+optional. If you're missing one and none of the ``case`` statements
+match, the ``switch`` does nothing at all, as if it wasn't there.
+``switch`` statements are often used with an ``enum`` value as the

Maple Rev6 - The Serial Bootloader (Tentative)
----------------------------------------------
-The bootloader in Rev3/Rev5 works quite well in linux, it works OK in
-Mac, but in windows we had a few major issues. First off, unlike the
-other operating systems, Windows needed to be manually pointed to both
-the driver to use for programming (DFU, via libusb) and the driver to
-use for serial communication (usbser.sys, built in to windows). Maple
-operates in only one of these modes at a time, installation has been
-quite tricky, involving getting Maple into the right mode and then
-installing the driver/inf file during the windows prompt. Furthermore,
-because libusb is not bundled with Windows, and its driver is not
-signed, users of Windows 7 have been forced to laboriously disable
-driver signing checks. Finally, the constant switching of the device
-between Serial and DFU modes (during programming) really confuses
-windows, often reprompting users to install drivers that are alrady
-installed or generally not working well. We have therefore decided to
-simplify things greatly, by simply abandoning DFU. In this new
-bootloader scheme, Maple is, simply, a serial device. Windows comes
-bundled with usbser.sys, so no driver signing is required. The
-installation process will be greatly simplified, there will be no more
-siwtching back and forth between "modes" and we get the chance to
-build in a lot of new functionality that were outside the DFU spec.
+The bootloader in Rev3/Rev5 works well on Linux, acceptably on Mac,
+but was unsatisfactory on Windows. Unlike the other operating systems,
+Windows needed to be manually pointed to both the driver to use for
+programming (DFU, via `libusb <http://www.libusb.org/>`_) and the
+driver to use for serial communication (usbser.sys, built in to
+Windows). Since Maple operates in only one of these modes at a time,
+driver installation was unnecessarily complicated. It was necessary to
+bring Maple into the correct mode before installing each of the
+drivers. Furthermore, because libusb is not bundled with Windows, and
+its driver is not signed, Windows 7 users have been forced to
+laboriously disable driver signing checks. Finally, Windows hates the
+constant switching of the device between Serial and DFU modes (during

The first incarnation of this serial-only bootloader leaves libmaple
and user code untouched. However, during programming, instead of
-calling dfu-util to upload code we will now call a newly written
-utility script similar to avr-dude used by arduino. The high level
+calling :command:`dfu-util` to upload code we will now call a newly
+written utility script similar to `avr-dude

operation of the bootloader will remain the same - come on at startup,
-wait for an upload operation or timeout and jump to user code. The
-second version of this bootloader will eliminate this dependence on
-resetting and timing out by having the bootloader run in the
-background all the time, and owning the serial port. In this scheme,

+
+The second version of this bootloader will eliminate this dependence
+on resetting and timing out by having the bootloader run in the
+background. It will additionally own the serial port. In this scheme,
sending data over the COM port while DTR is pulled low results in that
packet being captured by the bootloader and interpreted as a
bootloader command. When the user uploads a new program, the
bootloader will overwrite the old one, reset the various peripheral
-registers, and jump to user code. All of this will occur without every
+registers, and jump to user code. All of this will occur without
resetting the chip and thus causing Maple to connect and disconnect
-from your computer (which seems to cause many problems). The finaly
-version of this new bootloader scheme will actually involve a separate
+from your computer (which seems to cause many problems).
+
+The final version of this bootloader scheme will involve a separate
microcontroller, whose responsibilities are to drive the USB port,
program the main processor, and offer some amount of debugging

-begin with the same CMD byte. For each type of CMD, the structure of

-fields longer than 1 byte are transmitted MSB first (big

The Maple can be programmed in the `Wiring

language used to program the `Arduino <http://arduino.cc/>`_ boards.
