*
* The following list indicates what microcontrollers are compatible with this demo.
*
* - Series 7 USB AVRs (AT90USBxxx7)
* - Series 6 USB AVRs (AT90USBxxx6)
* - Series 4 USB AVRs (ATMEGAxxU4)
* - Series 2 USB AVRs (AT90USBxx2, ATMEGAxxU2)

* \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 deliberatley non-compatible with the properietary 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 USB1287, 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
* enlarge this space and/or change the AVR model, you will need to edit the BOOT_START and MCU values in the
* accompanying makefile.
*
* \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 non-compatible with the cross-platform loader GUI. 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 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.
