This is a fork of the Arduino AVR core from arduino/Arduino (hardware/arduino/avr/ directory) on GitHub. This will be used to maintain Arduino support for AVR boards including the MattairTech MT-DB-U1, MT-DB-U2, MT-DB-U4, and the MT-DB-U6 (see https://www.mattairtech.com/).
This core is intended to be installed using Boards Manager (see below). To update from a previous version, click on MattairTech AVR Boards in Boards Manager, then click Update.
- Initial release of the 1.6.x compatible AVR core.
- Any combination of CDC, HID, or UART can be used (or no combination), by using the Tools->Communication menu.
- Note that switching between CDC and CDC+HID will require re-selecting the COM port.
- More detailed memory usage at end of compilation (see below).
- Merged in upstream updates.

- Only INT pins are supported in this core (PCINT pins are not supported).
- MT-DB-U4: 1 additional analog pin is available by disconnecting the LED (solder jumper on rev B and higher boards)
- MT-DB-U6-64/128: 2 additional digital, 2 additional PWM, or 2 additional INT pins available with RTC crystal removed. Note however, that the RTC crystal holes are smaller and closer together than the header pin holes.
-
Tools->Communications menu Currently, the Tools->Communications menu must be used to select the communications configuration. This configuration must match the included libraries. For example, when including the HID and Keyboard libraries, you must select an option that includes HID (ie: CDC_HID_UART). This menu is currently needed to select the USB PID that matches the USB device configuration (needed for Windows). This may become automatic in a future release.
-
Incude platform specific libraries You may need to manually include platform specific libraries such as SPI.h, Wire.h, and HID.h.
-
EXCEPTION_FOR_57600 The MattairTech ArduinoCore-avr uses a more accurate baud rate for 57600 than the stock arduino. When using the USART to communicate with another Arduino, define EXCEPTION_FOR_57600.
-
New interrupt mapping The MattairTech ArduinoCore-avr has changed interrupt pin mapping from the previous 1.0.5 release. The arduino pin number is now used with attachInterrupt() instead of the interrupt number. See 'Pin Configurations' below.
To determine the Arduino pin number, start at the upper-left corner of the board opposite of the USB connector. This is pin 0 (most boards have a 0 printed nearby). The numbering increases in a counter-clockwise direction around the board. Many pins have multiple configurations available. For example, arduino pin 29 (AVR pin D0) on the MT-DB-U6 can be a PWM output (analogWrite), an external interrupt input, digital I/O, or the SCL pin of I2C.

Because of the similarities with the Arduino Leonardo, please read http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/ArduinoLeonardo first.
Within the Arduino IDE Tools menu, select the appropriate MattairTech board, Frequency/Voltage, Processor, Communications setting, and COM port. There are 2 Frequency/Voltage configurations for each board, 16MHz(5V) and 8MHz(3.3V). You may select 8MHz even if using 5V. When operating at 3.3V, you should select 8MHz. Operating at 16MHz at 3.3V is out of spec, but should work fine at room temperatures. Be sure to select the Communications setting that matches your sketch (by default, this is CDC_ONLY). This is important.
Note that some example sketches indicate the use of pins using the naming convention D2, D3, etc. These are Arduino digital pins, not to be confused with port D pins. Most MattairTech USB AVR boards are printed with both port pin names as well as sequential numbers indicating the Arduino pin number. You may use the 'A' or 'D' prefixes, but they are simply aliased to the arduino pin number (ie: A2 = D2 = 2).
There are several libraries included with Arduino. Some of these need simple changes to work with MattairTech boards. Usually, only pin mappings need to be changed.
To print to the Serial Monitor over USB, use 'Serial'. Serial points to SerialUSB (Serial1 is a UART). Unlike most Arduino boards (ie. Uno), USB AVR based boards do not automatically reset when the serial monitor is opened. To see what your sketch outputs to the serial monitor from the beginning, the sketch must wait for the SerialUSB port to open first. Add the following to setup():
while (!Serial) ;
Remember that if the sketch needs to run without SerialUSB connected, another approach must be used. You can also reset the board manually with the Reset button if you wish to restart your sketch. However, pressing the Reset button will reset the AVR chip, which in turn will reset USB communication. This interruption means that if the serial monitor is open, it will be necessary to close and re-open it to restart communication.
