# This guide has now been included in the main readme - please reference that one instead.
|
||||
|
||||
## Build Environment Setup
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows (Vista and later)
|
||||
1. If you have ever installed WinAVR, uninstall it.
|
||||
2. Install [MHV AVR Tools](https://infernoembedded.com/sites/default/files/project/MHV_AVR_Tools_20131101.exe). Disable smatch, but **be sure to leave the option to add the tools to the PATH checked**.
|
||||
3. Install [MinGW](https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/mingw-get-setup.exe/download). During installation, uncheck the option to install a graphical user interface. **DO NOT change the default installation folder.** The scripts depend on the default location.
|
||||
4. Clone this repository. [This link will download it as a zip file, which you'll need to extract.](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/archive/master.zip) Open the extracted folder in Windows Explorer.
|
||||
5. Double-click on the 1-setup-path-win batch script to run it. You'll need to accept a User Account Control prompt. Press the spacebar to dismiss the success message in the command prompt that pops up.
|
||||
6. Right-click on the 2-setup-environment-win batch script, select "Run as administrator", and accept the User Account Control prompt. This part may take a couple of minutes, and you'll need to approve a driver installation, but once it finishes, your environment is complete!
|
||||
7. Future build commands should be run from the standard Windows command prompt, which you can find by searching for "command prompt" from the start menu or start screen. Ignore the "MHV AVR Shell".
|
||||
|
||||
### Mac
|
||||
If you're using [homebrew,](http://brew.sh/) you can use the following commands:
|
||||
|
||||
brew tap osx-cross/avr
|
||||
brew install avr-libc
|
||||
brew install dfu-programmer
|
||||
|
||||
This is the recommended method. If you don't have homebrew, [install it!](http://brew.sh/) It's very much worth it for anyone who works in the command line.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also try these instructions:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install Xcode from the App Store.
|
||||
2. Install the Command Line Tools from `Xcode->Preferences->Downloads`.
|
||||
3. Install [DFU-Programmer][dfu-prog].
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
Install AVR GCC, AVR libc, and dfu-progammer with your favorite package manager.
|
||||
|
||||
Debian/Ubuntu example:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install gcc-avr avr-libc dfu-programmer
|
||||
|
||||
### Vagrant
|
||||
If you have any problems building the firmware, you can try using a tool called Vagrant. It will set up a virtual computer with a known configuration that's ready-to-go for firmware building. OLKB does NOT host the files for this virtual computer. Details on how to set up Vagrant are in the [vagrant guide](vagrant_guide.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## Verify Your Installation
|
||||
1. If you haven't already, obtain this repository ([https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware)). You can either download it as a zip file and extract it, or clone it using the command line tool git or the Github Desktop application.
|
||||
2. Open up a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the `qmk_firmware` folder using the `cd` command. The command prompt will typically open to your home directory. If, for example, you cloned the repository to your Documents folder, then you would type `cd Documents/qmk_firmware`. If you extracted the file from a zip, then it may be named `qmk_firmware-master` instead.
|
||||
3. To confirm that you're in the correct location, you can display the contents of your current folder using the `dir` command on Windows, or the `ls` command on Linux or Mac. You should see several files, including `readme.md` and a `quantum` folder. From here, you need to navigate to the appropriate folder under `keyboards/`. For example, if you're building for a Planck, run `cd keyboards/planck`.
|
||||
4. Once you're in the correct keyboard-specific folder, run the `make` command. This should output a lot of information about the build process. More information about the `make` command can be found below.
|
||||
|
||||
## Customizing, Building, and Deploying Your Firmware
|
||||
|
||||
### The Make command
|
||||
|
||||
The `make` command is how you compile the firmware into a .hex file, which can be loaded by a dfu programmer (like dfu-progammer via `make dfu`) or the [Teensy loader](https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader.html) (only used with Teensys). You can run `make` from the root (`/`), your keyboard folder (`/keyboards/<keyboard>/`), or your keymap folder (`/keyboards/<keyboard>/keymaps/<keymap>/`) if you have a `Makefile` there (see the example [here](/doc/keymap_makefile_example.mk)).
|
||||
|
||||
By default, this will generate a `<keyboard>_<keymap>.hex` file in whichever folder you run `make` from. These files are ignored by git, so don't worry about deleting them when committing/creating pull requests.
|
||||
|
||||
* The "root" (`/`) folder is the qmk_firmware folder, in which are `doc`, `keyboard`, `quantum`, etc.
|
||||
* The "keyboard" folder is any keyboard project's folder, like `/keyboards/planck`.
|
||||
* The "keymap" folder is any keymap's folder, like `/keyboards/planck/keymaps/default`.
|
||||
|
||||
Below is a list of the useful `make` commands in QMK:
|
||||
|
||||
* `make` - cleans automatically and builds your keyboard and keymap depending on which folder you're in. This defaults to the "default" layout (unless in a keymap folder), and Planck keyboard in the root folder
|
||||
* `make keyboard=<keyboard>` - specifies the keyboard (only to be used in root)
|
||||
* `make keymap=<keymap>` - specifies the keymap (only to be used in root and keyboard folder - not needed when in keymap folder)
|
||||
* `make quick` - skips the clean step (cannot be used immediately after modifying config.h or Makefiles)
|
||||
* `make dfu` - (requires dfu-programmer) builds and flashes the keymap to your keyboard once placed in reset/dfu mode (button or press `KC_RESET`). This does not work for Teensy-based keyboards like the ErgoDox EZ.
|
||||
* `keyboard=` and `keymap=` are compatible with this
|
||||
* `make all-keyboards` - builds all keymaps for all keyboards and outputs status of each (use in root)
|
||||
* `make all-keyboards-default` - builds all default keymaps for all keyboards and outputs status of each (use in root)
|
||||
* `make all-keymaps [keyboard=<keyboard>]` - builds all of the keymaps for whatever keyboard folder you're in, or specified by `<keyboard>`
|
||||
* `make all-keyboards-quick`, `make all-keyboards-default-quick` and `make all-keymaps-quick [keyboard=<keyboard>]` - like the normal "make-all-*" commands, but they skip the clean steps
|
||||
|
||||
Other, less useful functionality:
|
||||
|
||||
* `make COLOR=false` - turns off color output
|
||||
* `make SILENT=true` - turns off output besides errors/warnings
|
||||
* `make VERBOSE=true` - outputs all of the avr-gcc stuff (not interesting)
|
||||
|
||||
### The Makefile
|
||||
|
||||
There are 3 different `make` and `Makefile` locations:
|
||||
|
||||
* root (`/`)
|
||||
* keyboard (`/keyboards/<keyboard>/`)
|
||||
* keymap (`/keyboards/<keyboard>/keymaps/<keymap>/`)
|
||||
|
||||
The root contains the code used to automatically figure out which keymap or keymaps to compile based on your current directory and commandline arguments. It's considered stable, and shouldn't be modified. The keyboard one will contain the MCU set-up and default settings for your keyboard, and shouldn't be modified unless you are the producer of that keyboard. The keymap Makefile can be modified by users, and is optional. It is included automatically if it exists. You can see an example [here](/doc/keymap_makefile_example.mk) - the last few lines are the most important. The settings you set here will override any defaults set in the keyboard Makefile. **It is required if you want to run `make` in the keymap folder.**
|
||||
|
||||
### The `config.h` file
|
||||
|
||||
There are 2 `config.h` locations:
|
||||
|
||||
* keyboard (`/keyboards/<keyboard>/`)
|
||||
* keymap (`/keyboards/<keyboard>/keymaps/<keymap>/`)
|
||||
|
||||
The keyboard `config.h` is included only if the keymap one doesn't exist. The format to use for your custom one [is here](/doc/keymap_config_h_example.h). If you want to override a setting from the parent `config.h` file, you need to do this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
#undef MY_SETTING
|
||||
#define MY_SETTING 4
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For a value of `4` for this imaginary setting. So we `undef` it first, then `define` it.
|
||||
|
||||
You can then override any settings, rather than having to copy and paste the whole thing.

#Planck Advanced (but not too advanced) `cygwin` Users Guide
|
||||
If you are a user of the [cygwin environment](https://cygwin.com) in Windows and want the freedom to use the latest tools available, then this is the guide for you. If compiling your own copy of the latest and greatest Gnu C Compiler makes you super happy, then this is the guide for you. If the command line make you smile, then this is the guide for you.
|
||||
|
||||
This guide was written step by step as I went through the process on a `Windows 10` `x86_64` and a `Windows 7` `amd k10` based system. This should be generally applicable to to any `Windows` environment with `cygwin`.
|
||||
|
||||
#####Do not skip steps. Do not move past a step until the previous step finishes successfully.
|
||||
|
||||
Based on [avr-libc installation guide](http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-manual/install_tools.html)
|
||||
|
||||
##Get the Required Packages
|
||||
Download the `cygwin` setup ([x86_64](https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe)) and install the default system plus the following if they are not already selected:
|
||||
- devel/git
|
||||
- devel/gcc-core
|
||||
- devel/gcc-g++
|
||||
- devel/flex
|
||||
- devel/bison
|
||||
- devel/make
|
||||
- devel/texinfo
|
||||
- devel/gettext-devel
|
||||
- devel/automake
|
||||
- devel/autoconfig
|
||||
- devel/libtool
|
||||
- text/gettext
|
||||
- libs/libgcc1
|
||||
- interpreters/m4
|
||||
- web/wget
|
||||
- archive/unzip
|
||||
|
||||
The following sources will be required:
|
||||
- [gmp](https://gmplib.org/) (6.1.0)
|
||||
- [mpfr](http://www.mpfr.org/) (3.1.4)
|
||||
- [mpc](http://www.multiprecision.org/) (1.0.3)
|
||||
- [binutils](https://www.sourceware.org/binutils/) (2.26)
|
||||
- [gcc](https://gcc.gnu.org/) (5.3.0)
|
||||
- [avr-libc](http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/) (2.0.0)
|
||||
|
||||
The `dfu-programmer` will be required to flash the new firmware
|
||||
- [dfu-programmer](https://dfu-programmer.github.io/) (0.7.2)
|
||||
|
||||
The set of commands below will create a directory (`~/local/avr`) for the sources you compile to be installed on the machine and a directory (`~/src`) for these source files to be stored. The commands then download the sources of the needed packages and unpack them. Note: the expand commands are different depending on if the packages are offered as a `bz2` or `gz` archive
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ mkdir ~/local
|
||||
$ mkdir ~/local/avr
|
||||
$ mkdir ~/src
|
||||
$ cd ~/src
|
||||
$ wget https://gmplib.org/download/gmp/gmp-6.1.0.tar.bz2
|
||||
$ wget http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-3.1.4/mpfr-3.1.4.tar.bz2
|
||||
$ wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mpc/mpc-1.0.3.tar.gz
|
||||
$ wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.26.tar.gz
|
||||
$ wget http://mirror0.babylon.network/gcc/releases/gcc-5.3.0/gcc-5.3.0.tar.gz
|
||||
$ wget http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/avr-libc/avr-libc-2.0.0.tar.bz2
|
||||
$ tar -xjf gmp-6.1.0.tar.bz2
|
||||
$ tar -xjf mpfr-3.1.4.tar.bz2
|
||||
$ tar -zxf mpc-1.0.3.tar.gz
|
||||
$ tar -zxf binutils-2.26.tar.gz
|
||||
$ tar -zxf gcc-5.3.0.tar.gz
|
||||
$ tar -xjf avr-libc-2.0.0.tar.bz2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##Setup the Build Environment
|
||||
These commands will set up the install directory and the `PATH` variable, which will allow you to access your installed packages. Note: if you close the `cygwin` terminal window, you will need to rerun these commands, they are not permanent.
