+spi_butterfly - parport-to-butterfly adapter driver
+===================================================
+
+This is a hardware and software project that includes building and using
+a parallel port adapter cable, together with an "AVR Butterfly" to run
+firmware for user interfacing and/or sensors.  A Butterfly is a $US20
+battery powered card with an AVR microcontroller and lots of goodies:
+sensors, LCD, flash, toggle stick, and more.  You can use AVR-GCC to
+develop firmware for this, and flash it using this adapter cable.
+
+You can make this adapter from an old printer cable and solder things
+directly to the Butterfly.  Or (if you have the parts and skills) you
+can come up with something fancier, providing circuit protection to the
+Butterfly and the printer port, or with a better power supply than two
+signal pins from the printer port.  Or for that matter, you can use
+similar cables to talk to many AVR boards, even a breadboard.
+
+This is more powerful than "ISP programming" cables since it lets kernel
+SPI protocol drivers interact with the AVR, and could even let the AVR
+issue interrupts to them.  Later, your protocol driver should work
+easily with a "real SPI controller", instead of this bitbanger.
+
+
+The first cable connections will hook Linux up to one SPI bus, with the
+AVR and a DataFlash chip; and to the AVR reset line.  This is all you
+need to reflash the firmware, and the pins are the standard Atmel "ISP"
+connector pins (used also on non-Butterfly AVR boards).  On the parport
+side this is like "sp12" programming cables.

+
+Then to let Linux master that bus to talk to the DataFlash chip, you must
+(a) flash new firmware that disables SPI (set PRR.2, and disable pullups
+by clearing PORTB.[0-3]); (b) configure the mtd_dataflash driver; and
+(c) cable in the chipselect.

+
+Or you could flash firmware making the AVR into an SPI slave (keeping the
+DataFlash in reset) and tweak the spi_butterfly driver to make it bind to
+the driver for your custom SPI-based protocol.
+
+The "USI" controller, using J405, can also be used for a second SPI bus.
+That would let you talk to the AVR using custom SPI-with-USI firmware,
+while letting either Linux or the AVR use the DataFlash.  There are plenty
+of spare parport pins to wire this one up, such as:
