- No longer include `tools/serial.mk` and `tools/avrdude.mk`, as this is
no done by `boards/common/atmega`
- No longer provide `RESET ?=`, as this is now done in `tools/avrdude.mk` for
all ATmega boards unless they are using a bootloader
The reboot process for ATmegas is to enable the watchdog timer and loop until
the wdt reboots this MCU. However, this reboot will keep the wdt configuration,
so that the wdt needs to be disabled during boot. This is done in get_mcusr,
but without the attribute "used" it will be optimized out in LTO builds. This
commits adds the attribute "used" to get_mcusr.
Also simplified the backward compatibility with older ATmegas (currently not
supported by RIOT) on outdated versions of avrlibc.
- Use the common logic to translate from a bootloader to concrete flasher flags
- Extended documentation on how to use optiboot as alternative bootloader, as
the stock bootloader is affected by a bug preventing the use of RIOT's
pm_reboot() implementation
- including `avrdude.mk` and `serial.mk` is no longer needed
- the avrdude flag -F is dropped
- This allows flashing a board having an MCU different to the one
RIOT was compiled for
- It is better to let the user provide this flag manually if she/he really
wants to turn safety off, knows what she/he is doing, and accepts the
risk associated with this
- the avrdude flag -D is dropped
- This disables issuing an erase command during flashing, however this
erase cycle is strictly required to be able to program the flash
- This is only needed in case of the stk500v2 bootloader, which implicitly
does the erase cycle and fails if explicitly asked to do so
- Only for the stk500v2 bootloader this flag is now added
- Include `tools/avrdude.mk` and `tools/serial.mk` at the common place instead
for each ATmega based board individually
- Introduce the makefile variable BOOTLOADER to de-duplicate flash configs:
- Two boards using the same bootloader now just use `BOOTLOADER ?= foo`
and share the individual config
- These settings are not applied when `PROGRAMMER` is set to still allow
users to manually specify how to program their board
To quickly iterate on animations it is handy to being able to simulate
the output on native.
This adds a VT100 terminal backend to the ws281x driver that outputs
the colors straight to the terminal.