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ PREFIX=$HOME/local/avr
|
||||
$ export PREFIX
|
||||
$ PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/include:/bin:/lib:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS
|
||||
$ PATH=$PATH:$PREFIX/bin:$PREFIX/lib
|
||||
$ export PATH
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##The `gcc` Required Math Library Packages
|
||||
The following packages are required to be complied and installed in order to compile `gcc`. They are not sufficiently available through the `cygwin` package system, so we have to make them ourselves. They must be complied in this order because each one depends on the previous. Verfiy that for each package, `make check` returns all passing and no fails.
|
||||
|
||||
###Build and Install `gmp`
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd ~/src/gmp-6.1.0
|
||||
$ ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
$ make check
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
###Build and Install `mpfr`
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd ~/src/mpfr-3.1.4
|
||||
$ ./configure --with-gmp-build=../gmp-6.1.0 --enable-static --disable-shared
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
$ make check
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
###Build and Install `mpc`
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd ~/src/mpc-1.0.3
|
||||
$ ./configure --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local --enable-static --disable-shared
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
$ make check
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##OPTIONAL Part
|
||||
You can build and install a brand new `gcc` or you can use the one supplied by `cygwin`. This will take about 4-5 hours to compile (It is a "native build", so it does the entire build **3 times**. This takes a long while).
|
||||
|
||||
###Build and Install `gcc` for Your Machine
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd ~/src/gcc-5.3.0
|
||||
$ mkdir obj-local
|
||||
$ cd obj-local
|
||||
$ ../configure --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local --with-mpc=/usr/local --enable-static --disable-shared
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
##End OPTIONAL Part
|
||||
|
||||
###Build and Install `binutils` for Your Machine
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd ~/src/binutils-2.26
|
||||
$ mkdir obj-local
|
||||
$ cd obj-local
|
||||
$ ../configure
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##Buliding `binutils`, `gcc`, and `avr-libc` for the AVR system
|
||||
Now we can make the critical stuff for compiling our firmware: `binutils`, `gcc`, and `avr-libc` for the AVR architecture. These allow us to build and manipulate the firmware for the keyboard.
|
||||
|
||||
###Build `binutils` for AVR
|
||||
If you plan to build and install `avr-gdb` also, use the `gdb` install at the end of this guide as it also builds the `binutils`
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd ~/src/binutils-2.26
|
||||
$ mkdir obj-avr
|
||||
$ cd obj-avr
|
||||
$ ../configure --prefix=$PREFIX --target=avr --disable-nls
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
###Build `gcc` for AVR
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd ~/src/gcc-5.3.0
|
||||
$ mkdir obj-avr
|
||||
$ cd obj-avr
|
||||
$ ../configure --prefix=$PREFIX --target=avr --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local --with-mpc=/usr/local --enable-static --disable-shared --disable-nls --disable-libssp --with-dwarf2
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
###Build `avr-libc` for AVR
|
||||
For building the `avr-libc`, we have to specify the host build system. In my case it is `x86_64-unknown-cygwin`. You can look for build system type in the `gcc` configure notes for the proper `--build` specification to pass when you configure `avr-libc`.
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd ~/src/avr-libc-2.0.0
|
||||
$ ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX --build=x86_64-unknown-cygwin --host=avr
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##Building 'dfu-programmer' for flashing the firmware via USB and installing the drivers
|
||||
We can either build our own, or use the precomplied binaries. The precompiled binaries don't play well with `cygwin` so it is better to build them ourselves. The procedure for the precompiled binaries is included at the end of this guide.
|
||||
|
||||
### Build and Install the `libusb`
|
||||
The `dfu-programmer` requires `libusb` so that it can interact with the USB system. These repos must be bootstrapped in order to create an appropriate `./configure` and `Makefile` for your system.
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd ~/src
|
||||
$ git clone https://github.com/libusb/libusb.git
|
||||
$ cd libusb
|
||||
$ ./bootstrap.sh
|
||||
$ ./configure
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Build and Install the `dfu-programmer`
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd ~/src
|
||||
$ git clone https://github.com/dfu-programmer/dfu-programmer.git
|
||||
$ cd dfu-programmer
|
||||
$ ./bootstrap.sh
|
||||
$ ./configure
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Verify the installation with:
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ which dfu-programmer
|
||||
/usr/local/bin/dfu-programmer
|
||||
|
||||
$ dfu-programmer
|
||||
dfu-programmer 0.7.2
|
||||
https://github.com/dfu-programmer/dfu-programmer
|
||||
Type 'dfu-programmer --help' for a list of commands
|
||||
'dfu-programmer --targets' to list supported target devices
|
||||
```
|
||||
If you are not getting the above result, you will not be able to flash the firmware!
|
||||
|
||||
###Install the USB drivers
|
||||
The drivers are included in the windows binary version of [`dfu-programmer` 0.7.2](http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/dfu-programmer/dfu-programmer/0.7.2/dfu-programmer-win-0.7.2.zip).
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd ~/src
|
||||
$ wget http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/dfu-programmer/dfu-programmer/0.7.2/dfu-programmer-win-0.7.2.zip
|
||||
$ unzip dfu-programmer-win-0.7.2.zip -d dfu-programmer-win-0.7.2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
The official drivers are found in [Atmel's `FLIP` installer](http://www.atmel.com/images/Flip%20Installer%20-%203.4.7.112.exe). Download and then install `FLIP`. Upon installation, the drivers will be found in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Atmel\Flip 3.4.7\usb`.
|
||||
|
||||
Then, from an **administrator-privileged** `Windows` terminal, run the following command (adjust the path for username, etc. as necessary) and accept the prompt that pops up:
|
||||
```
|
||||
C:\> pnputil -i -a C:\cygwin64\home\Kevin\src\dfu-programmer-win-0.7.2\dfu-prog-usb-1.2.2\atmel_usb_dfu.inf
|
||||
or
|
||||
C:\> pnputil -i -a "C:\Program Files (x86)\Atmel\Flip 3.4.7\usb\atmel_usb_dfu.inf"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This should be the result:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Microsoft PnP Utility
|
||||
|
||||
Processing inf : atmel_usb_dfu.inf
|
||||
Successfully installed the driver on a device on the system.
|
||||
Driver package added successfully.
|
||||
Published name : oem104.inf
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Total attempted: 1
|
||||
Number successfully imported: 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, the `Windows` driver can be installed when prompted by `Windows` when the keyboard is attached. Do not let `Windows` search for a driver; specify the path to search for a driver and point it to the `atmel_usb_dfu.inf` file.
|
||||
|
||||
##Building and Flashing the Planck firmware!
|
||||
If you did everything else right. This part should be a snap! Grab the latest sources from `github`, make the Plank firmware, then flash it.
|
||||
|
||||
###Build Planck and Load the Firmware
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd ~/src
|
||||
$ git clone https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware.git
|
||||
$ cd qmk_firmware/keyboards/planck
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure there are no errors. You should end up with this or something similar:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Creating load file for Flash: planck.hex
|
||||
avr-objcopy -O ihex -R .eeprom -R .fuse -R .lock -R .signature planck.elf planck.hex
|
||||
|
||||
Creating load file for EEPROM: planck.eep
|
||||
avr-objcopy -j .eeprom --set-section-flags=.eeprom="alloc,load" \
|
||||
--change-section-lma .eeprom=0 --no-change-warnings -O ihex planck.elf planck.eep || exit 0
|
||||
|
||||
Creating Extended Listing: planck.lss
|
||||
avr-objdump -h -S -z planck.elf > planck.lss
|
||||
|
||||
Creating Symbol Table: planck.sym
|
||||
avr-nm -n planck.elf > planck.sym
|
||||
|
||||
Size after:
|
||||

If you do not get the above, you **did not** build the firmware, and you will have nothing to flash. If you have the fresh clone from `github`, it was probably something gone wrong in this install process, go check and see what didn't work and threw errors or what steps you might have missed.
|
||||
|
||||
But if everything went OK, you are ready to flash! Press the reset button on the bottom of the Planck, wait two seconds, then:
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ make dfu
|

```

###Installing Precompiled `dfu-programmer` Binaries (not recommended for `cygwin`)
|
||||
To install the `dfu-programmer` from the binaries, we must get if from [the `dfu-programmer` website](https://dfu-programmer.github.io/) ([0.7.2](http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/dfu-programmer/dfu-programmer/0.7.2/dfu-programmer-win-0.7.2.zip)).
|
||||
|
||||
Copy this file into your `cygwin` home\src directory. (For me, it is `C:\cygwin64\home\Kevin\src`), extract the files, move `dfu-programmer.exe` to `~/local/avr/bin`. Most obnoxiously, the `libusb0_x86.dll` and `libusb0.sys` need to be moved from `./dfu-prog-usb-1.2.2/x86/` to a directory in the `Windows` `PATH` and the `cygwin` `PATH`. This is because the `dfu-programmer` binary is `mingw` based, not `cygwin` based, so the `dlls` do not cooperate. I achieved acceptable pathing by moving the files to `C:\cygwin64\home\Kevin\local\avr\bin` Then, in a `WINDOWS` command prompt running (Adjusting your path for username, etc. as needed):
|
||||
```
|
||||
C:\> set PATH=%PATH%;C:\cygwin64\home\Kevin\local\avr\bin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then, rename `libusb0_x86.dll` to `libusb0.dll`.