Tone.cpp now supports multiple simultaneous tone generation (one tone per timer). The MT-DB-U6 currently supports up to 4 simultaneous tones using timers 3, 1, 2, and 0 if not using the RTC, otherwise, timers 3, 1, and 0 are used for 3 tones. The MT-DB-U4 currently supports up to 3 simultaneous tones using timers 3, 1, and 0. A future release may support a fourth tone from timer 4. The MT-DB-U2 and MT-DB-U1 support 2 simultaneous tones using timers 1 and 0. Note that timer 0 has a lower accuracy for tone generation because it is 8-bit (timers 3 and 1 are 16-bit). Note also that use of timer 0 temporarily disables the use of delay(), which will return to normal operation once the tone stops playing. Thus, timer 0 is set with the lowest priority. For example, if generating DTMF tones on the MT-DB-U4, timers 3 and 1 will be used. However, the MT-DB-U2 and MT-DB-U1 will both use timer 0 for the second tone. If timer 0 is used, delay() should not be called while timer 0 is generating a tone. Instead, use _delay_ms(), which is included with avr-libc.
The DTMF_Demo sketch demonstrates usage of Tone.cpp for DTMF generation.
In this release, two programs are run at the end of compilation to provide more detailed memory usage. This is enabled only when verbose messages for compilation is enabled in the IDE Preferences. Just above the normal flash usage message, is the output from the size utility. Above the size utility output is the output from the nm utility. The values on the left are in bytes. The letters stand for: T(t)=.text, D(d)=.data, B(b)=.bss, and everything else (ie: W) resides in flash (in most cases).
- Note that USB CDC is required for auto-reset into the bootloader to work (otherwise, manually press reset with jumper installed).

Prior to core version 1.6.9-mt1, sketches compiled with both CDC and HID USB code by default, thus requiring a CDC driver for the bootloader and a CDC-HID driver for sketches. Now that PluggableUSB is supported, sketches compile with only CDC code by default. Thus, only one driver is needed. Since HID and MIDI are currently supported (and MSD potentially in the future), driver installation will be required for each different combination of USB devices. There are currently four USB composite device combinations that include CDC as well as a CDC only device. Each supported combination has a unique USB VID:PID pair, and these are listed in the .inf file. Once the first device is installed (the CDC only device), future installations might be automatic, otherwise, you may direct the installer to the same .inf file. The drivers are signed and support both 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows XP(SP3), Vista, 7, 8, and 10.
- If you do not already have the CDC bootloader installed, see below.
- Download https://www.mattairtech.com/software/MattairTech_CDC_Driver_Signed.zip and unzip into any folder.
- Plug in the board with the jumper installed. The LED should light.
- Windows will detect the board. Point the installer to the folder from above to install the bootloader driver.
- If you don't intend on using Arduino, you can skip the rest of this list. See Using AVRDUDE Standalone below.
- If you do not already have the test firmware installed, see Using AVRDUDE Standalone below.
- Press the reset button to run the test firmware (blink sketch).
- Windows will detect the board. Point the installer to the above folder to install the sketch driver (if needed).
- Continue with AVR Core Installation below.
- No driver installation is needed.
- On some distros, you may need to add your user to the same group as the port (ie: dialout) and/or set udev rules.
- You MAY have to install and use Arduino as the root user in order to get reliable access to the serial port.
- This is true even when group permissions are set correctly, and it may fail after previously working.
- You can also create/modify a udev rule to set permissions on the port so everyone can read / write.
- Continue with AVR Core Installation below.
UNTESTED 0. No driver installation is needed.
- Plug in the board. You may get a dialog box asking if you wish to open the “Network Preferences”:
- Click the "Network Preferences..." button, then click "Apply".
- The board will show up as “Not Configured”, but it will work fine.
- Continue with AVR Core Installation below.
- To update from a previous version, click on MattairTech AVR Boards in Boards Manager, then click Update.
- The MattairTech AVR Core requires Arduino 1.6.7+.
- In the Arduino IDE 1.6.7+, click File->Preferences.
- Click the button next to Additional Boards Manager URLs.
- Add https://www.mattairtech.com/software/arduino/package_MattairTech_index.json.
- Save preferences, then open the Boards Manager.
- Install the MattairTech AVR Boards package.
- Close Boards Manager, then select your board from Tools->Board.
- Select the Frequency/Voltage with the now visible Tools->Frequency/Voltage menu.
- Select the processor with the now visible Tools->Processor menu.
- Select the communications option with the now visible Tools->Communications menu (must match sketch).
