Arduino Uno and Mega 2560 Firmwares for the ATmega8U2
2

    
3
This directory contains the firmwares used on the ATmega8U2 on the Arduino
4
Uno and Arduino Mega 2560.  The arduino-usbdfu directory contains the DFU
5
bootloader on the 8U2; the arduino-usbserial directory contains the actual
6
usb to serial firmware.  Both should be compiled against LUFA 100807.  The
7
two .hex files in this directory combine the dfu and serial firmwares into
8
a single file to burn onto the 8U2.

To burn (Uno):

avrdude -p at90usb82 -F -P usb -c avrispmkii -U flash:w:UNO-dfu_and_usbserial_combined.hex -U lfuse:w:0xFF:m -U hfuse:w:0xD9:m -U efuse:w:0xF4:m -U lock:w:0x0F:m

Note on USB Vendor IDs (VID) and Product IDs (PID): The arduino-usbdfu
18
project uses Atmel's VID and MCU-specific PIDs to maintain compatibility
19
with their FLIP software.  The source code to the arduino-usbserial
20
project includes Atmel's VID and a PID donated by them to LUFA.  This
21
PID is used in LUFA's USBtoSerial project, which forms the basis for
22
arduino-usbserial.  According to the LUFA documentation, this VID/PID
23
combination is:
24

    
25
 "For use in testing of LUFA powered devices during development only,
26
 by non-commercial entities. All devices must accept collisions on this
27
 VID/PID range (from other in-development LUFA devices) to be resolved
28
 by using a unique release number in the Device Descriptor. No devices
29
 using this VID/PID combination may be released to the general public."

The production version of the arduino-usbserial firmware uses the
32
Arduino VID.  This is only for use with official Arduino hardware and
33
should not be used on other products.
