It uses an Atmel -ATMEGA32A MCU. - -## Compiling and flashing - -These instructions are for building and flashing your Pearl 40% without -Bootmapper Client. - -### Requirements - -#### Windows - -(to be written, help needed) - -#### Mac - -Apart from regular QMK and AVR dependencies you need to install -`bootloadHID`. You can install it with `homebrew` as follows: - - $ brew install --HEAD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robertgzr/homebrew-tap/master/bootloadhid.rb - -If you don't use `homebrew` you can try following the compiling -instructions defined below in the Linux section. - -#### Linux - -For Linux you require all regular QMK dependencies, but make sure you're -using `gcc-avr` version 4.9 or higher. 4.8 and lower do not contain the -proper definitions for ATMEGA32A MCUs and QMK will fail while attempting -to compile a HEX for Pearl 40%. - -E.g. you cannot compile Pearl 40% HEX on a regular Ubuntu 14.04 as -`gcc-avr` version is maxed to 4.8 on it. - -Additionally you need an operational `bootloadHID` binary. - -You can install `bootloadHID` by taking the following steps: - - $ git clone https://github.com/robertgzr/bootloadHID ~/tmp/bootloadHIDsrc - $ cd ~/tmp/bootloadHIDsrc/commandline - $ make VENDORID=0x16c0 PRODUCTID=0x05DF # vid and pid for atmega32a - $ chmod +x bootloadHID && cp bootloadHID /usr/bin/bootloadHID - -Running `which bootloadHID` should return `/usr/bin/bootloadHID`. - -### Compiling - -Enter the QMK root directory and compile a keymap with the following -command: - - $ make pearl:<keymap> - -where `<keymap>` is a layout directory under the `pearl` directory. - -QMK should compile a HEX (called `pearl_<keymap>.hex`) for you, which -you can flash using `bootloadHID`. - -### Flashing - -To enable Pearl 40% bootloading mode, unplug the keyboard, then plug it -in while holding `Esc` at the same time (the top-leftmost switch on the -PCB, next to the USB connector). Once the board is in bootload mode, -issue the following command (you might require `sudo` to perform the -command): - - # assuming we're still in the QMK root dir where you compiled a HEX into - $ bootloadHID -r ./pearl_<keymap>.hex - -You should see something similar to - - > Page size = <value> - > Device size = <value>; <value> remaining - > Uploading <value> bytes starting at 0 (0x0) - > <value> ... <current value> - -where `<current value>` should be slowly increasing as the HEX is being -flashed to the board. If there is some warning about `resource busy` it -should still work OK. - -Once done the board underglow should turn red and the new firmware has -been flashed. If you can't type on the board try plugging it in again -(without holding any keys to prevent accidentally setting it into -bootload mode again). |
