* * \section Sec_Description Project Description: * * This bootloader enumerates to the host as a CDC Class device (virtual serial port), allowing for AVR109 * protocol compatible programming software 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. * * \warning THIS BOOTLOADER IS NOT SECURE. Malicious entities can recover written data, even if the device * lockbits are set. * * \section Sec_Installation Driver Installation * * After running this bootloader for the first time on a new computer, you will need to supply the .INF * file located in this bootloader project's directory as the device's driver when running under Windows. * This will enable Windows to use its inbuilt CDC drivers, negating the need for custom drivers for the * device. Other Operating Systems should automatically use their own inbuilt CDC-ACM drivers. * * \section Sec_HostApp Host Controller Application * * This bootloader is compatible with the open source application AVRDUDE, Atmel's AVRPROG, or other * applications implementing the AVR109 protocol, which is documented on the Atmel website as an application * note. * * \subsection SSec_AVRDude AVRDUDE (Windows, Mac, Linux) * * AVRDude is a free, cross-platform and open source command line programmer for Atmel and third party AVR * programmers. It is available on the the Windows platform as part of the "WinAVR" package, or on other systems * either from a build from the official source code, or in many distributions as a precompiled binary package. * * To load a new HEX file with AVRDude, specify "AVR109" as the programmer, with the allocated COM port. On Windows * platforms this will be a COMx port name: * \code * avrdude -c AVR109 -p at90usb1287 -P COM0 -U flash:w:Mouse.hex * \endcode * * On Linux systems, this will typically be a /dev/ttyACMx port name: * \code * avrdude -c AVR109 -p at90usb1287 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -U flash:w:Mouse.hex * \endcode * * Refer to the AVRDude project documentation for additional usage instructions. * * \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_CDC_SIGNATURE 0xDF00 * * #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_CDC_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. * * \verbatim * +----------------------------+ 0x0000 * | | * | | * | | * | | * | | * | | * | | * | | * | User Application | * | | * | | * | | * | | * | | * | | * | | * +----------------------------+ FLASHEND - BOOT_SECTION_SIZE * | | * | Bootloader Application | * | (Not User App. Accessible) | * | | * +----------------------------+ FLASHEND - 96 * | API Table Trampolines | * | (Not User App. Accessible) | * +----------------------------+ FLASHEND - 32 * | Bootloader API Table | * | (User App. Accessible) | * +----------------------------+ FLASHEND - 8 * | Bootloader ID Constants | * | (User App. Accessible) | * +----------------------------+ FLASHEND * \endverbatim * * \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 here for resolution steps. * If the issue still persists then uninstall modemmanager by executing sudo apt-get remove modemmanager, 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 here for resolution steps. * * \par After loading an application, it is not run automatically on startup. * Some USB AVR boards ship with the BOOTRST fuse set, causing the bootloader * to run automatically when the device is reset. In most cases, the BOOTRST * fuse should be disabled and the HWBE fuse used instead to run the bootloader * when needed. * * \section Sec_Options Project Options * * The following defines can be found in this demo, which can control the demo behaviour when defined, or changed in value. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Define Name:Location:Description:
NO_BLOCK_SUPPORTAppConfig.hDefine to disable memory block read/write support in the bootloader, requiring all reads and writes to be made * using the byte-level commands.
NO_EEPROM_BYTE_SUPPORTAppConfig.hDefine to disable EEPROM memory byte read/write support in the bootloader, requiring all EEPROM reads and writes * to be made using the block-level commands.
NO_FLASH_BYTE_SUPPORTAppConfig.hDefine to disable FLASH memory byte read/write support in the bootloader, requiring all FLASH reads and writes * to be made using the block-level commands.
NO_LOCK_BYTE_WRITE_SUPPORTAppConfig.hDefine to disable lock byte write support in the bootloader, preventing the lock bits from being set programmatically.
