Coffee is placed by default at the beginning of the flash memory, right
before the firmware. This avoids the memory gaps that there could be
before and after Coffee if it were placed after the firmware, because it
is unlikely that the end of the firmware is aligned with a flash page
boundary, and the CCA is not flash-page-aligned. Thanks to that, Coffee
is also always in the same flash area if its size remains unchanged,
even if the firmware changes, which makes it possible to keep the Coffee
files when reprogramming the firmware after a partial flash erase
command.
The default configuration of Coffee is set to use sensible values for a
typical usage on this SoC, i.e. for sensor data logging.
The default size of Coffee is set to 0 in order not to waste flash if
Coffee is unused.
COFFEE_CONF_CUSTOM_PORT can be defined to a header file to be used with
"#include" in order to override the default CC2538 port of Coffee. This
makes it possible to use Coffee with an external memory device rather
than with the internal flash memory, without having to alter the Contiki
files.

* The current version of the README points to a wrong URL
for the LUFA Virtual Serial driver.
* A driver is nowadays provided by TI with CC2538
Foundation Firmware
Thus, this pull updates the LUFA driver URL and also provides a
link to CC2538 Foundation Firmware
Document the URL of the older Sourcery G++ Lite 2008q3-66 arm-none-eabi
toolchain mentioned by README.md so that users can easily find it if
needed.

This avoids the limitation of having a single UART available at runtime, without
duplicating code.

The CC2538 currently has two addressing options: a hardcoded address set
at compile time or the address stored in primary address section of the
info page. This commit adds the option to choose the secondary location
of the ieee address from the info page, or any memory address.
To use, define `IEEE_ADDR_CONF_USE_SECONDARY_LOCATION` in `project-conf.h`
or similar.
For example:
#define IEEE_ADDR_CONF_USE_SECONDARY_LOCATION 1
As discussed in #503, -Os was broken with one of the toolchains
recommended in the platform's README and for that reason we were
using -O2 by default.
This commit sets the default to -Os and updates the README to no
longer recommend the toolchain in question
Some peripherals have their clocks automatically gated in PM1+ modes, so they
cannot operate. This new mechanism gives peripherals a way to prohibit PM1+
modes so that they can properly complete their current operations before
entering PM1+.
This mechanism is implemented with peripheral functions registered to the LPM
module. These functions return whether the associated peripheral permits or not
PM1+ modes. They are called by the LPM module each time PM1+ might be possible.
If any of the peripherals wants to block PM1+, then the system is only dropped
to PM0.
