+This is the Readme file for the hid-data example. In this example, we show
+how blocks of data can be exchanged with the device using only functionality
+compliant to the HID class. Since class drivers for HID are included with
+Windows, you don't need to install drivers on Windows.
+
+
+WHAT IS DEMONSTRATED?
+=====================
+This example demonstrates how the HID class can be misused to transfer fixed
+size blocks of data (up to the driver's transfer size limit) over HID feature
+reports. This technique is of great value on Windows because no driver DLLs
+are needed (the hid-custom-rq example still requires the libusb-win32 DLL,
+although it may be in the program's directory). The host side application
+requires no installation, it can even be started directly from a CD. This
+example also demonstrates how to transfer data using usbFunctionWrite() and
+usbFunctionRead().
+
+
+PREREQUISITES
+=============
+Target hardware: You need an AVR based circuit based on one of the examples
+(see the "circuits" directory at the top level of this package), e.g. the
+metaboard (http://www.obdev.at/goto.php?t=metaboard).
+
+AVR development environment: You need the gcc tool chain for the AVR, see
+the Prerequisites section in the top level Readme file for how to obtain it.
+
+Host development environment: A C compiler and libusb on Unix. On Windows
+you need the Driver Development Kit (DDK) Instead of libusb. MinGW ships
+with a free version of the DDK.
+
+
+BUILDING THE FIRMWARE
+=====================
+Change to the "firmware" directory and modify Makefile according to your
+architecture (CPU clock, target device, fuse values) and ISP programmer. Then
+edit usbconfig.h according to your pin assignments for D+ and D-. The default
+settings are for the metaboard hardware.
+
+Type "make hex" to build main.hex, then "make flash" to upload the firmware
+to the device. Don't forget to run "make fuse" once to program the fuses. If
+you use a prototyping board with boot loader, follow the instructions of the
+boot loader instead.
+
+Please note that the first "make hex" copies the driver from the top level
+into the firmware directory. If you use a different build system than our
+Makefile, you must copy the driver by hand.
+
+
+BUILDING THE HOST SOFTWARE
+==========================
+Make sure that you have libusb (on Unix) or the DDK (on Windows) installed.
+We recommend MinGW on Windows since it includes a free version of the DDK.
+Then change to directory "commandline" and run "make" on Unix or
+"make -f Makefile.windows" on Windows.
+
+
+USING THE COMMAND LINE TOOL
+===========================
+The device implements a data store of 128 bytes in EEPROM. You can send a
+block of 128 bytes to the device or read the block using the command line
+tool.
+
+To send a block to the device, use e.g.
+
+    hidtool write 0x01,0x02,0x03,0x04,...
+
+and to receive the block, use
+
+    hidtool read
