-dfu-programmer is a Device Firmware Update based USB programmer for
-Atmel chips with a USB bootloader.
+dfu-programmer is an implementation of the Device Firmware Upgrade
+class USB driver that enables firmware upgrades for various USB enabled
+(with the correct bootloader) Atmel chips. This program was created
+because the Atmel "FLIP" program for flashing devices does not support
+flashing via USB on Linux, and because standard DFU loaders do not work
+for Atmel's chips.
-It seems to be working just fine with the LUFA based DFU Bootloader.
-(http://www.fourwalledcubicle.com/LUFA.php).
+Check out the Atmel website for more information. They are kind enough
+to provide generally correct specifications this implementation is
+based on.
See README.SBo for post-install configuration.
