Flashing

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

Reset Key: Hold down the key located at K00.

Windows:

1. Download HIDBootFlash.
2. Place your keyboard into reset.
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 python3
   pip3 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.

Please Note: You will need to use the EEP_RST keycode first, followed by unplugging/replugging the board to get RGB underglow effects to work.