|
||||
|
||||
You can tell that you were successful by trying to execute 'dfu-programmer' from the 'cygwin' prompt:
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ which dfu-programmer
|
||||
/home/Kevin/local/avr/bin/dfu-programmer
|
||||
|
||||
$ dfu-programmer
|
||||
dfu-programmer 0.7.2
|
||||
https://github.com/dfu-programmer/dfu-programmer
|
||||
Type 'dfu-programmer --help' for a list of commands
|
||||
'dfu-programmer --targets' to list supported target devices
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you are not getting the above result, you will not be able to flash the firmware!
|
||||
- Try making sure your `PATH` variables are set correctly for both `Windows` and `cygwin`.
|
||||
- Make sure the `dll` is named correctly.
|
||||
- Do not extract it with `cygwin`'s `unzip` as it does not set the executable permission. If you did it anyway, do `chmod +x dfu-programmer.exe`.
|
||||
- Still have problems? Try building it instead.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
##Debugging Tools
|
||||
|
||||
These tools are for debugging your firmware, etc. before flashing. Theoretically, it can save your memory from wearing out. However, these tool do not work 100% for the Planck firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
### `gdb` for AVR
|
||||
`gdb` has a simulator for AVR but it does not support all instructions (like WDT), so it immediately crashes when running the Planck firmware (because `lufa.c` disables the WDT in the first few lines of execution). But it can still be useful in debugging example code and test cases, if you know how to use it.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd ~/src
|
||||
$ git clone git://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git
|
||||
$ cd binutils-gdb
|
||||
$ mkdir obj-avr
|
||||
$ cd obj-avr
|
||||
$ ../configure --prefix=$PREFIX --target=avr --build=x86_64-unknown-cygwin --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local --with-mpc=/usr/local --disable-nls --enable-static
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### `simulavr`
|
||||
`simulavr` is an AVR simulator. It runs the complied AVR elfs. `simulavr` does not support the `atmega32u4` device... it does `atmega32` but that is not good enough for the firmware (no PORTE and other things), so you cannot run the Planck firmware. I use it to simulate ideas I have for features in separate test projects.
|
||||
|
||||
This one is a major pain in the butt because it has a lot of dependencies and it is buggy. I will do my best to explain it but... it was hard to figure out. A few things need to be changed in the 'Makefile' to make it work in `cygwin`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd ~/src
|
||||
$ git clone https://github.com/Traumflug/simulavr.git
|
||||
$ cd simulavr
|
||||
$ ./bootstrap
|
||||
$ ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX --enable-static --disable-tcl --disable-doxygen-doc
|
||||
```
|
||||
Edit `src/Makefile.am` now so that `-no-undefined` is included (I did this by removing the SYS_MINGW conditional surrounding `libsim_la_LDFLAGS += -no-undefined` and `libsimulavr_la_LDFLAGS += -no-undefined \ libsimulavr_la_LIBADD += $(TCL_LIB)`. Also, `$(EXEEXT)` is added after `kbdgentables` in two places.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
TODO:
|
||||
- git repos for all sources
|
||||
- command line magic for cygwin setup
|
||||
- better options for `dfu-drivers`

[Eclipse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_(software)) is an open-source [Integrated Development Environment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_development_environment) (IDE) widely used for Java development, but with an extensible plugin system that allows to customize it for other languages and usages.
|
||||
|
||||
Using an IDE such as Eclipse provides many advantages over a plain text editor, such as:
|
||||
* intelligent code completion
|
||||
* convenient navigation in the code
|
||||
* refactoring tools
|
||||
* build automation (no need for the command-line)
|
||||
* a GUI for GIT
|
||||
* static code analysis
|
||||
* many other tools such as debugging, code formatting, showing call hierarchies etc.
|
||||
|
||||
The purpose of the is page is to document how to set-up Eclipse for developing AVR software, and working on the QMK code base.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that this set-up has been tested on Ubuntu 16.04 only for the moment.
|
||||
|
||||
# Prerequisites
|
||||
## Build environment
|
||||
Before starting, you must have followed the [Getting Started](home.md#getting-started) section corresponding to your system. In particular, you must have been able to build the firmware with [the `make` command](../#the-make-command).
|
||||
|
||||
## Java
|
||||
Eclipse is a Java application, so you will need to install Java 8 or more recent to be able to run it. You may choose between the JRE or the JDK, the latter being useful if you intend to do Java development.
|
||||
|
||||
# Install Eclipse and its plugins
|
||||
Eclipse comes in [several flavours](http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/) depending on the target usage that you will have. There is no package comprising the AVR stack, so we will need to start from Eclipse CDT (C/C++ Development Tooling) and install the necessary plugins.
|
||||
|
||||
## Download and install Eclipse CDT
|
||||
If you already have Eclipse CDT on your system, you can skip this step. However it is advised to keep it up-to-date for better support.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have another Eclipse package installed, it is normally possible to [install the CDT plugin over it](https://eclipse.org/cdt/downloads.php). However it is probably better to reinstall it from scratch to keep it light and avoid the clutter of tools that you don't need for the projects you will be working on.
|
||||
|
||||
Installation is very simple: follow the [5 Steps to Install Eclipse](https://eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/?show_instructions=TRUE), and choose **Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers** at Step 3.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can also directly [download Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers](http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/) ([direct link to current version](http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-cc-developers/neonr)) and extract the package to the location of your choice (this creates an `eclipse` folder).
|
||||
|
||||
## First Launch
|
||||
When installation is complete, click the <kbd>Launch</kbd> button. (If you extracted the package manually, open the Eclipse installation folder and double-click the `eclipse` executable)
|
||||
|
||||
When you are prompted with the Workspace Selector, select a directory that will hold Eclipse metadata and usually your projects. **Do not select the `qmk_firmware` directory**, this will be the project directory. Select the parent folder instead, or another (preferably empty) folder of your choice (the default is fine if you do not use it yet).
|
||||
|
||||
Once started, click the <kbd>Workbench</kbd> button at the top right to switch to the workbench view (there is a also checkbox at the bottom to skip the welcome screen at startup).
|
||||
|
||||
## Install the necessary plugins
|
||||
Note: you do not need to restart Eclipse after installing each plugin. Simply restart once all plugins are installed.
|
||||
|
||||
### [The AVR plugin](http://avr-eclipse.sourceforge.net/)
|
||||
This is the most important plugin as it will allow Eclipse to _understand_ AVR C code. Follow [the instructions for using the update site](http://avr-eclipse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Plugin_Download#Update_Site), and agree with the security warning for unsigned content.
|
||||
|
||||
### [ANSI Escape in Console](https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/ansi-escape-console)
|
||||
This plugin is necessary to properly display the colored build output generated by the QMK makefile.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open <kbd><kbd>Help</kbd> > <kbd>Eclipse Marketplace…</kbd></kbd>
|
||||
2. Search for _ANSI Escape in Console_
|
||||
3. Click the <samp>Install</samp> button of the plugin
|
||||
4. Follow the instructions and agree again with the security warning for unsigned content.
|
||||
|
||||
Once both plugins are installed, restart Eclipse as prompted.
|
||||
|
||||
# Configure Eclipse for QMK
|
||||
## Importing the project
|
||||
1. Click <kbd><kbd>File</kbd> > <kbd>New</kbd> > <kbd>Makefile Project with Existing Code</kbd></kbd>
|
||||
2. On the next screen:
|
||||
* Select the directory where you cloned the repository as _Existing Code Location_;
|
||||
* (Optional) Give a different name to the project¹, e.g. _QMK_ or _Quantum_;
|
||||
* Select the _AVR-GCC Toolchain_;
|
||||
* Keep the rest as-is and click <kbd>Finish</kbd>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. The project will now be loaded and indexed. Its files can be browsed easily through the _Project Explorer_ on the left.
|
||||
|
||||
¹ There might be issues for importing the project with a custom name. If it does not work properly, try leaving the default project name (i.e. the name of the directory, probably `qmk_firmware`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Build your keyboard
|
||||
We will now configure a make target that cleans the project and builds the keymap of your choice.
|
||||
|
||||
1. On the right side of the screen, select the <kbd>Make Target</kbd> tab
|
||||
2. Expand the folder structure to the keyboard of your choice, e.g. `qmk_firmware/keyboards/ergodox`
|
||||
3. Right-click on the keyboard folder and select <kbd>New…</kbd> (or select the folder and click the <kbd>New Make Target</kbd> icon above the tree)
|
||||
4. Choose a name for your build target, e.g. _clean \<your keymap\>_
|
||||
5. Make Target: this is the arguments that you give to `make` when building from the command line. If your target name does not match these arguments, uncheck <kbd>Same as target name</kbd> and input the correct arguments, e.g. `clean <your keymap>`
|
||||
6. Leave the other options checked and click <kbd>OK</kbd>. Your make target will now appear under the selected keyboard.
|
||||
7. (Optional) Toggle the <kbd>Hide Empty Folders</kbd> icon button above the targets tree to only show your build target.
|
||||
8. Double-click the build target you created to trigger a build.
|
||||
9. Select the <kbd>Console</kbd> view at the bottom to view the running build.

# WARNING: Until issue [#173](https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/173) goes through, the [core][1] repository will not be up-to-date with the latest changes and fixes, but can still be used.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use TMK for your own keyboard project, you've got three options for embedding the [core][1].
|
||||
The recommended option is [subtrees](#1-git-subtree).
|
||||
|
||||
After adding the embed you'll need to [modify the Makefile](#modifications-to-the-makefile) of your project to point to the core correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. git subtree
|
||||
|
||||
In order to set up the subtree in your project, first add the core repository as a remote:
|
||||
```
|
||||
git remote add -f core https://github.com/tmk/tmk_core
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then add the core as a subtree (directory) in your local repository:
|
||||
```
|
||||
git subtree add -P tmk_core core master --squash
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And that's it!
|
||||
|
||||
When you want to update the subtree in your repository to match the master on [tmk_core][1], do this:
|
||||
```
|
||||
git subtree pull -P tmk_core core master --squash
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. git submodule
|
||||
|
||||
In order to set up the submodule in your project, first add a new submodule:
|
||||
```
|
||||
git submodule add https://github.com/tmk/tmk_core tmk_core
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then pull, sync and update the submodule:
|
||||
```
|
||||
git pull
|
||||
git submodule sync --recursive
|
||||
git submodule update --init --recursive
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And that's it!
|
||||
|
||||
When you want to update the subtree in your repository to match the master on [tmk_core][1], follow the same steps as above.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to clone a repository from GitHub that has submodule(s) in it, pass <kbd>--recursive</kbd> when cloning, like so:
|
||||
`git clone --recursive https://github.com/<username>/<repository>`
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Manually (without git)
|
||||
|
||||
*Note: This is not recommended in any way, but it's still possible.*
|
||||
|
||||
Download a zipped version of the [tmk_core][1] repository using this link:
|
||||
<https://github.com/tmk/tmk_core/archive/master.zip>
|
||||
|
||||
Extract the zip in your project's directory, then rename the folder to <kbd>tmk_core</kbd>.
