* remove your device from the host using the host OS's ejection APIs, to ensure all data is correctly flushed to the
* bootloader's virtual filesystem and not cached in the OS's file system driver.

* The current device firmware can be read from the device by reading a file from the virtual FAT filesystem.
* The current device firmware can be read from the device by reading a file from the virtual FAT filesystem. Two files will
* be present:
* - <b>FLASH.BIN</b>, representing the AVR's internal flash memory
* - <b>EEPROM.BIN</b>, representing the AVR's internal EEPROM memory
*
* To convert an existing Intel HEX (.HEX) program file to a binary (.BIN) file suitable for this bootloader, run:
* \code
* avr-objcopy -O binary -R .eeprom -R .fuse -R .lock -R .signature input.hex output.bin
* \endcode
* From a terminal, replacing <tt>input.hex</tt> and <tt>output.bin</tt> with the respective input and output filenames.
* AVR EEPROM data files in Intel HEX format (.EEP) uses a similar technique:
* \code
* avr-objcopy -O binary input.eep output.bin
* \endcode
*
* \warning This bootloader is currently <b>incompatible with the Apple MacOS X OS Finder GUI</b>, due to the
* large amount of meta files this OS attempts to write to the disk along with the new binaries. On
