* \n * * LUFA is donationware. For author and donation information, see \ref Page_Donating. * * LUFA is an open-source USB library for the USB-enabled AVR microcontrollers, released under the MIT license (see \ref Page_LicenseInfo). * It supports a large number of USB AVR models and boards (see \ref Page_DeviceSupport). It is designed to provide an easy to use, * feature rich framework for the development of USB peripherals and hosts. * * LUFA focuses on the microcontroller side of USB development only; it includes no PC host USB driver development facilities - other projects * such as the Windows Driver Development Kit, Windows USB Device Mode Framework and libusb may be of interest for developing custom OS drivers. * While custom USB devices can be made with LUFA using such tools, the included demos all use the inbuilt OS drivers for each USB class for * simplicity. * * The library is currently in a stable release, suitable for download and incorporation into user projects for * both host and device modes. For information about the project progression, see the blog link at \ref Page_Resources. * * LUFA is written specifically for the free AVR-GCC compiler, and uses several GCC-only extensions to make the * library API more streamlined and robust. You can download AVR-GCC for free in a convenient windows package, * from the the WinAVR website (see \ref Page_Resources). * * The only required AVR peripherals for LUFA is the USB controller itself and interrupts - LUFA does not require the use of the * microcontroller's timers or other hardware, leaving more hardware to the application developer. * * Accompanying LUFA in the download package is a set of example demo applications, plus several Bootloaders of different classes * and open source LUFA powered projects. * * Subsections: * \li \subpage Page_WhyUseLUFA - What are the advantages of using LUFA? * \li \subpage Page_LUFAvsAtmelStack - How does LUFA compare to the Atmel USB AVR stack? * \li \subpage Page_AlternativeStacks - Alternative USB AVR Stacks * \li \subpage Page_LicenseInfo - Project source license and commercial use information * \li \subpage Page_Donating - Donating to support this project * \li \subpage Page_LibraryApps - Overview of included Demos, Bootloaders and Projects */