|
||||
|
||||
## Modifications to the *Makefile*
|
||||
|
||||
The one thing you have to make sure to change in the *Makefile* (compared to [tmk_keyboard](https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard) drivers' *[Makefile](https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/blob/master/keyboard/gh60/Makefile#L45)*) is the "TMK_DIR" variable, which needs to point to the embed directory:
|
||||
```Makefile
|
||||
TMK_DIR = ./tmk_core
|
||||
```

# Quantum Hand-wiring Guide
|
||||
|
||||
Parts list:
|
||||
* *x* keyswitches (MX, Matias, Gateron, etc)
|
||||
* *x* diodes
|
||||
* Keyboard plate (metal, plastic, cardboard, etc)
|
||||
* Wire (strained for wiring to the Teensy, anything for the rows/columns)
|
||||
* Soldering iron set at 600ºF or 315ºC (if temperature-controlled)
|
||||
* Resin-cored solder (leaded or lead-free)
|
||||
* Adequate ventilation/a fan
|
||||
* Tweezers (optional)
|
||||
* Wire cutters/snippers
|
||||
|
||||
## How the matrix works (why we need diodes)
|
||||
|
||||
The microcontroller (in this case, the Teensy 2.0) will be setup up via the firmware to send a logical 1 to the columns, one at a time, and read from the rows, all at once - this process is called matrix scanning. The matrix is a bunch of open switches that, by default, don't allow any current to pass through - the firmware will read this as no keys being pressed. As soon as you press one key down, the logical 1 that was coming from the column the keyswitch is attached to gets passed through the switch and to the corresponding row - check out the following 2x2 example:
|
||||
|
||||
Column 0 being scanned Column 1 being scanned
|
||||
x x
|
||||
col0 col1 col0 col1
|
||||
| | | |
|
||||
row0 ---(key0)---(key1) row0 ---(key0)---(key1)
|
||||
| | | |
|
||||
row1 ---(key2)---(key3) row1 ---(key2)---(key3)
|
||||
|
||||
The `x` represents that the column/row associated has a value of 1, or is HIGH. Here, we see that no keys are being pressed, so no rows get an `x`. For one keyswitch, keep in mind that one side of the contacts is connected to its row, and the other, its column.
|
||||
|
||||
When we press `key0`, `col0` gets connected to `row0`, so the values that the firmware receives for that row is `0b01` (the `0b` here means that this is a bit value, meaning all of the following digits are bits - 0 or 1 - and represent the keys in that column). We'll use this notation to show when a keyswitch has been pressed, to show that the column and row are being connected:
|
||||
|
||||
Column 0 being scanned Column 1 being scanned
|
||||
x x
|
||||
col0 col1 col0 col1
|
||||
| | | |
|
||||
x row0 ---(-+-0)---(key1) row0 ---(-+-0)---(key1)
|
||||
| | | |
|
||||
row1 ---(key2)---(key3) row1 ---(key2)---(key3)
|
||||
|
||||
We can now see that `row0` has an `x`, so has the value of 1. As a whole, the data the firmware receives when `key0` is pressed is
|
||||
|
||||
col0: 0b01
|
||||
col1: 0b00
|
||||
│└row0
|
||||
└row1
|
||||
|
||||
A problem arises when you start pressing more than one key at a time. Looking at our matrix again, it should become pretty obvious:
|
||||
|
||||
Column 0 being scanned Column 1 being scanned
|
||||
x x
|
||||
col0 col1 col0 col1
|
||||
| | | |
|
||||
x row0 ---(-+-0)---(-+-1) x row0 ---(-+-0)---(-+-1)
|
||||
| | | |
|
||||
x row1 ---(key2)---(-+-3) x row1 ---(key2)---(-+-3)
|
||||
|
||||
Remember that this ^ is still connected to row1
|
||||
|
||||
The data we get from that is:
|
||||
|
||||
col0: 0b11
|
||||
col1: 0b11
|
||||
│└row0
|
||||
└row1
|
||||
|
||||
Which isn't accurate, since we only have 3 keys pressed down, not all 4. This behavior is called ghosting, and only happens in odd scenarios like this, but can be much more common on a bigger keyboard. The way we can get around this is by placing a diode after the keyswitch, but before it connects to its row. A diode only allows current to pass through one way, which will protect our other columns/rows from being activated in the previous example. We'll represent a dioded matrix like this;
|
||||
|
||||
Column 0 being scanned Column 1 being scanned
|
||||
x x
|
||||
col0 col1 col0 col1
|
||||
│ │ | │
|
||||
(key0) (key1) (key0) (key1)
|
||||
! │ ! │ ! | ! │
|
||||
row0 ─────┴────────┘ │ row0 ─────┴────────┘ │
|
||||

|
||||
! ! ! !
|
||||
row1 ─────┴────────┘ row1 ─────┴────────┘
|
||||

||||
In practical applications, the black line of the diode will be placed facing the row, and away from the keyswitch - the `!` in this case is the diode, where the gap represents the black line. A good way to remember this is to think of this symbol: `>|`
|
||||
|
||||
Now when we press the three keys, invoking what would be a ghosting scenario:
|
||||
|
||||
Column 0 being scanned Column 1 being scanned
|
||||
x x
|
||||
col0 col1 col0 col1
|
||||
│ │ │ │
|
||||
(┌─┤0) (┌─┤1) (┌─┤0) (┌─┤1)
|
||||
! │ ! │ ! │ ! │
|
||||
x row0 ─────┴────────┘ │ x row0 ─────┴────────┘ │
|
||||
│ │ │ │
|
||||
(key2) (┌─┘3) (key2) (┌─┘3)
|
||||
! ! ! !
|
||||
row1 ─────┴────────┘ x row1 ─────┴────────┘
|
||||
|
||||
Things act as they should! Which will get us the following data:
|
||||
|
||||
col0: 0b01
|
||||
col1: 0b11
|
||||
│└row0
|
||||
└row1
|
||||
|
||||
The firmware can then use this correct data to detect what it should do, and eventually, what signals it needs to send to the OS.
|
||||
|
||||
## The actual hand-wiring
|
||||
|
||||
### Getting things in place
|
||||
|
||||
When starting this, you should have all of your stabilisers and keyswitches already installed (and optionally keycaps). If you're using a Cherry-type stabiliser (plate-mounted only, obviously), you'll need to install that before your keyswitches. If you're using Costar ones, you can installed them afterwards.
|
||||
|
||||
To make things easier on yourself, make sure all of the keyswitches are oriented the same way (if they can be - not all layouts support this). Despite this, it's important to remember that the contacts on the keyswitches are completely symmetrical. We'll be using the keyswitch's left side contact for wiring the rows, and the right side one for wiring the columns.
|
||||
|
||||
Get your soldering iron heated-up and collect the rest of the materials from the part list at the beginning of the guide. Place your keyboard so that the bottoms of the keyswitches are accessible - it may be a good idea to place it on a cloth to protect your keyswitches/keycaps.
|
||||
|
||||
Before continuing, plan out where you're going to place your Teensy. If you're working with a board that has a large (6.25u) spacebar, it may be a good idea to place it in-between switches against the plate. Otherwise, you may want to trim some of the leads on the keyswitches where you plan on putting it - this will make it a little harder to solder the wire/diodes, but give you more room to place the Teensy.
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the diodes
|
||||
|
||||
It's a little easier to solder the diodes in place if you bend them at a 90º angle immediately after the black line - this will help to make sure you put them on the right way (direction matters), and in the correct position. The diodes will look like this when bent (with longer leads):
|
||||
|
||||
┌─────┬─┐
|
||||
───┤ │ ├─┐
|
||||
└─────┴─┘ │
|
||||
│
|
||||
|
||||
We'll be using the long lead at the bent end to connect it to the elbow (bent part) of the next diode, creating the row.
|
||||
|
||||
### Soldering the diodes
|
||||
|
||||
Starting at the top-left switch, place the diode (with tweezers if you have them) on the switch so that the diode itself is vertically aligned, and the black line is facing toward you. The straight end of the diode should be touching the left contact on the switch, and the bent end should be facing to the right and resting on the switch there, like this:
|
||||
|
||||
│o
|
||||
┌┴┐ o
|
||||
│ │ O
|
||||
├─┤
|
||||
└┬┘
|
||||
└─────────────
|
||||
|
||||
Letting the diode rest, grab your solder, and touch both it and the soldering iron to the left contact at the same time - the rosin in the solder should make it easy for the solder to flow over both the diode and the keyswitch contact. The diode may move a little, and if it does, carefully position it back it place by grabbing the bent end of the diode - the other end will become hot very quickly. If you find that it's moving too much, using needle-nose pliers of some sort may help to keep the diode still when soldering.
|
||||
|
||||
The smoke that the rosin releases is harmful, so be careful not to breath it or get it in your eyes/face.
|
||||
|
||||
After soldering things in place, it may be helpful to blow on the joint to push the smoke away from your face, and cool the solder quicker. You should see the solder develop a matte (not shiney) surface as it solidifies. Keep in mind that it will still be very hot afterwards, and will take a couple minutes to be cool to touch. Blow on it will accelerate this process.
|
||||
|
||||
When the first diode is complete, the next one will need to be soldered to both the keyswitch, and the previous diode at the new elbow. That will look something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
│o │o
|
||||
┌┴┐ o ┌┴┐ o
|
||||
│ │ O │ │ O
|
||||
├─┤ ├─┤
|
||||
└┬┘ └┬┘
|
||||
└────────────────┴─────────────
|
||||
|
||||
After completing a row, use the wire cutters to trim the excess wire from the tops of the diodes, and from the right side on the final switch. This process will need to completed for each row you have.
|
||||
|
||||
When all of the diodes are completely soldered, it's a good idea to quickly inspect each one to ensure that your solder joints are solid and sturdy - repairing things after this is possible, but more difficult.
|
||||
|
||||
### Soldering the columns
|
||||
|
||||
You'll have some options in the next process - it's a good idea to insulate the column wires (since the diodes aren't), but if you're careful enough, you can use exposed wires for the columns - it's not recommended, though. If you're using single-cored wire, stripping the plastic off of the whole wire and feeding it back on is probably the best option, but can be difficult depending on the size and materials. You'll want to leave parts of the wire exposed where you're going to be solder it onto the keyswitch.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're using stranded wire, it's probably easiest to just use a lot of small wires to connect each keyswitch along the column. It's possible to use one and melt through the insulation, but this isn't recommended, will produce even more harmful fumes, and can ruin your soldering iron.
