/**
|
|
* \page Page_WhyUseLUFA Why Use LUFA?
|
|
*
|
|
* The LUFA Library has many advantages over implementing the code required to drive the USB AVRs directly.
|
|
* It is much more preferable to incorporate LUFA into your existing projects - or even make a new project
|
|
* using LUFA - than it is to start from scratch and use the USB AVR registers directly. Some of these reasons
|
|
* are:
|
|
*
|
|
* - <b>Portability:</b>
|
|
* The LUFA stack is designed to run (at some capacity) on the entire Atmel range of USB AVRs, regardless of the
|
|
* exact USB controller revision used. If you decide to implement your own USB stack, you will either need to
|
|
* code around the differences between each USB AVR controller's implementation between different chip models, or
|
|
* require your code to run on only one specific USB AVR model series.
|
|
*
|
|
* - <b>Speed of Development:</b>
|
|
* LUFA ships with a wide range of pre-made demos, bootloaders and projects for you to try, learn and extend. Each
|
|
* of these demos are tested (where possible) across as many USB AVRs and Operating Systems as possible, to ensure
|
|
* that they work under as many conditions as possible. In addition, there are inbuilt class drivers for several of
|
|
* the USB classes which you can make use of in your projects with minimal effort.
|
|
*
|
|
* - <b>Maintainability:</b>
|
|
* As LUFA takes care of much of the USB implementation, you can be left to focusing on your actual project's
|
|
* functionality, rather than being held back developing and debugging the USB stack code. Since LUFA uses clear APIs
|
|
* for USB development, your code will be more readable than if it had the low level USB stack code integrated into
|
|
* it directly. Updating the LUFA library is a simple folder-replacement and gives new features and bug fixes in
|
|
* seconds each time a new release is made.
|
|
*
|
|
* - <b>Size:</b>
|
|
* Not just requiring less code to make complex USB devices, LUFA is written to compile down as much as possible into
|
|
* optimal code, to occupy only a small space for its feature set.
|
|
*
|
|
* - <b>Support:</b>
|
|
* Since many people are now using LUFA in their own projects, you can take advantage of other's knowledge when you run
|
|
* into difficulties or need some advice. In addition, you can also email the library author to receive personalized
|
|
* support when you need it (subject to author's schedule).
