+
+# Overview
+The Jiminy board is a development of the
+[Chair of Integrated Analog Circuits and RF Systems](http://www.ias.rwth-aachen.de/cms/~gair/IAS/?lidx=1)
+(IAS) of the [RWTH Aachen University](https://www.rwth-aachen.de/). We started the project by porting
+RIOT OS to the [Pinoccio.io](https://github.com/Pinoccio/hardware-pinoccio) board. As there where severe
+limitations we designed the Jiminy board which has the the
+[ATmega256rfr2](www.atmel.com/Images/Atmel-8393-MCU_Wireless-ATmega256RFR2-ATmega128RFR2-ATmega64RFR2_Datasheet.pdf)
+MCU as common feature.
+
+It is Arduino like and features USB programming. The [Bootloader](https://github.com/Josar/arduino_stk500v2)
+is a fork of the Arduino Bootloader with added functionality for internal clock calibration and automatic baud
+rate detection.
+
+The Jiminy is design as a core board featuring a MCU, RF-transceiver, battery charger and power path management
+IC, a fuel gauge, an adjustable power supply between 1.8V to 3.3V (100mV Steps) and an RGB LED. All unused Pins
+are connected to pin headers.
+
+An USB C connector is used to connect to the computer or the charger. As USB C supports up to 3 ampere the board
+was designed in regard of fast charging and when connected to the grid or usage of big batteries high current
+supply capability for the shield.
+
+The shields can be powered either directly from the Charger/battery or from the adjustable converter, the
+converter supply pin can be enabled or disabled by the application. By connecting shields to the core Jiminy
+board, a multitude of wireless applications can be created.
+
+A first shield for temperature, humidity and soil moisture measurement is also developed at the IAS.
+
+If there is demand for devices please contact the author of this page for more details.

+# Flashing RIOT
+Flashing RIOT on the Jiminy is quite straight forward, just connect your Jiminy using the USB port
+to your host computer and type:
+
+`make flash BOARD=jiminy-mega256rfr2`
+
+This should take care of everything!
+
+RIOT's Makefile are configured to flash the jiminy using AVRDUDE. The bootloader automatically matches
+to the configured baud rate which is set for AVRDUDE. Rates of up to 500kBaud can be used.