|
||||
|
||||
Before beginning to solder, it helps to have your wire pre-bent (if using single-cored), or at least have an idea of how you're going to route the column (especially if you're making a staggered board). Where you go in particular doesn't matter too much, as we'll be basing our keymap definitions on how it was wired - just make sure every key in a particular row is in a unique column, and that they're in order from left to right.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're not using any insulation, you can try to keep the column wires elevated, and solder them near the tips of the keyswitch contacts - if the wires are sturdy enough, they won't short out to the row wiring an diodes.
|
||||
|
||||
### Wiring things to the Teensy
|
||||
|
||||
Now that the matrix itself is complete, it's time to connect what you've done to the Teensy. You'll be needing the number of pins equal to your number of columns + your number of rows. There are some pins on the Teensy that are special, like D6 (the LED on the chip), or some of the UART, SPI, I2C, or PWM channels, but only avoid those if you're planning something in addition to a keyboard. If you're unsure about wanting to add something later, you should have enough pins in total to avoid a couple.
|
||||
|
||||
The pins you'll absolutely have to avoid are: GND, VCC, AREF, and RST - all the others are usable and accessible in the firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
Place the Teensy where you plan to put it - you'll have to cut wires to length in the next step, and you'll want to make sure they reach.
|
||||
|
||||
Starting with the first column on the right side, measure out how much wire you'll need to connect it to the first pin on the Teensy - it helps to pick a side that you'll be able to work down, to keep the wires from overlapping too much. It may help to leave a little bit of slack so things aren't too tight. Cut the piece of wire, and solder it to the Teensy, and then the column - you can solder it anywhere along the column, but it may be easiest at the keyswitch. Just be sure the wire doesn't separate from the keyswitch when soldering.
|
||||
|
||||
As you move from column to column, it'll be helpful to write the locations of the pins down. We'll use this data to setup the matrix in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
When you're done with the columns, start with the rows in the same process, from top to bottom, and write them all down. Again, you can solder anywhere along the row, as long as it's after the diode - soldering before the diode (on the keyswitch side) will cause that row not to work.
|
||||
|
||||
As you move along, be sure that the Teensy is staying in place - recutting and soldering the wires is a pain!
|
||||
|
||||
### Getting some basic firmware set-up
|
||||
|
||||
From here, you should have a working keyboard with the correct firmware. Before we attach the Teensy permanently to the keyboard, let's quickly get some firmware loaded onto the Teensy so we can test each keyswitch.
|
||||
|
||||
To start out, download [the firmware](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/) - we'll be using my (Jack's) fork of TMK called QMK/Quantum. We'll be doing a lot from the Terminal/command prompt, so get that open, along with a decent text editor like [Sublime Text](http://www.sublimetext.com/).
|
||||
|
||||
The first thing we're going to do is create a new project using the script in the root directory of the firmware. In your terminal, run this command with `<project_name>` replaced by the name of your project - it'll need to be different from any other project in the `keyboards/` folder:
|
||||
|
||||
util/new_project.sh <project_name>
|
||||
|
||||
You'll want to navigate to the `keyboards/<project_name>/` folder by typing, like the print-out from the script specifies:
|
||||
|
||||
cd keyboards/<project_name>
|
||||
|
||||
#### config.h
|
||||
|
||||
The first thing you're going to want to modify is the `config.h` file. Find `MATRIX_ROWS` and `MATRIX_COLS` and change their definitions to match the dimensions of your keyboard's matrix.
|
||||
|
||||
Farther down are `MATRIX_ROW_PINS` and `MATRIX_COL_PINS`. Change their definitions to match how you wired up your matrix (looking from the top of the keyboard, the rows run top-to-bottom and the columns run left-to-right). Likewise, change the definition of `UNUSED_PINS` to match the pins you did not use (this will save power).
|
||||
|
||||
#### \<project_name\>.h
|
||||
|
||||
The next file you'll want to look at is `<project_name>.h`. You're going to want to rewrite the `KEYMAP` definition - the format and syntax here is extremely important, so pay attention to how things are setup. The first half of the definition are considered the arguments - this is the format that you'll be following in your keymap later on, so you'll want to have as many k*xy* variables here as you do keys. The second half is the part that the firmware actually looks at, and will contain gaps depending on how you wired your matrix.
|
||||
|
||||
We'll dive into how this will work with the following example. Say we have a keyboard like this:
|
||||
|
||||
┌───┬───┬───┐
|
||||
│ │ │ │
|
||||
├───┴─┬─┴───┤
|
||||
│ │ │
|
||||
└─────┴─────┘
|
||||
|
||||
This can be described by saying the top row is 3 1u keys, and the bottom row is 2 1.5u keys. The difference between the two rows is important, because the bottom row has an unused column spot (3 v 2). Let's say that this is how we wired the columns:
|
||||
|
||||
┌───┬───┬───┐
|
||||
│ ┋ │ ┋ │ ┋ │
|
||||
├─┋─┴─┬─┴─┋─┤
|
||||
│ ┋ │ ┋ │
|
||||
└─────┴─────┘
|
||||
|
||||
The middle column is unused on the bottom row in this example. Our `KEYMAP` definition would look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
#define KEYMAP( \
|
||||
k00, k01, k02, \
|
||||
k10, k11, \
|
||||
) \
|
||||
{ \
|
||||
{ k00, k01, k02 }, \
|
||||
{ k10, KC_NO, k11 }, \
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Notice how the top half is spaced to resemble our physical layout - this helps us understand which keys are associated with which columns. The bottom half uses the keycode `KC_NO` where there is no keyswitch wired in. It's easiest to keep the bottom half aligned in a grid to help us make sense of how the firmware actually sees the wiring.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's say that instead, we wired our keyboard like this (a fair thing to do):
|
||||
|
||||
┌───┬───┬───┐
|
||||
│ ┋ │ ┋│ ┋ │
|
||||
├─┋─┴─┬┋┴───┤
|
||||
│ ┋ │┋ │
|
||||
└─────┴─────┘
|
||||
|
||||
This would require our `KEYMAP` definition to look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
#define KEYMAP( \
|
||||
k00, k01, k02, \
|
||||
k10, k11, \
|
||||
) \
|
||||
{ \
|
||||
{ k00, k01, k02 }, \
|
||||
{ k10, k11, KC_NO }, \
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Notice how the `k11` and `KC_NO` switched places to represent the wiring, and the unused final column on the bottom row. Sometimes it'll make more sense to put a keyswitch on a particular column, but in the end, it won't matter, as long as all of them are accounted for. You can use this process to write out the `KEYMAP` for your entire keyboard - be sure to remember that your keyboard is actually backwards when looking at the underside of it.
|
||||
|
||||
#### keymaps/default.c
|
||||
|
||||
This is the actual keymap for your keyboard, and the main place you'll make changes as you perfect your layout. `default.c` is the file that gets pull by default when typing `make`, but you can make other files as well, and specify them by typing `make KEYMAP=<variant>`, which will pull `keymaps/<variant>.c`.
|
||||
|
||||
The basis of a keymap is its layers - by default, layer 0 is active. You can activate other layers, the highest of which will be referenced first. Let's start with our base layer.
|
||||
|
||||
Using our previous example, let's say we want to create the following layout:
|
||||
|
||||
┌───┬───┬───┐
|
||||
│ A │ 1 │ H │
|
||||
├───┴─┬─┴───┤
|
||||
│ TAB │ SPC │
|
||||
└─────┴─────┘
|
||||
|
||||
This can be accomplished by using the following `keymaps` definition:
|
||||
|
||||
const uint16_t PROGMEM keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS] = {
|
||||
[0] = KEYMAP( /* Base */
|
||||
KC_A, KC_1, KC_H, \
|
||||
KC_TAB, KC_SPC \
|
||||
),
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the layout of the keycodes is similar to the physical layout of our keyboard - this make it much easier to see what's going on. A lot of the keycodes should be fairly obvious, but for a full list of them, check out [tmk_code/doc/keycode.txt](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/tmk_core/doc/keycode.txt) - there are also a lot of aliases to condense your keymap file.
|
||||
|
||||
It's also important to use the `KEYMAP` function we defined earlier - this is what allows the firmware to associate our intended readable keymap with the actual wiring.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Compiling your firmware
|
||||
|
||||
After you've written out your entire keymap, you're ready to get the firmware compiled and onto your Teensy. Before compiling, you'll need to get your [development environment set-up](build_guide.md) - you can skip the dfu-programmer instructions, but you'll need to download and install the [Teensy Loader](https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader.html) to get the firmware on your Teensy.
|
||||
|
||||
Once everything is installed, running `make` in the terminal should get you some output, and eventually a `<project_name>.hex` file in that folder. If you're having trouble with this step, see the end of the guide for the trouble-shooting section.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have your `<project_name>.hex` file, open up the Teensy loader application, and click the file icon. From here, navigate to your `QMK/keyboards/<project_name>/` folder, and select the `<project_name>.hex` file. Plug in your keyboard and press the button on the Teensy - you should see the LED on the device turn off once you do. The Teensy Loader app will change a little, and the buttons should be clickable - click the download button (down arrow), and then the reset button (right arrow), and your keyboard should be ready to go!
|
||||
|
||||
#### Testing your firmware
|
||||
|
||||
Carefully flip your keyboard over, open up a new text document, and try typing - you should get the characters that you put into your keymap. Test each key, and note the ones that aren't working. Here's a quick trouble-shooting guide for non-working keys:
|
||||
|
||||
0. Flip the keyboard back over and short the keyswitch's contacts with a piece wire - this will eliminate the possibility of the keyswitch being bad and needing to be replaced.
|
||||
1. Check the solder points on the keyswitch - these need to be plump and whole. If you touch it with a moderate amount of force and it comes apart, it's not strong enough.
|
||||
2. Check the solder joints on the diode - if the diode is loose, part of your row may register, while the other may not.
|
||||
3. Check the solder joints on the columns - if your column wiring is loose, part or all of the column may not work.
|
||||
4. Check the solder joints on both sides of the wires going to/from the Teensy - the wires need to be fully soldered and connect to both sides.
|
||||
5. Check the <project_name>.h file for errors and incorrectly placed `KC_NO`s - if you're unsure where they should be, instead duplicate a k*xy* variable.
|
||||
6. Check to make sure you actually compiled the firmware and flashed the Teensy correctly. Unless you got error messages in the terminal, or a pop-up during flashing, you probably did everything correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
If you've done all of these things, keep in mind that sometimes you might have had multiple things affecting the keyswitch, so it doesn't hurt to test the keyswitch by shorting it out at the end.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Securing the Teensy, finishing your hardware, getting fancier firmware
|
||||
|
||||
Now that you have a working board, it's time to get things in their permanent positions. I've often used liberal amounts of hot glue to secure and insulate things, so if that's your style, start spreading that stuff like butter. Otherwise, double-sided tape is always an elegant solution, and electrical tape is a distant second. Due to the nature of these builds, a lot of this part is up to you and how you planned (or didn't plan) things out.
|
||||
|
||||
There are a lot of possibilities inside the firmware - check out the [readme](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/readme.md) for a full feature list, and dive into the different project (Planck, Ergodox EZ, etc) to see how people use all of them.

