 *  \section Sec_Description Project Description:
 *
 *  Firmware for an AVRStudio compatible AVRISP-MKII clone programmer. This project will enable the USB AVR series of
 *  microcontrollers to act as a clone of the official Atmel AVRISP-MKII programmer, usable within AVRStudio. In its
 *  most basic form, it allows for the programming of AVRs at the programmer's VCC voltage from within AVRStudio with
 *  no special hardware other than the USB AVR and the parts needed for the USB interface. If the user desires, more
 *  advanced circuits incorporating level conversion can be made to allow for the programming of 3.3V AVR designs.
 *
 *  This device spoofs Atmel's official AVRISP-MKII device PID so that it remains compatible with Atmel's AVRISP-MKII
 *  drivers. When prompted, direct your OS to install Atmel's AVRISP-MKII drivers provided with AVRStudio.
 *
 *  Note that this design currently has the following limitations:
 *    - No reversed/shorted target connector detection and notification
 *    - A separate header is required for each of the ISP, PDI and TPI programming protocols that the user wishes to use
 *
 *  On AVR models with an ADC converter, AVCC should be tied to 5V (e.g. VBUS) and the \c VTARGET_ADC_CHANNEL token should be
 *  set to an appropriate ADC channel number in the project makefile for VTARGET detection to operate correctly. On models
 *  without an ADC converter, VTARGET will report a fixed 3.3V level at all times.
 *
 *  While this application can be compiled for USB AVRs with as little as 8KB of FLASH, for full functionality 16KB or more
 *  of FLASH is required. On 8KB devices, ISP or PDI/TPI programming support can be disabled to reduce program size.

 *
 *  In addition, the AVR's OCR1A pin will generate a 4MHz clock, to act as an external rescue device clock if the
 *  fuses have been mis-set. To use the recovery clock, connect the OCR1A pin of the USB AVR to the target AVR's
 *  XTAL1 pin, and set the ISP programming speed to 125KHz (note: other ISP speeds will not work correctly).
