+ATtiny Series 1 (tiny1616) Support
+==================================
+
+As of early 2021, the Debian packages for gcc-avr and avrdude do not include
+support for the Tiny1 series chips. Extra steps are required to get these
+working.
+
+ - Download the Atmel ATtiny Series Device Support pack:
+ http://packs.download.atmel.com/
+
+ - Unzip the pack somewhere on your build computer
+
+ - Set ATTINY_DFP=/path/to/where/you/unzipped/the/pack
+ (either in your shell, or in this repo's bin/build.sh script)
+
+ export ATTINY_DFP=$HOME/src/torches/atmel/attiny-dfp
+
+ - Make sure you're using gcc-avr 1:5.4.0+Atmel3.6.2 or newer.
+ 3.6.1 will not work. It gives errors like:
+ /usr/lib/gcc/avr/5.4.0/../../../avr/bin/ld: address 0x80381e of anduril.elf section `.data' is not within region `data'
+ This requires debian/bullseye or newer; buster has 3.6.1.
+
+This should at least allow the code to compile.
+
+Some extra steps are also needed to make flashing (avrdude) work:
+
+ - Get an AVR jtag2 device.
+ The one I'm using is: "HWAYEH AVR JTAG ICE Version 2.0"
+ Connect the cables:
+ - GND = -
+ - Vtref = +
+ - nSRST = R (reset/UPDI)
+
+ - Flash the jtag2 device with the relevant firmware:
+ https://github.com/ElTangas/jtag2updi/tree/master/tools/avrjtagicev2
+
+ - Get an avrdude.conf which supports jtag2updi:
+
+ - Download avrdude.conf from https://github.com/ElTangas/jtag2updi
+ and put it in /etc
+
+ - Or grab the source and set an environment variable:
+
+ cd ~/src/torches/avrdude
+ git clone https://github.com/ElTangas/jtag2updi
+ export AVRDUDE_CONF="-C$HOME/src/torches/avrdude/jtag2updi/avrdude.conf"
+
+ - Maybe configure which USB serial port to use too:
+ export AVRDUDE_TTYUSB="/dev/ttyUSB2"
+
+Afterward, flashing should work. You may need to unplug and replug the jtag2
+USB device between uses though, since it may stop responding after each use.
