1 mechmini keyboard firmware
2 ==========================
4 This is a port of the QMK firmware for boards that are based on the
5 ps2avrGB firmware, like the [ps2avrGB
6 keyboard](https://www.keyclack.com/product/gb-ps2avrgb/) or the ones sold
7 by [Winkeyless](http://winkeyless.kr/product/ps2avrgb-parts/).
9 Note that this is a complete replacement for the firmware, so you won't be
10 using Bootmapper Client to change any keyboard settings, since not all the
11 USB report options are supported.
16 First, install the requirements. These commands are for OSX, but all you
17 need is the AVR toolchain and `bootloadHID` for flashing:
20 $ brew cask install crosspack-avr
21 $ brew install --HEAD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robertgzr/homebrew-tap/master/bootloadhid.rb
24 In order to use the `./program` script, which can reboot the board into
25 the bootloader, you'll need Python 2 with PyUSB installed:
31 Then, with the keyboard plugged in, simply run this command from the
32 `qmk_firmware` directory:
35 $ make mechmini-program
38 If you prefer, you can just build it and flash the firmware directly with
39 `bootloadHID` if you boot the board while holding down `L_Ctrl` to keep it
44 $ bootloadHID -r mechmini_default.hex
49 From my experience, it's really hard to brick these boards. But these
50 tricks have been useful when it got stuck in a weird scenario.
52 1. Try plugging the board in while pressing `L_Ctrl`. This will force it
53 to boot only the bootloader without loading the firmware. Once this is
54 done, just reflash the board with the original firmware.
55 2. Sometimes USB hubs can act weird, so try connecting the board directly
56 to your computer or plugging/unplugging the USB hub.
