+# More Detailed `make` Instructions
The full syntax of the `make` command is `<keyboard_folder>:<keymap>:<target>`, where:
* `<keyboard_folder>` is the path of the keyboard, for example `planck`
* Use `all` to compile all keyboards
- * Specify the path to compile a revision, for example `planck/rev4` or `planck/rev3`
+ * Specify the path to compile a revision, for example `planck/rev4` or `planck/rev3`
* If the keyboard doesn't have any folders, it can be left out
* To compile the default folder, you can leave it out
* `<keymap>` is the name of the keymap, for example `algernon`
The `<target>` means the following
* If no target is given, then it's the same as `all` below
-* `all` compiles as many keyboard/revision/keymap combinations as specified. For example, `make planck/rev4:default:all` will generate a single .hex, while `make planck/rev4:all` will generate a hex for every keymap available to the planck.
-* `dfu`, `teensy` or `dfu-util`, compile and upload the firmware to the keyboard. If the compilation fails, then nothing will be uploaded. The programmer to use depends on the keyboard. For most keyboards it's `dfu`, but for ChibiOS keyboards you should use `dfu-util`, and `teensy` for standard Teensys. To find out which command you should use for your keyboard, check the keyboard specific readme.

* **Note**: some operating systems need root access for these commands to work, so in that case you need to run for example `sudo make planck/rev4:default:dfu`.
* `clean`, cleans the build output folders to make sure that everything is built from scratch. Run this before normal compilation if you have some unexplainable problems.
Here are some examples commands
* `make all:all` builds everything (all keyboard folders, all keymaps). Running just `make` from the `root` will also run this.
-* `make ergodox_infinity:algernon:clean` will clean the build output of the Ergodox Infinity keyboard.
+* `make ergodox_infinity:algernon:clean` will clean the build output of the Ergodox Infinity keyboard.
* `make planck/rev4:default:dfu COLOR=false` builds and uploads the keymap without color output.

Set these variables to `no` to disable them, and `yes` to enable them.
`CONSOLE_ENABLE`
-This allows you to print messages that can be read using [`hid_listen`](https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/hid_listen.html).
+This allows you to print messages that can be read using [`hid_listen`](https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/hid_listen.html).
-By default, all debug (*dprint*) print (*print*, *xprintf*), and user print (*uprint*) messages will be enabled. This will eat up a significant portion of the flash and may make the keyboard .hex file too big to program.
+By default, all debug (*dprint*) print (*print*, *xprintf*), and user print (*uprint*) messages will be enabled. This will eat up a significant portion of the flash and may make the keyboard .hex file too big to program.
To disable debug messages (*dprint*) and reduce the .hex file size, include `#define NO_DEBUG` in your `config.h` file.
To see the text, open `hid_listen` and enjoy looking at your printed messages.
-**NOTE:** Do not include *uprint* messages in anything other than your keymap code. It must not be used within the QMK system framework. Otherwise, you will bloat other people's .hex files.

`UNICODE_ENABLE`
-This allows you to send unicode symbols via `UC(<unicode>)` in your keymap. Only codes up to 0x7FFF are currently supported.
+This allows you to send Unicode characters using `UC(<code point>)` in your keymap. Code points up to `0x7FFF` are supported. This covers characters for most modern languages, as well as symbols, but it doesn't cover emoji.
`UNICODEMAP_ENABLE`
-This allows sending unicode symbols using `X(<unicode>)` in your keymap. Codes
-up to 0xFFFFFFFF are supported, including emojis. You will need to maintain
-a separate mapping table in your keymap file.
+This allows you to send Unicode characters using `X(<map index>)` in your keymap. You will need to maintain a mapping table in your keymap file. All possible code points (up to `0x10FFFF`) are supported.
-Known limitations:
-- Under Mac OS, only codes up to 0xFFFF are supported.
-- Under Linux ibus, only codes up to 0xFFFFF are supported (but anything important is still under this limit for now).
+`UCIS_ENABLE`
-Characters out of range supported by the OS will be ignored.
+This allows you to send Unicode characters by inputting a mnemonic corresponding to the character you want to send. You will need to maintain a mapping table in your keymap file. All possible code points (up to `0x10FFFF`) are supported.
+
+For further details, as well as limitations, see the [Unicode page](feature_unicode.md).
`BLUETOOTH_ENABLE`
`FAUXCLICKY_ENABLE`
-Uses buzzer to emulate clicky switches. A cheap imitation of the Cherry blue switches. By default, uses the C6 pin, same as AUDIO_ENABLE.

`VARIABLE_TRACE`
This enables [key lock](feature_key_lock.md). This consumes an additional 260 bytes.
-## Customizing Makefile options on a per-keymap basis
+`SPLIT_KEYBOARD`
+
+This enables split keyboard support (dual MCU like the let's split and bakingpy's boards) and includes all necessary files located at quantum/split_common
+
+`SPLIT_TRANSPORT`
+
+As there is no standard split communication driver for ARM-based split keyboards yet, `SPLIT_TRANSPORT = custom` must be used for these. It will prevent the standard split keyboard communication code (which is AVR-specific) from being included, allowing a custom implementation to be used.
+
+`CUSTOM_MATRIX`
+
+Lets you replace the default matrix scanning routine with your own code. You will need to provide your own implementations of matrix_init() and matrix_scan().
+
+`DEBOUNCE_TYPE`
+
+Lets you replace the default key debouncing routine with an alternative one. If `custom` you will need to provide your own implementation.
+
+## Customizing Makefile Options on a Per-Keymap Basis
If your keymap directory has a file called `rules.mk` any options you set in that file will take precedence over other `rules.mk` options for your particular keyboard.
