INSTALL

PREREQUISITES
	
	The Gumbi API is written in Python, and requires no additional modules
	outside of those included with the standard Python installation. 

	The firmware is written in C, and must be built for the AVR architecture;
	thus, you must have the AVR cross-compiler and toolchain installed on
	your system in order to build the firmware. 

	To install the firmware via the Makefile, you must also have the dfu-programmer
	utility installed. Alternately, you can install the firmware using the
	Atmel Flip utility.

	The majority of the API code is platform independant, and should work on
	most systems; currently however, it has only been tested under Linux.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

	To install the Gumbi API modules and associated Gumbi utilities:

		$ cd src/python
		$ ./configure
		# make

	To install the firmware onto the Gumbi board:

		$ cd src/avr
		$ make
		# make install

	Note that prior to installing the Gumbi board firmware, you must first
	put the board into programming mode, by shorting the two RESET pins while
	also shorting the two PROGRAM pins together.
