Note: This stuff is beta! Patches welcome, dragons ahead.

Step 0.
--------

Install antares. Follow instructions at http://github.com/nekromant/antares

Compiling the bootloader
------------------------

Copy the starting config. Use config_m328pbootldr as a starting point for the actual bootloader. 

cp config_m328pbootldr .config

Adjust settings using 'make menuconfig' as required. 
Normally you'll need to tick 'Run in bootloader section' and set bootloader address for AVR. 
PITFALL: AVR fuse calcs and datasheets show the bootloader section size in WORDS, 
while antares, like gcc expects a hex value in BYTES. 
Then burn it to your board. Remember to set the fuses correctly to enable boot reset vector. 
Everything should work out of the box. 

Debugging
---------
Enabling debugging will considerably (+2K) bloat the bootloader. 
You can burn it to application section for debugging, and test 
reading and writing the eeprom partition. 

To enable debugging: 
 make manuconfig

Navigate to 

Libraries and drivers -> Console and IO

Enable early console and set it to something 
you have on your board, like AVR HW serial port. 
Make sure you select avr-libc glue as well. 

Enable 'printk and dbg() macro support'

You are done. Compile and burn it to your board, you should see debugging 
coming from the serial port of your choice. 

rf24 library debugging can be tuned in: 

Libraries and drivers -> Wireless devices -> nrf24L01 support

0 - stands for debugging disabled
5 - stands for very verbose

Compiling the uISP app
----------------------

Normally you won't need this, since rf24tool will be in your 'uappmgr'. If you don't have it - run 'uappmgr update' 
Get an uISP dongle. Order, etch, make yours... Whatever. 
See github.com/uISP for schematics and firmware.
Use config_uispdongle as a starting config. Any atmega with vusb and nrf24l01 
can do the trick with a little bit of hacking ;). 
 

Compiling the rf24tool
----------------------
cd rf24tool
make
Then copy the rf24tool somewhere to your $PATH.
See rf24tool --help for info on different options
