About the LUFA (Formerly MyUSB) Library

081217

Lightweight USB Framework for AVRs Library, written by Dean Camera.

About this library

Originally based on the AT90USBKEY from Atmel, it is an open-source, driver for the USB-enabled AVR microcontrollers, released under the MIT license. Currently, the AT90USB1286, AT90USB1287, AT90USB646, AT90USB647, AT90USB162, AT90USB82, ATMEGA16U4, ATMEGA32U6 and ATMEGA32U4 AVR microcontrollers are supported by the library. Supported premade boards are the USBKEY, STK525, STK526 and RZUSBSTICK.

The library is currently in a stable release, suitable for download and incorporation into user projects for both host and device modes. For information about the project progression, check out my blog.

LUFA is written specifically for the free AVR-GCC compiler, and uses several GCC-only extensions to make the library API more streamlined and robust. You can download AVR-GCC for free in a convenient windows package, from the the WinAVR website.

Demos and Bootloaders

The LUFA library ships with several different host and device demos, located in the /Demos/ subdirectory. If this directory is missing, please re-download the project from the project homepage.

Also included with the library are two fully functional bootloaders, loacated in the /Bootloaders/ subdirectory. The DFU class bootloader is compatible with Atmel's FLIP software or the open source dfu-programmer project, and the CDC class (AVR109 protocol) is compatible with such open source software as AVRDUDE and AVR-OSP.

Donate

I am a 19 year old University student studying for a double degree in Computer Science and Electronics Engineering. This leaves little time for any sort of work or leisure. Please consider donating a small amount to myself to support this and my future Open Source projects. You can donate any amount via PayPal on my website, http://www.fourwalledcubicle.com . All donations are greatly appreciated.
