+ * \section Sec_Description Project Description:
+ *
+ * This bootloader enumerates to the host as a Generic Text Only Printer device, capable of reading and parsing
+ * "printed" plain-text Intel HEX files to load firmware onto the AVR.
+ *
+ * Out of the box this bootloader builds for the AT90USB1287 with an 8KB bootloader section size, and will fit
+ * into 4KB of bootloader space. 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.
+ *
+ * When the bootloader is running, the board's LED(s) will flash at regular intervals to distinguish the
+ * bootloader from the normal user application.
+ *
+ * \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 Generic Text-Only printer drivers inbuilt into all modern operating systems, thus no
+ * additional drivers need to be supplied for correct operation.
+ *
+ * \section Sec_HostApp Host Controller Application
+ *
+ * This bootloader is compatible with Notepad under Windows, and the command line \c lpr utility under Linux.
+ *
+ * \subsection SSec_Notepad Notepad (Windows)
+ *
+ * While most text applications under Windows will be compatible with the bootloader, the inbuilt Notepad utility
+ * is recommended as it will introduce minimal formatting changes to the output stream. To program with Notepad,
+ * open the target HEX file and print it to the Generic Text Only printer device the bootloader creates.
+ *
+ * \subsection SSec_LPR LPR (Linux)
+ *
+ * While the CUPS framework under Linux will enumerate the bootloader as a Generic Text-Only printer, many
+ * applications will refuse to print to the device due to the lack of rich formatting options available. As a result,
+ * under Linux HEX files must be printed via the low level \c lpr utility instead.
+ *
+ * \code
+ * cat Mouse.hex | lpr
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * \section Sec_API User Application API
+ *
+ * Several user application functions for FLASH and other special memory area manipulations are exposed by the bootloader,
+ * allowing the user application to call into the bootloader at runtime to read and write FLASH data.
+ *
+ * By default, the bootloader API jump table is located 32 bytes from the end of the device's FLASH memory, and follows the
+ * following layout:
+ *
+ * \code
+ * #define BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_SIZE 32
+ * #define BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_START ((FLASHEND + 1UL) - BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_SIZE)
+ * #define BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(Index) (void*)((BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_START + (Index * 2)) / 2)
+ *
+ * void (*BootloaderAPI_ErasePage)(uint32_t Address) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(0);
+ * void (*BootloaderAPI_WritePage)(uint32_t Address) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(1);
+ * void (*BootloaderAPI_FillWord)(uint32_t Address, uint16_t Word) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(2);
+ * uint8_t (*BootloaderAPI_ReadSignature)(uint16_t Address) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(3);
+ * uint8_t (*BootloaderAPI_ReadFuse)(uint16_t Address) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(4);
+ * uint8_t (*BootloaderAPI_ReadLock)(void) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(5);
+ * void (*BootloaderAPI_WriteLock)(uint8_t LockBits) = BOOTLOADER_API_CALL(6);
+ *
+ * #define BOOTLOADER_MAGIC_SIGNATURE_START (BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_START + (BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_SIZE - 2))
+ * #define BOOTLOADER_MAGIC_SIGNATURE 0xDCFB
+ *
+ * #define BOOTLOADER_CLASS_SIGNATURE_START (BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_START + (BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_SIZE - 4))
+ * #define BOOTLOADER_PRINTER_SIGNATURE 0xDF20
+ *
+ * #define BOOTLOADER_ADDRESS_START (BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_START + (BOOTLOADER_API_TABLE_SIZE - 8))
+ * #define BOOTLOADER_ADDRESS_LENGTH 4
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * From the application the API support of the bootloader can be detected by reading the FLASH memory bytes located at address
+ * \c BOOTLOADER_MAGIC_SIGNATURE_START and comparing them to the value \c BOOTLOADER_MAGIC_SIGNATURE. The class of bootloader
+ * can be determined by reading the FLASH memory bytes located at address \c BOOTLOADER_CLASS_SIGNATURE_START and comparing them
+ * to the value \c BOOTLOADER_PRINTER_SIGNATURE. The start address of the bootloader can be retrieved by reading the bytes of FLASH
+ * memory starting from address \c BOOTLOADER_ADDRESS_START.
+ *
+ * \subsection SSec_API_MemLayout Device Memory Map
+ * The following illustration indicates the final memory map of the device when loaded with the bootloader.

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