Rename the Doxygen page source directory from ManPages/ to DoxygenPages/ to prevent user confusion with the actual *nix Man tool.

When compiling an application + * which makes use of one or more board drivers located in LUFA/Drivers/Board, you must also indicate what board + * hardware you are using in your project makefile. This is done by defining the BOARD macro using the -D switch + * passed to the compiler, with a constant of BOARD_{Name}. For example <b>-DBOARD=BOARD_USBKEY</b> instructs the + * compiler to use the USBKEY board hardware drivers. + * + * If your application does not use *any* board level drivers, you can omit the definition of the BOARD macro. + * However, some users may wish to write their own custom board hardware drivers which are to remain compatible + * with the LUFA hardware API. To do this, the BOARD macro should be defined to the value BOARD_USER. This indicates + * that the board level drivers should be located in a folder named "Board" located inside the application's folder. + * + * When used, the driver stub files located in the LUFA/CodeTemplates/DriverStubs folder should be copied to the user + * Board/ directory, and fleshed out to include the values and code needed to control the custom board hardware. Once + * done, the existing LUFA board level APIs (accessed in the regular LUFA/Drivers/Board/ folder) will redirect to the + * user board drivers, maintaining code compatibility and allowing for a different board to be selected through the + * project makefile with no code changes. + */ + |
