock)(uint8_t LockBits) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(6);
  125. *
  126. * #define BOOTLOADER_MAGIC_SIGNATURE_START (BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_START + (BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_SIZE - 2))
  127. * #define BOOTLOADER_MAGIC_SIGNATURE 0xDCFB
  128. *
  129. * #define BOOTLOADER_CLASS_SIGNATURE_START (BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_START + (BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_SIZE - 4))
  130. * #define BOOTLOADER_PRINTER_SIGNATURE 0xDF20
  131. *
  132. * #define BOOTLOADER_ADDRESS_START (BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_START + (BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_SIZE - 8))
  133. * #define BOOTLOADER_ADDRESS_LENGTH 4
  134. * \endcode
  135. *
  136. * From the application the API support of the bootloader can be detected by reading the FLASH memory bytes located at address
  137. * \c BOOTLOADER_MAGIC_SIGNATURE_START and comparing them to the value \c BOOTLOADER_MAGIC_SIGNATURE. The class of bootloader
  138. * can be determined by reading the FLASH memory bytes located at address \c BOOTLOADER_CLASS_SIGNATURE_START and comparing them
  139. * to the value \c BOOTLOADER_PRINTER_SIGNATURE. The start address of the bootloader can be retrieved by reading the bytes of FLASH
  140. * memory starting from address \c BOOTLOADER_ADDRESS_START.
  141. *
  142. * \subsection SSec_API_MemLayout Device Memory Map
  143. * The following illustration indicates the final memory map of the device when loaded with the bootloader.

  181. * \section Sec_KnownIssues Known Issues:
  182. *
  183. * \par On Linux machines, new firmware fails to be sent to the device via CUPS.
  184. * Only a limited subset of normal printer functionality is exposed via the
  185. * bootloader, causing CUPS to reject print requests from applications that
  186. * are unable to handle true plain-text printing. For best results, the low
  187. * level \c lpr command should be used to print new firmware to the bootloader.
  188. *