# Quantum Mechanical Keyboard Firmware
|
||||
|
||||
You have found the QMK Firmware documentation site. This is a keyboard firmware based on the [tmk\_keyboard firmware](http://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard) \([view differences](differences_from_tmk.md)\) with some useful features for Atmel AVR controllers, and more specifically, the [OLKB product line](http://olkb.com), the [ErgoDox EZ](http://www.ergodox-ez.com) keyboard, and the [Clueboard product line](http://clueboard.co/). It has also been ported to ARM chips using ChibiOS. You can use it to power your own hand-wired or custom keyboard PCB.
|
||||
|
||||
# Getting started
|
||||
|
||||
Before you are able to compile, you'll need to install an environment for AVR or ARM development. You'll find the instructions for any OS below. If you find another/better way to set things up from scratch, please consider [making a pull request](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pulls) with your changes!
|
||||
|
||||
* [Build Environment Setup](build_environment_setup.md)
|
||||
* [QMK Overview](qmk_overview.md)
|
||||
|
||||
# Configuring QMK Firmware
|
||||
|
||||
The QMK Firmware can be configured via the `keymaps` array data. For simply generating a [basic keycode](keycodes.md), you add it as an element of your `keymaps` array data. For more complicated actions, there are more advanced keycodes that are organized carefully to represent common operations, some of which can be found on the [Key Functions](key_functions.md) page.
|
||||
|
||||
For more details of the `keymaps` array, see [Keymap Overview](keymap.md) page.

## Space Cadet Shift: The future, built in
|
||||
|
||||
Steve Losh [described](http://stevelosh.com/blog/2012/10/a-modern-space-cadet/) the Space Cadet Shift quite well. Essentially, you hit the left Shift on its own, and you get an opening parenthesis; hit the right Shift on its own, and you get the closing one. When hit with other keys, the Shift key keeps working as it always does. Yes, it's as cool as it sounds. Head on over to the [Space Cadet Shift](space_cadet_shift.md) page to read about it.
|
||||
|
||||
## The Leader key: A new kind of modifier
|
||||
|
||||
Most modifiers have to be held or toggled. But what if you had a key that indicated the start of a sequence? You could press that key and then rapidly press 1-3 more keys to trigger a macro, or enter a special layer, or anything else you might want to do. To learn more about it check out the [Leader Key](leader_key.md) page.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tap Dance: A single key can do 3, 5, or 100 different things
|
||||
|
||||
Hit the semicolon key once, send a semicolon. Hit it twice, rapidly -- send a colon. Hit it three times, and your keyboard's LEDs do a wild dance. That's just one example of what Tap Dance can do. Read more about it on the [Tap Dance](tap_dance.md) page.
|
||||
|
||||
## Temporarily setting the default layer
|
||||
|
||||
`DF(layer)` - sets default layer to _layer_. The default layer is the one at the "bottom" of the layer stack - the ultimate fallback layer. This currently does not persist over power loss. When you plug the keyboard back in, layer 0 will always be the default. It is theoretically possible to work around that, but that's not what `DF` does.
|
||||
|
||||
## Macro shortcuts: Send a whole string when pressing just one key
|
||||
|
||||
How would you like a single keypress to send a whole word, sentence, paragraph, or even document? Head on over to the [Macros](macros.md) page to read up on all aspects of Simple and Dynamic Macros.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional keycode aliases for software-implemented layouts \(Colemak, Dvorak, etc\)
|
||||
|
||||
Everything is assuming you're in Qwerty \(in software\) by default, but there is built-in support for using a Colemak or Dvorak layout by including this at the top of your keymap:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
#include <keymap_colemak.h>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you use Dvorak, use `keymap_dvorak.h` instead of `keymap_colemak.h` for this line. After including this line, you will get access to:
|
||||
|
||||
* `CM_*` for all of the Colemak-equivalent characters
|
||||
* `DV_*` for all of the Dvorak-equivalent characters
|
||||
|
||||
These implementations assume you're using Colemak or Dvorak on your OS, not on your keyboard - this is referred to as a software-implemented layout. If your computer is in Qwerty and your keymap is in Colemak or Dvorak, this is referred to as a firmware-implemented layout, and you won't need these features.
|
||||
|
||||
To give an example, if you're using software-implemented Colemak, and want to get an `F`, you would use `CM_F`. Using `KC_F` under these same circumstances would result in `T`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Backlight Breathing
|
||||
|
||||
In order to enable backlight breathing, the following line must be added to your config.h file.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
#define BACKLIGHT_BREATHING
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The following function calls are used to control the breathing effect.
|
||||
|
||||
* `breathing_enable()` - Enable the free-running breathing effect.
|
||||
* `breathing_disable()` - Disable the free-running breathing effect immediately.
|
||||
* `breathing_self_disable()` - Disable the free-running breathing effect after the current effect ends.
|
||||
* `breathing_toggle()` - Toggle the free-running breathing effect.
|
||||
* `breathing_defaults()` - Reset the speed and brightness settings of the breathing effect.
|
||||
|
||||
The following function calls are used to control the maximum brightness of the breathing effect.
|
||||
|
||||
* `breathing_intensity_set(value)` - Set the brightness of the breathing effect when it is at its max value.
|
||||
* `breathing_intensity_default()` - Reset the brightness of the breathing effect to the default value based on the current backlight intensity.
|
||||
|
||||
The following function calls are used to control the cycling speed of the breathing effect.
|
||||
|
||||
* `breathing_speed_set(value)` - Set the speed of the breathing effect - how fast it cycles.
|
||||
* `breathing_speed_inc(value)` - Increase the speed of the breathing effect by a fixed value.
|
||||
* `breathing_speed_dec(value)` - Decrease the speed of the breathing effect by a fixed value.
|
||||
* `breathing_speed_default()` - Reset the speed of the breathing effect to the default value.
|
||||
|
||||
The following example shows how to enable the backlight breathing effect when the FUNCTION layer macro button is pressed:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
case MACRO_FUNCTION:
|
||||
if (record->event.pressed)
|
||||
{
|
||||
breathing_speed_set(3);
|
||||
breathing_enable();
|
||||
layer_on(LAYER_FUNCTION);
|
||||
}
|
||||
else
|
||||
{
|
||||
breathing_speed_set(1);
|
||||
breathing_self_disable();
|
||||
layer_off(LAYER_FUNCTION);
|
||||
}
|
||||
break;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The following example shows how to pulse the backlight on-off-on when the RAISED layer macro button is pressed:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
case MACRO_RAISED:
|
||||
if (record->event.pressed)
|
||||
{
|
||||
layer_on(LAYER_RAISED);
|
||||
breathing_speed_set(2);
|
||||
breathing_pulse();
|
||||
update_tri_layer(LAYER_LOWER, LAYER_RAISED, LAYER_ADJUST);
|
||||
}
|
||||
else
|
||||
{
|
||||
layer_off(LAYER_RAISED);
|
||||
update_tri_layer(LAYER_LOWER, LAYER_RAISED, LAYER_ADJUST);
|
||||
}
|
||||
break;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Other firmware shortcut keycodes
|
||||
|
||||
* `RESET` - puts the MCU in DFU mode for flashing new firmware \(with `make dfu`\)
|
||||
* `DEBUG` - the firmware into debug mode - you'll need hid\_listen to see things
|
||||
* `BL_ON` - turns the backlight on
|
||||
* `BL_OFF` - turns the backlight off
|
||||
* `BL_<n>` - sets the backlight to level _n_
|
||||
* `BL_INC` - increments the backlight level by one
|
||||
* `BL_DEC` - decrements the backlight level by one
|
||||
* `BL_TOGG` - toggles the backlight
|
||||
* `BL_STEP` - steps through the backlight levels
|
||||
|
||||
Enable the backlight from the Makefile.

# Keymap Overview
|
||||
|
||||
QMK keymaps are defined inside a C source file. The data structure is an array of arrays. The outer array is a list of layer arrays while the inner layer array is a list of keys. Most keyboards define a `KEYMAP()` macro to help you create this array of arrays.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Keymap and layers
|
||||
In QMK, **`const uint16_t PROGMEM keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS]`** holds multiple **layers** of keymap information in **16 bit** data holding the **action code**. You can define **32 layers** at most.
|
||||
|
||||
For trivial key definitions, the higher 8 bits of the **action code** are all 0 and the lower 8 bits holds the USB HID usage code generated by the key as **keycode**.
|
||||
|
||||
Respective layers can be validated simultaneously. Layers are indexed with 0 to 31 and higher layer has precedence.
|
||||
|
||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes, the action code stored in keymap may be referred as keycode in some documents due to the TMK history.
|
||||
|
||||
### Keymap layer status
|
||||
Keymap layer has its state in two 32 bit parameters:
|
||||
|
||||
* **`default_layer_state`** indicates a base keymap layer(0-31) which is always valid and to be referred.
|
||||
* **`layer_state`** () has current on/off status of the layer on its each bit.
|
||||
|
||||
Keymap has its state in two parameter **`default_layer`** indicates a base keymap layer(0-31) which is always valid and to be referred, **`keymap_stat`** is 16bit variable which has current on/off status of layers on its each bit.
|
||||
Keymap layer '0' is usually `default_layer` and which is the only valid layer and other layers is initially off after boot up firmware, though, you can configured them in `config.h`.
|
||||
To change `default_layer` will be useful when you switch key layout completely, say you want Colmak instead of Qwerty.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
On the other hand, you shall change `layer_state` to overlay base layer with some layers for feature such as navigation keys, function key(F1-F12), media keys or special actions.

