+//! # USB Serial Example for the Blok
+//!
+//! Creates a USB Serial device on a blok board, with the USB driver running in
+//! the USB interrupt and all writes being done in the main loop with the usage
+//! of critical section.
+//!
+//! This will create a USB Serial device and then write to it.
+//! A loop will write its current loop number 10 times after which
+//! the Blok will reset to usb boot mode.
+//! If "stop" is read by the serial device, the Blok will also
+//! reset to usb boot mode.
