----------------------
This README is a bit long, just look at the sections you are interested in.
+You only need to install avr-gcc if you want to build for the Teensy 2.0/2.0++.
+Everything else needs an arm-none-eabi-gcc compiler (e.g. Infinity keyboard, Teensy 3.0/3.1, McHCK).
+
+
Linux is the ideal build environment (preferably recent'ish).
+In the near future I'll make available an Arch Linux VM for building/manufacturing tests.
Building on Mac should be ok for 99% of users with Macports (haven't tried Brew).
The dfu Bootloader will not build correctly with the old version of arm-none-eabi-gcc that Macports currently has (4.7.3).
This is due to a bug with lto (link time optimizations) which makes the resulting binary too big to fit on the chip (must be less than 4096 Bytes).
+
Building on Windows should also be fine for 99% of users, but takes a bunch of work to setup (because Windows is a crappy dev environment).
Cygwin is currently required along with some non-Cygwin compilers and utilities (because they are not available for Cygwin).
The dfu Bootloader will not build because of a Make 3.81+ bug/feature that removed support for non-Unix (Windows) filenames as dependencies of targets.
If you replace the version of Make in Cygwin it should work (e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/601516/cygwin-make-error-target-pattern-contains-no).
However, make sure that the flash size is no larger than 4096 Bytes or the bootloader will not work.
+Things will likely break if there are *SPACES IN YOUR PATHS*. I install cygwin to C:\cygwin64.
+If you are brave and have programming knowledge, I will accept patches to fix any issues regarding spaces in paths.

- python3
- ctags (recommended, not required)
-Please note, I use cygwin term exclusively for any command line options. Unless mentioned otherwise use it.
+Please note, I use cygwin term exclusively for any command line options. Unless mentioned otherwise, use it.
Do NOT use CMD or Powershell.
Also install the Windows version of CMake (3+ is ideal) - http://cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
+Select "Do not add CMake to system PATH".
This is in addition to the Cygwin version. This is an easier alternative to installing another C compiler.
Add the following line to your .bashrc, making sure the CMake path is correct:
echo "alias wincmake=\"PATH='/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/CMake'/bin:'${PATH}' cmake -G 'Unix Makefiles'\"" >> ~/.bashrc
| ARM EABI |
----------
-Download the latest version of Mentor Graphics Sourcery CodeBench ARM EABI.
+Download the latest GNU Tools for Embedded Processors gcc-arm-none-eabi.
-http://www.mentor.com/embedded-software/sourcery-tools/sourcery-codebench/editions/lite-edition/
+https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/+download
-Look for "Download the EABI Release".
-Enter your info to get the download link.
-Select the most recent download.
-Then download the "IA32 Windows Installer".
+Download "gcc-arm-none-eabi*win32.zip".
-Then copy all the folders/files installed (e.g. C:\Users\Haata\MentorGraphics\Sourcery_CodeBench_Lite_for_ARM_EABI\) to Cygwin /usr/local directory.
+Then extract all the folders/files in the zip to the Cygwin /usr/local directory.
Mine is C:\cygwin64\usr\local.
-Or, you can setup paths using the installer (you have to be more careful though).

+CMake Info
+----------------------
+
+One of the big benefits of using CMake is the ability to build multiple configurations (for different microcontrollers) at the same time.
+The following sections explain in detail what each CMakeLists.txt configuration option does and what you can change it to.
+However, it is possible to configure each of these options using the -D command line flag.
+
+For example, to build the Infinity Keyboard default configuration:
+
+mkdir build_infinity
+cd build_infinity
+cmake -DCHIP=mk20dx128vlf5 -DScanModule=MD1 -DMacroModule=PartialMap -DOutputModule=pjrcUSB -DDebugModule=full -DBaseMap=defaultMap -DDefaultMap="md1Overlay stdFuncMap" -DPartialMaps="hhkbpro2" ..
+make
+
+CMake defaults to the values specified in CMakeLists.txt if not overridden via the command line.
+NOTE: On Windows, you will have to use "wincmake" instead of "cmake".

+Linux Loading Bootloader
+----------------------

+*NOTE* Does not apply to Teensy based builds.
+
+It's recommended to use an SWD-type flasher like a Bus Pirate.
+There is a convenience script for loading the firmware once the system is setup.
+
+cd Bootloader/Scripts
+./swdLoad.bash
+
+The above script requires Ruby, Ruby serial port module, git, and a /dev/buspirate udev rule.

+First place the keyboard into re-flash mode.
+This can be done either by pressing the re-flash button on the PCB/Teensy.
+Or by entering the Kiibohd Virtual Serial Port and using the 'reload' command.
+
+The 'load' script that is created during the build can load the firmware over USB.
+
+
+To load the newly built firmware:
+./load
Make sure the Teensy Virtual Serial Port driver is installed.
If possible use screen (as part of Cygwin).
+Check which COM port the virtual serial port has been assigned to:
+ Device Manager->Ports (COM & LPT)->Teensy USB Serial
+ In brackets it will say which COM port (e.g. COM3)

+Unfortunately, screen for Cygwin seems to be broken for serial ports, but you can try it...
+screen /dev/ttyS2
(Might be a different file, ttyS0, ttyACM0, ttyUSB0, etc.)
Gnu screen doesn't seem to echo all the characters (it works though).
I believe it's a problem with stty, but I don't know how to fix it...
