# BootloadHID Flashing Instructions and Bootloader Information |
||||
|
||||
ps2avr(GB) boards use an ATmega32A microcontroller and a different bootloader. It is not flashable using the regular QMK methods. |
||||
|
||||
General flashing sequence: |
||||
|
||||
1. Enter the bootloader using any of the following methods: |
||||
* Tap the `RESET` keycode (may not work on all devices) |
||||
* Hold the salt key while plugging the keyboard in (usually documented within keyboard readme) |
||||
2. Wait for the OS to detect the device |
||||
3. Flash a .hex file |
||||
4. Reset the device into application mode (may be done automatically) |
||||
|
||||
## bootloadHID Flashing Target |
||||
|
||||
Using the QMK installation script, detailed [here](newbs_getting_started.md), the required bootloadHID tools should be automatically installed. |
||||
|
||||
To flash via the command line, use the target `:bootloadHID` by executing the following command: |
||||
|
||||
make <keyboard>:<keymap>:bootloadHID |
||||
|
||||
## GUI Flashing |
||||
|
||||
### Windows |
||||
1. Download [HIDBootFlash](http://vusb.wikidot.com/project:hidbootflash). |
||||
2. Place your keyboard into reset. |
||||
3. Ensure the configured VendorID is `16c0` and ProductID is `05df` |
||||
4. Press the `Find Device` button and ensure that your keyboard is found. |
||||
5. Press the `Open .hex File` button and locate the `.hex` file you created. |
||||
6. Press the `Flash Device` button and wait for the process to complete. |
||||
|
||||
## Command Line Flashing |
||||
|
||||
1. Place your keyboard into reset. |
||||
2. Flash the board by typing `bootloadHID -r` followed by the path to your `.hex` file. |
||||
|
||||
### Windows Manual Installation |
||||
For MSYS2: |
||||
1. Download the BootloadHID firmware package from https://www.obdev.at/downloads/vusb/bootloadHID.2012-12-08.tar.gz. |
||||
2. Extract contents using a compatible tool, for example 7-Zip. |
||||
3. Add to the MSYS path by copying `commandline/bootloadHID.exe` from the extracted archive to your MSYS2 installation, typically `C:\msys64\usr\bin`. |
||||
|
||||
For native Windows flashing, the `bootloadHID.exe` can be used outside of the MSYS2 environment. |
||||
|
||||
### Linux Manual Installation |
||||
1. Install libusb development dependency: |
||||
```bash |
||||
# This depends on OS - for Debian the following works |
||||
sudo apt-get install libusb-dev |
||||
``` |
||||
2. Download the BootloadHID firmware package: |
||||
``` |
||||
wget https://www.obdev.at/downloads/vusb/bootloadHID.2012-12-08.tar.gz -O - | tar -xz -C /tmp |
||||
``` |
||||
3. Build the bootloadHID executable: |
||||
``` |
||||
cd /tmp/bootloadHID.2012-12-08/commandline/ |
||||
make |
||||
sudo cp bootloadHID /usr/local/bin |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