- If you do not already have the bootloader or blink sketch installed, see USB CDC Bootloader below.
- Plug in the board. The blink sketch should be running.
- Click Tools->Port and choose the COM port.
- You can now upload your own sketch.
- In the Arduino IDE 1.6.7 (or above), open File->Examples->01.Basics->Blink.
- Change the three instances of '13' to 'LED_BUILTIN'.
- Be sure the correct options are selected in the Tools menu (see AVR Core Installation above).
- With the board plugged in, select the correct port from Tools->Port.
- Click the Upload button. After compiling, the sketch should be transferred to the board.
- Once the bootloader exits, the blink sketch should be running.
Each board has several bootloaders available. The CDC bootloader can be used with Arduino. Version 130410 or above is required to support the auto-reset feature. Note that several boards that were shipped after 130410 but before 130626 still have the old bootloader.
The bootloader enters programming mode only if the jumper is installed, except when using Arduino auto-reset or when the FLASH is empty. Even with the jumper installed, programming mode will NOT be entered if the reset was from the watchdog timer, unless the boot key is enabled and the key matches, as is the case with Arduino auto-reset (the Arduino core uses a watchdog reset to enter the bootloader).
The default CDC bootloader has the following compile-time options defined:
#define ENABLE_LED_BOOT
#define ENABLE_LED_APPLICATION
#define DISABLE_JTAG_APPLICATION
#define ENABLE_CLKDIV_1_APPLICATION
#define ENABLE_BOOT_KEY
#define ENABLE_RESET_AFTER_PROGRAMMING
#define NO_LOCK_BYTE_WRITE_SUPPORT
An alternate version with the above options undefined is available on the website named Bootloader_no_options.hex. Use it if the default options interfere with your application. For example, you may disconnect the LED and use the pin as an analog input.
- If you do not already have the MattairTech AVR core installed, see AVR Core Installation above.
- Plug a compatible programmer into a USB port, then connect it to the powered AVR board.
- Select your programmer from Tools->Programmer.
- Select your board from Tools->Board.
- Click Tools->Burn Bootloader. Ignore any messages about not supporting shutdown or reset.
- Continue with driver installation above.
AVRDUDE can be used standalone. You can use the version included with Arduino (in arduino-1.6.7/hardware/tools/avr/bin) or download a separate version from http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/avrdude/.
As an example, AVRDUDE will be used to upload the test firmware (blink sketch):
- Download firmware from https://www.mattairtech.com/software/CDC-bootloader-test-firmware.zip and unzip.
- If you have not already installed the bootloader driver, see Driver Installation above.
- Be sure there is a hex file that matches your chip. On the command line (change the hex file to match yours):
avrdude -p m32u4 -c avr109 -P usb -U flash:w:"blink.hex"
- On linux, the -P option should be something like /dev/ttyACM0.
- See http://www.nongnu.org/avrdude/user-manual/avrdude_4.html for details.
- Press the reset button with the jumper off to load the sketch.
- When using AVRDUDE standalone, the jumper must be installed before pressing reset to run the bootloader.
- Features for lower power consumption
- MSC (Mass Storage) USB Device Class
- Host mode CDC
- Better OS X support
- PCINT support

1.6.9-mt1:
- See 'What's New' above.
-
1.0.5.1 fixes the sketch not running when not connected to a USB host (ie: USB charger). Version 1.0.5 fixes several bugs (including BSoD's on Win7-64) and updates the Arduino core files and libraries to 1.0.5. Merged in changes to Arduino 1.0.5 core and examples. Changed a few //'s to #'s in boards.txt. Fixed blank spaces in board selection list. Eliminate descriptor serial numbers. Use new PID. Fixed Win7-64 BSoD's and code 10's. New inf file to support new PID. Initialize USB (HID and CDC) without needing Serial.begin(). Made USB_WAITFORCONNECT_DISABLED default instead of USB_WAITFORCONNECT_ENABLED. Added two nop()'s to USBSerial::readRXEndpoint() so switching USB endpoint banks does not result in returning -1 (empty). USBSerial::peek() fixed. Wait for USB_DeviceState_Connected state before continuing. change keyboardmouse demo to use different pins.
-
1.0.4 adds HID keyboard and mouse support, adds auto-reset support, updates LUFA to 130303, updates the Arduino core files and libraries to 1.0.4, updates the bootloaders, and adds support for the new MT-DB-U6.
