Installation instructions do not match files

There are references to a 'hardware' folder which doesn't exist as well as the boards.txt and platform.txt not being inside the bootloaders folder and seemingly being unused.

The old codebndr version did have this 'hardware' folder and the boards.txt and platform.txt files were located inside in a completely different structure. I can get that version to install no problems in Arduino IDE and Atmel Studio 7. However I can't figure out a way to install this current structure with the given installation instructions.

Any pointers?

Updated installation instructions:

  1. Download the .tar.gz file for the latest release from https://github.com/loathingKernel/ariadne-bootloader/releases
  2. Uncompress the downloaded file.
  3. Open your Arduino sketchbook folder. You can find the location of the sketchbook folder in the Arduino IDE at File > Preferences > Sketchbook location.
  4. Create the folder structure {sketchbook folder}/hardware/ariadne/avr
  5. Move the contents of the downloaded file to {sketchbook folder}/hardware/ariadne/avr
  6. Restart the Arduino IDE if it's running.

The trickiest part is 9a44ed2 removed the architecture folder, which is required by Arduino IDE 1.5.x and newer. So you need to create a specific folder structure to install into.
