atMega32U4 - Leonardo Bootloader - Compiling - question

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards
1

Hello All

I have been away from Arduino for quite a while, and just coming back but am a little stuck with a new project I am plugging away at.

I have a custom board based on the Leonardo which I am wanting to slightly modify the bootloader, compile it and load it on, but am a little stuck.

I have been reading for a few hours, from posts which go back to 2012, but have got myself a little confused and I am hoping someone can put me back on the right track.

I have also never done this, so please bear with me.

What I am wanting to do is modify the Leonardo bootloader source, to remove the RX and TX LED code, as I have utilised those two GPIO's for other things. I want it otherwise left the same. I guess changing the name of what it comes up with would be a bonus too. I think I can modify the source OK, but I am unsure how to compile, or what programs I need.

I am on a windows machine.

I have seen WinAVR referenced, and in the Caterina-Leonardo.txt file in the bootloader folder, it states something about LUFA and then the various versions of things used. Do I need to use and install the same version of all of these in order to compile this bootloader? It mentions CrossPack too, which I can only gather is for Mac?

Basically if someone is able to tell me what I need to download, that would be a great start.

I looked at the Makefile, but am a little confused there too. It also talks about this LUFA thing, which from what I can understand is a way to get this chip to act like other USB devices, like a Keyboard etc, is that right? Or is it also used for default behaviour as per the Leonardo as it ships from factory?

Sorry - just confused.
Have been reading for too long I think, and unsure if information on older posts/sites is still relevant.

Some help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
WanaGo

I found this post

http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=267125.0

Which is basically what I am wanting to do also!
Got up to Step 5, but I get:

ok that one seemed to have to do with my path in the Makefile.

I now get

ok still paths related.
Solved now.
