1 ps2avrGB 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.
15 Only the [B.mini X2](http://winkeyless.kr/product/b-mini-x2-pcb/) has been
16 tested so far (since it's the only one I own). But other boards that use
17 the ps2avrGB firmware should work as well.
21 First, install the requirements. These commands are for OSX, but all you
22 need is the AVR toolchain and `bootloadHID` for flashing:
25 $ brew cask install crosspack-avr
26 $ brew install --HEAD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robertgzr/homebrew-tap/master/bootloadhid.rb
29 In order to use the `./program` script, which can reboot the board into
30 the bootloader, you'll need Python 2 with PyUSB installed:
36 Then, with the keyboard plugged in, simply run this command from the
37 `qmk_firmware` directory:
40 $ make ps2avrGB-program
43 If you prefer, you can just build it and flash the firmware directly with
44 `bootloadHID` if you boot the board while holding down `L_Ctrl` to keep it
49 $ bootloadHID -r ps2avrGB_default.hex
54 From my experience, it's really hard to brick these boards. But these
55 tricks have been useful when it got stuck in a weird scenario.
57 1. Try plugging the board in while pressing `L_Ctrl`. This will force it
58 to boot only the bootloader without loading the firmware. Once this is
59 done, just reflash the board with the original firmware.
60 2. Sometimes USB hubs can act weird, so try connecting the board directly
61 to your computer or plugging/unplugging the USB hub.
