+In order to build the bossac tool, check out the BOSSA repository at Sourceforge
+as follows:
+
+git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/b-o-s-s-a/code b-o-s-s-a-code
+
+Apply the patch with the following command
+
+patch -d b-o-s-s-a-code -p1 < bossac.patch
+
+To build bossac, change to the bossac source directory and run
+
+make bin/bossac
+
+The resulting binary will be at bin/bossac.
+
+NOTE: the patch will cleanly apply to change 05bfcc39bc0453c3028b1161175b95a81af7a901.
+Subsequent commits on the bossa repository may implement the patch, and render
+it obsolete.
