* Package name : micronucleus Version : 2.6 Upstream Author : Tim Bo"scke <cpld...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/micronucleus/micronucleus * License : GPL-2 Programming Lang: C, Assembly. Description : Bootloader designed for AVR ATtiny microcontrollers Micronucleus is a bootloader designed for AVR ATtiny microcontrollers with a minimal usb interface, cross platform libusb-based program upload tool, and a strong emphasis on bootloader compactness. To the authors knowledge this is, by far, the smallest USB bootloader for AVR ATtiny. The bootloader allows uploading of new firmware via USB. In its usual configuration it is invoked at device reset and will identify to the host computer. If no communication is initiated by the host machine within a given time, the bootloader will time out and enter the user program, if one is present. There are multiple ATtiny-based hardware projects that use micronucleus, including some aimed at educational purposes, such as Franzininho [1]. We from the embedded systems student group at University of Campinas (Unicamp) use it to introduce undergraduate students on embedded systems. I plan to maintain it myself under the debian/ namespace in Salsa or in the eletronics team if you seem fit. [1] https://franzininho.com.br
