* \section SSec_Description Project Description:
*
* This bootloader enumerates to the host as a HID Class device, allowing for device FLASH programming through
* the supplied command line software, which is a modified version of Paul's TeensyHID Command Line loader code
* from PJRC (used with permission). This bootloader is deliberately non-compatible with the proprietary PJRC
* HalfKay bootloader GUI; only the command line interface software accompanying this bootloader will work with it.
*
* 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,
* FLASH_SIZE_KB and BOOT_SECTION_SIZE_KB values in the accompanying makefile.
*
* \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
*
* This bootloader is designed to be started via the \c HWB mechanism of the USB AVRs; ground the \c HWB pin (see device
* datasheet) then momentarily ground \c /RESET to start the bootloader. This assumes the \c HWBE fuse is set and the
* \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
* need to be supplied for correct operation.
*
* \section Sec_HostApp Host Controller Application
*
* Due to licensing issues, the supplied bootloader is compatible with the HalfKay bootloader protocol designed
* by PJRC, but is <b>not compatible with the cross-platform loader GUI</b>. A modified version of the open source
* cross-platform TeensyLoader application is supplied, which can be compiled under most operating systems. The
* command-line loader application should remain compatible with genuine Teensy boards in addition to boards using
* this custom bootloader.
*
* Once compiled, programs can be loaded into the AVR's FLASH memory through the following example command:
* \code
* hid_bootloader_cli -mmcu=at90usb1287 Mouse.hex
* \endcode
*
* \section Sec_KnownIssues Known Issues:
*
* \par After loading an application, it is not run automatically on startup.
* Some USB AVR boards ship with the \c BOOTRST fuse set, causing the bootloader
* to run automatically when the device is reset. This booloader requires the
* \c BOOTRST be disabled and the HWBE fuse used instead to run the bootloader
* when needed.
*
* \section SSec_Options Project Options

* The following defines can be found in this demo, which can control the demo behaviour when defined, or changed in value.
