# BootloadHID Flashing Instructions and Bootloader Information
|
|
|
|
ps2avr(GB) boards use an ATmega32A microcontroller and a different bootloader. It is not flashable using the regular QMK methods.
|
|
|
|
General flashing sequence:
|
|
|
|
1. Enter the bootloader using any of the following methods:
|
|
* Tap the `RESET` keycode (may not work on all devices)
|
|
* Hold the salt key while plugging the keyboard in (usually documented within keyboard readme)
|
|
2. Wait for the OS to detect the device
|
|
3. Flash a .hex file
|
|
4. Reset the device into application mode (may be done automatically)
|
|
|
|
## bootloadHID Flashing Target
|
|
|
|
?> Using the QMK installation script, detailed [here](newbs_getting_started.md), the required bootloadHID tools should be automatically installed.
|
|
|
|
To flash via the command line, use the target `:bootloadhid` by executing the following command:
|
|
|
|
make <keyboard>:<keymap>:bootloadhid
|
|
|
|
## GUI Flashing
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
1. Download [HIDBootFlash](http://vusb.wikidot.com/project:hidbootflash).
|
|
2. Place your keyboard into reset.
|
|
3. Ensure the configured VendorID is `16c0` and ProductID is `05df`
|
|
4. Press the `Find Device` button and ensure that your keyboard is found.
|
|
5. Press the `Open .hex File` button and locate the `.hex` file you created.
|
|
6. Press the `Flash Device` button and wait for the process to complete.
|
|
|
|
## Command Line Flashing
|
|
|
|
1. Place your keyboard into reset.
|
|
2. Flash the board by typing `bootloadHID -r` followed by the path to your `.hex` file.
|
|
|
|
### Windows Manual Installation
|
|
For MSYS2:
|
|
1. Download the BootloadHID firmware package from https://www.obdev.at/downloads/vusb/bootloadHID.2012-12-08.tar.gz.
|
|
2. Extract contents using a compatible tool, for example 7-Zip.
|
|
3. Add to the MSYS path by copying `commandline/bootloadHID.exe` from the extracted archive to your MSYS2 installation, typically `C:\msys64\usr\bin`.
|
|
|
|
For native Windows flashing, the `bootloadHID.exe` can be used outside of the MSYS2 environment.