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Layer Precedence and Transparency
|
||||
Note that ***higher layer has higher priority on stack of layers***, namely firmware falls down from top layer to bottom to look up keycode. Once it spots keycode other than **`KC_TRNS`**(transparent) on a layer it stops searching and lower layers aren't referred.
|
||||
|
||||
You can place `KC_TRANS` on overlay layer changes just part of layout to fall back on lower or base layer.
|
||||
Key with `KC_TRANS` (`KC_TRNS` and `_______` are the alias) doesn't has its own keycode and refers to lower valid layers for keycode, instead.
|
||||
|
||||
## Anatomy Of A `keymap.c`
|
||||
|
||||
For this example we will walk through the [default Clueboard keymap](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/clueboard/keymaps/default/keymap.c). You'll find it helpful to open that file in another browser window so you can look at everything in context.
|
||||
|
||||
There are 3 main sections of a `keymap.c` file you'll want to concern yourself with:
|
||||
|
||||
* [The Definitions](#definitions)
|
||||
* [The Layer/Keymap Datastructure](#layers-and-keymaps)
|
||||
* [Custom Functions](#custom-functions), if any
|
||||
|
||||
### Definitions
|
||||
|
||||
At the top of the file you'll find this:
|
||||
|
||||
#include "clueboard.h"
|
||||
|
||||
// Helpful defines
|
||||
#define GRAVE_MODS (MOD_BIT(KC_LSHIFT)|MOD_BIT(KC_RSHIFT)|MOD_BIT(KC_LGUI)|MOD_BIT(KC_RGUI)|MOD_BIT(KC_LALT)|MOD_BIT(KC_RALT))
|
||||
#define _______ KC_TRNS
|
||||
|
||||
// Each layer gets a name for readability.
|
||||
// The underscores don't mean anything - you can
|
||||
// have a layer called STUFF or any other name.
|
||||
// Layer names don't all need to be of the same
|
||||
// length, and you can also skip them entirely
|
||||
// and just use numbers.
|
||||
#define _BL 0
|
||||
#define _FL 1
|
||||
#define _CL 2
|
||||
|
||||
These are some handy definitions we can use when building our keymap and our custom function. The `GRAVE_MODS` definition will be used later in our custom function. The `_______` define makes it easier to see what keys a layer is overriding, while the `_BL`, `_FL`, and `_CL` defines make it easier to refer to each of our layers.
|
||||
|
||||
### Layers and Keymaps
|
||||
|
||||
The main part of this file is the `keymaps[]` definition. This is where you list your layers and the contents of those layers. This part of the file begins with this definition:
|
||||
|
||||
const uint16_t PROGMEM keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS] = {
|
||||
|
||||
After this you'll find a list of KEYMAP() macros. A KEYMAP() is simply a list of keys to define a single layer. Typically you'll have one or more "base layers" (such as QWERTY, Dvorak, or Colemak) and then you'll layer on top of that one or more "function" layers. Due to the way layers are processed you can't overlay a "lower" layer on top of a "higher" layer.
|
||||
|
||||
`keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS]` in QMK holds the 16 bit action code (sometimes referred as the quantum keycode) in it. For the keycode representing typical keys, its high byte is 0 and its low byte is the USB HID usage ID for keyboard.
|
||||
|
||||
> TMK from which QMK was forked uses `const uint8_t PROGMEM keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS]` instead and holds the 8 bit keycode. Some keycode values are reserved to induce execution of certain action codes via the `fn_actions[]` array.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Base Layer
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example of the Clueboard's base layer:
|
||||
|
||||
/* Keymap _BL: Base Layer (Default Layer)
|
||||
*/
|
||||
[_BL] = KEYMAP(
|
||||
F(0), KC_1, KC_2, KC_3, KC_4, KC_5, KC_6, KC_7, KC_8, KC_9, KC_0, KC_MINS, KC_EQL, KC_GRV, KC_BSPC, KC_PGUP, \
|
||||
KC_TAB, KC_Q, KC_W, KC_E, KC_R, KC_T, KC_Y, KC_U, KC_I, KC_O, KC_P, KC_LBRC, KC_RBRC, KC_BSLS, KC_PGDN, \
|
||||
KC_CAPS, KC_A, KC_S, KC_D, KC_F, KC_G, KC_H, KC_J, KC_K, KC_L, KC_SCLN, KC_QUOT, KC_NUHS, KC_ENT, \
|
||||
KC_LSFT, KC_NUBS, KC_Z, KC_X, KC_C, KC_V, KC_B, KC_N, KC_M, KC_COMM, KC_DOT, KC_SLSH, KC_RO, KC_RSFT, KC_UP, \
|
||||
KC_LCTL, KC_LGUI, KC_LALT, KC_MHEN, KC_SPC,KC_SPC, KC_HENK, KC_RALT, KC_RCTL, MO(_FL), KC_LEFT, KC_DOWN, KC_RGHT),
|
||||
|
||||
Some interesting things to note about this:
|
||||
|
||||
* From a C source point of view it's only a single array, but we have embedded whitespace to more easily visualize where each key is on the physical device.
|
||||
* Plain keyboard scancodes are prefixed with KC_, while "special" keys are not.
|
||||
* The upper left key activates custom function 0 (`F(0)`)
|
||||
* The "Fn" key is defined with `MO(_FL)`, which moves to the `_FL` layer while that key is being held down.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Function Overlay Layer
|
||||
|
||||
Our function layer is, from a code point of view, no different from the base layer. Conceptually, however, you will build that layer as an overlay, not a replacement. For many people this distinction does not matter, but as you build more complicated layering setups it matters more and more.
|
||||
|
||||
[_FL] = KEYMAP(
|
||||
KC_GRV, KC_F1, KC_F2, KC_F3, KC_F4, KC_F5, KC_F6, KC_F7, KC_F8, KC_F9, KC_F10, KC_F11, KC_F12, _______, KC_DEL, BL_STEP, \
|
||||
_______, _______, _______,_______,_______,_______,_______,_______,KC_PSCR,KC_SLCK, KC_PAUS, _______, _______, _______, _______, \
|
||||
_______, _______, MO(_CL),_______,_______,_______,_______,_______,_______,_______, _______, _______, _______, _______, \
|
||||
_______, _______, _______,_______,_______,_______,_______,_______,_______,_______, _______, _______, _______, _______, KC_PGUP, \
|
||||
_______, _______, _______, _______, _______,_______, _______, _______, _______, MO(_FL), KC_HOME, KC_PGDN, KC_END),
|
||||
|
||||
Some interesting things to note:
|
||||
|
||||
* We have used our `_______` definition to turn `KC_TRNS` into `_______`. This makes it easier to spot the keys that have changed on this layer.
|
||||
* While in this layer if you press one of the `_______` keys it will activate the key in the next lowest active layer.
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Functions
|
||||
|
||||
At the bottom of the file we've defined a single custom function. This function defines a key that sends `KC_ESC` when pressed without modifiers and `KC_GRAVE` when modifiers are held. There are a couple pieces that need to be in place for this to work, and we will go over both of them.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `fn_actions[]`
|
||||
|
||||
We define the `fn_actions[]` array to point to custom functions. `F(N)` in a keymap will call element N of that array. For the Clueboard's that looks like this:
|
||||
|
||||
const uint16_t PROGMEM fn_actions[] = {
|
||||
[0] = ACTION_FUNCTION(0), // Calls action_function()
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
In this case we've instructed QMK to call the `ACTION_FUNCTION` callback, which we will define in the next section.
|
||||
|
||||
> This `fn_actions[]` interface is mostly for backward compatibility. In QMK, you don't need to use `fn_actions[]`. You can directly use `ACTION_FUNCTION(N)` or any other action code value itself normally generated by the macro in `keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS]`. N in `F(N)` can only be 0 to 31. Use of the action code directly in `keymaps` unlocks this limitation.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `action_function()`
|
||||
|
||||
To actually handle the keypress event we define an `action_function()`. This function will be called when the key is pressed, and then again when the key is released. We have to handle both situations within our code, as well as determining whether to send/release `KC_ESC` or `KC_GRAVE`.
|
||||
|
||||
void action_function(keyrecord_t *record, uint8_t id, uint8_t opt) {
|
||||
static uint8_t mods_pressed;
|
||||
|
||||
switch (id) {
|
||||
case 0:
|
||||
/* Handle the combined Grave/Esc key
|
||||
*/
|
||||
mods_pressed = get_mods()&GRAVE_MODS; // Check to see what mods are pressed
|
||||
|
||||
if (record->event.pressed) {
|
||||
/* The key is being pressed.
|
||||
*/
|
||||
if (mods_pressed) {
|
||||
add_key(KC_GRV);
|
||||
send_keyboard_report();
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
add_key(KC_ESC);
|
||||
send_keyboard_report();
|
||||
}
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
/* The key is being released.
|
||||
*/
|
||||
if (mods_pressed) {
|
||||
del_key(KC_GRV);
|
||||
send_keyboard_report();
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
del_key(KC_ESC);
|
||||
send_keyboard_report();
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
break;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||

# Macros - Send multiple keystrokes when pressing just one key
|
||||
|
||||
QMK has a number of ways to define and use macros. These can do anything you want- type common phrases for you, copypasta, repetitive game movements, or even help you code.
|
||||
|
||||
**Security Note**: While it is possible to use macros to send passwords, credit card numbers, and other sensitive information it is a supremely bad idea to do so. Anyone who gets ahold of your keyboard will be able to access that information by opening a text editor.
|
||||
|
||||
# Macro Definitions
|
||||
|
||||
By default QMK assumes you don't have any macros. To define your macros you create an `action_get_macro()` function. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
const macro_t *action_get_macro(keyrecord_t *record, uint8_t id, uint8_t opt) {
|
||||
if (record->event.pressed) {
|
||||
switch(id) {
|
||||
case 0:
|
||||
return MACRO(D(LSFT), T(H), U(LSFT), T(I), D(LSFT), T(1), U(LSFT), END);
|
||||
case 1:
|
||||
return MACRO(D(LSFT), T(B), U(LSFT), T(Y), T(E), D(LSFT), T(1), U(LSFT), END);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
return MACRO_NONE;
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This defines two macros which will be run when the key they are assigned to is pressed. If you'd like them to run when the release is released instead you can change the if statement:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
if (!record->event.pressed) {
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Macro Commands
|
||||
|
||||
A macro can include the following commands:
|
||||
|
||||
* I() change interval of stroke in milliseconds.
|
||||
* D() press key.
|
||||
* U() release key.
|
||||
* T() type key(press and release).
|
||||
* W() wait (milliseconds).
|
||||
* END end mark.
|
||||
|
||||
## Sending strings
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes you just want a key to type out words or phrases. For the most common situations we've provided `SEND_STRING()`, which will type out your string for you instead of having to build a `MACRO()`. Right now it assumes a US keymap with a QWERTY layout, so if you are using something else it may not behave as you expect.
