# Pearl 40%
Pearl 40% is a keyboard designed by Koobaczech. It uses an Atmel
ATMEGA32A MCU.
Keyboard Maintainer: [Ethan Madden](https://github.com/jetpacktuxedo)
Hardware Supported: Pearl
Hardware Availability: [Geekhack Group Buy](https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=92259.0)
Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
make pearl:default
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](http://vusb.wikidot.com/project: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.
