Flashing

ps2avr(GB) boards use an atmega32a microcontroller and a different bootloader. It is not flashable using the regular QMK methods.

Windows:

  1. Download HIDBootFlash.
  2. Place your keyboard into reset by holding the left control key and plugging the cable in.
  3. Press the Find Device button and ensure that your keyboard is found.
  4. Press the Open .hex File button and locate the .hex file you created.
  5. Press the Flash Device button and wait for the process to complete.

macOS:

  1. Install homebrew by typing the following:

    /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
    
  2. Install crosspack-avr.

    brew cask install crosspack-avr
    
  3. Install the following packages:

    brew install python
    brew install pyusb
    brew install --HEAD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robertgzr/homebrew-tap/master/bootloadhid.rb
    
    
  4. Place your keyboard into reset.

  5. Flash the board by typing bootloadHID -r followed by the path to your .hex file.