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
const macro_t *action_get_macro(keyrecord_t *record, uint8_t id, uint8_t opt) {
|
||||
if (record->event.pressed) {
|
||||
switch(id) {
|
||||
case 0:
|
||||
SEND_STRING("QMK is the best thing ever!");
|
||||
return false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
return MACRO_NONE;
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Mapping a Macro to a key
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `M()` function within your `KEYMAP()` to call a macro. For example, here is the keymap for a 2-key keyboard:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
const uint16_t PROGMEM keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS] = {
|
||||
[0] = KEYMAP(
|
||||
M(0), M(1)
|
||||
),
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
const macro_t *action_get_macro(keyrecord_t *record, uint8_t id, uint8_t opt) {
|
||||
if (record->event.pressed) {
|
||||
switch(id) {
|
||||
case 0:
|
||||
return MACRO(D(LSFT), T(H), U(LSFT), T(I), D(LSFT), T(1), U(LSFT), END);
|
||||
case 1:
|
||||
return MACRO(D(LSFT), T(B), U(LSFT), T(Y), T(E), D(LSFT), T(1), U(LSFT), END);
|

}
|
||||
}
|
||||
return MACRO_NONE;
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When you press the key on the left it will type "Hi!" and when you press the key on the right it will type "Bye!".
|
||||
|
||||
## Naming your macros
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a bunch of macros you want to refer to from your keymap while keeping the keymap easily readable you can name them using `#define` at the top of your file.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
#define M_HI M(0)
|
||||
#define M_BYE M(1)
|
||||
|
||||
const uint16_t PROGMEM keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS] = {
|
||||
[0] = KEYMAP(
|
||||
M_HI, M_BYE
|
||||
),
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# Advanced macro functions
|
||||
|
||||
While working within the `action_get_macro()` function block there are some functions you may find useful. Keep in mind that while you can write some fairly advanced code within a macro if your functionality gets too complex you may want to define a custom keycode instead. Macros are meant to be simple.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `record->event.pressed`
|
||||
|
||||
This is a boolean value that can be tested to see if the switch is being pressed or released. An example of this is
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
if (record->event.pressed) {
|
||||
// on keydown
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// on keyup
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### `register_code(<kc>);`
|
||||
|
||||
This sends the `<kc>` keydown event to the computer. Some examples would be `KC_ESC`, `KC_C`, `KC_4`, and even modifiers such as `KC_LSFT` and `KC_LGUI`.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `unregister_code(<kc>);`
|
||||
|
||||
Parallel to `register_code` function, this sends the `<kc>` keyup event to the computer. If you don't use this, the key will be held down until it's sent.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `clear_keyboard();`
|
||||
|
||||
This will clear all mods and keys currently pressed.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `clear_mods();`
|
||||
|
||||
This will clear all mods currently pressed.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `clear_keyboard_but_mods();`
|
||||
|
||||
This will clear all keys besides the mods currently pressed.
|
||||
|
||||
# Advanced Example: Single-key copy/paste (hold to copy, tap to paste)
|
||||
|
||||
This example defines a macro which sends `Ctrl-C` when pressed down, and `Ctrl-V` when released.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
const macro_t *action_get_macro(keyrecord_t *record, uint8_t id, uint8_t opt) {
|
||||
switch(id) {
|
||||
case 0: {
|
||||
if (record->event.pressed) {
|
||||
return MACRO( D(LCTL), T(C), U(LCTL), END );
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
return MACRO( D(LCTL), T(V), U(LCTL), END );
|
||||
}
|
||||
break;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
return MACRO_NONE;
|
||||
};
|
||||
```

# Planck Firmware Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## Setting up the environment
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows
|
||||
1. Install [MHV AVR Tools](https://infernoembedded.com/sites/default/files/project/MHV_AVR_Tools_20131101.exe). Disable smatch, but **be sure to leave the option to add the tools to the PATH checked**.
|
||||
2. Install [MinGW](https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/mingw-get-setup.exe/download). During installation, uncheck the option to install a graphical user interface. **DO NOT change the default installation folder.** The scripts depend on the default location.
|
||||
3. Clone this repository. [This link will download it as a zip file, which you'll need to extract.](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/archive/master.zip) Open the extracted folder in Windows Explorer.
|
||||
4. Right-click on the 1-setup-path-win batch script, select "Run as administrator", and accept the User Account Control prompt. Press the spacebar to dismiss the success message in the command prompt that pops up.
|
||||
5. Right-click on the 2-setup-environment-win batch script, select "Run as administrator", and accept the User Account Control prompt. This part may take a couple of minutes, and you'll need to approve a driver installation, but once it finishes, your environment is complete!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Mac
|
||||
|
||||
If you're using homebrew, you can use the following commands:
|
||||
|
||||
brew tap osx-cross/avr
|
||||
brew install avr-libc
|
||||
brew install dfu-programmer
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise, these instructions will work:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install Xcode from the App Store.
|
||||
2. Install the Command Line Tools from `Xcode->Preferences->Downloads`.
|
||||
3. Install [DFU-Programmer][dfu-prog].
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
1. Install AVR GCC with your favorite package manager.
|
||||
2. Install [DFU-Programmer][dfu-prog].
|
||||
|
||||
Note that, since it will be directly accessing USB hardware, the
|
||||
`dfu-programmer` program needs to be run as root.
|
||||
|
||||
## Verify Your Installation
|
||||
1. Clone the following repository: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware
|
||||
2. Open a Terminal and `cd` into `qmk_firmware/keyboards/planck`
|
||||
3. Run `make`. This should output a lot of information about the build process.
|
||||
|
||||
## Using the built-in functions
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a list of some of the functions available from the command line:
|
||||
|
||||
* `make clean`: clean the environment - may be required in-between builds
|
||||
* `make`: compile the code
|
||||
* `make KEYMAP=<keymap>`: compile with the extended keymap file `extended_keymaps/extended_keymap_<keymap>.c`
|
||||
* `make dfu`: build and flash the layout to the PCB
|
||||
* `make dfu-force`: build and force-flash the layout to the PCB (may be require for first flash)
|
||||
|
||||
Generally, the instructions to flash the PCB are as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Make changes to the appropriate keymap file
|
||||
2. Save the file
|
||||
3. `make clean`
|
||||
4. Press the reset button on the PCB/press the key with the `RESET` keycode
|
||||
5. `make <arguments> dfu` - use the necessary `KEYMAP=<keymap>` and/or `COMMON=true` arguments here.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
If you see something like this
|
||||
|
||||
0 [main] sh 13384 sync_with_child: child 9716(0x178) died before initialization with status code 0xC0000142
|
||||
440 [main] sh 13384 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for longjmp
|
||||
/usr/bin/sh: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
|
||||
|
||||
after running 'make' on Windows than you are encountering a very popular issue with WinAVR on Windows 8.1 and 10.
|
||||
You can easily fix this problem by replacing msys-1.0.dll in WinAVR/utils/bin with [this one](http://www.madwizard.org/download/electronics/msys-1.0-vista64.zip).
|
||||
Restart your system and everything should work fine!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you see this
|
||||
|
||||
dfu-programmer atmega32u4 erase
|
||||
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, dfu-programmer atmega32u4 erase, ...) failed.
|
||||
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
|
||||
make: *** [dfu] Error 2
|
||||
|
||||
when trying to 'make dfu' on Windows you need to copy the dfu-programmer.exe to qmk_firmware/keyboards/planck.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Quantum MK Firmware
|
||||
|
||||
### Keymap
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike the other keymaps, prefixing the keycodes with `KC_` is required. A full list of the keycodes is available [here](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/tmk_core/doc/keycode.txt). For the keycodes available only in the extended keymap, see this [header file](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/quantum/keymap_common.h).
|
||||
|
||||
You can use modifiers with keycodes like this:
|
||||
|
||||
LCTL(KC_C)
|
||||
|
||||
Which will generate Ctrl+c. These are daisy-chainable, meaning you can do things like:
|
||||
|
||||
LCTL(LALT(KC_C))
|
||||
|
||||
That will generate Ctrl+Alt+c. The entire list of these functions is here:
|
||||
|
||||
* `LCTL()`: Left control
|
||||
* `LSFT()` / `S()`: Left shift
|
||||
* `LALT()`: Left alt/opt
|
||||
* `LGUI()`: Left win/cmd
|
||||
* `RCTL()`: Right control
|
||||
* `RSFT()`: Right shift
|
||||
* `RALT()`: Right alt/opt
|
||||
* `RGUI()`: Right win/cmd
|
||||
|
||||
`S(KC_1)`-like entries are useful in writing keymaps for the Planck.
|
||||
|
||||
### Other keycodes
|
||||
|
||||
A number of other keycodes have been added that you may find useful:
|
||||
|
||||
* `CM_<key>`: the Colemak equivalent of a key (in place of `KC_<key>`), when using Colemak in software (`CM_O` generates `KC_SCLN`)
|
||||
* `RESET`: jump to bootloader for flashing (same as press the reset button)
|
||||
* `BL_STEP`: step through the backlight brightnesses
|
||||
* `BL_<0-15>`: set backlight brightness to 0-15
|
||||
* `BL_DEC`: lower the backlight brightness
|
||||
* `BL_INC`: raise the backlight brightness
|
||||
* `BL_TOGG`: toggle the backlight on/off
|
||||
|
||||
### Function layers
|
||||
|
||||
The extended keymap extends the number of function layers from 32 to the near-infinite value of 256. Rather than using `FN<num>` notation (still available, but limited to `FN0`-`FN31`), you can use the `FUNC(<num>)` notation. `F(<num>)` is a shortcut for this.
|
||||
|
||||
The function actions are unchanged, and you can see the full list of them [here](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/tmk_core/common/action_code.h). They are explained in detail [here](keymap.md#2-action).
|
||||
|
||||
### Macros
|
||||
|
||||
Macros have been setup in the `keymaps/keymap_default.c` file so that you can use `M(<num>)` to access a macro in the `action_get_macro` section on your keymap. The switch/case structure you see here is required, and is setup for `M(0)` - you'll need to copy and paste the code to look like this (e.g. to support `M(3)`):
|
||||
|
||||
switch(id) {
|
||||
case 0:
|
||||
return MACRODOWN(TYPE(KC_A), END);
|
||||
break;
|
||||
case 1:
|
||||
return MACRODOWN(TYPE(KC_B), END);
|
||||
break;
|
||||
case 2:
|
||||
return MACRODOWN(TYPE(KC_C), END);
|
||||
break;
|
||||
case 3:
|
||||
return MACRODOWN(TYPE(KC_D), END);
|
||||
break;
|
||||
}
|
||||
return MACRO_NONE;
|
||||
|
||||
`MACRODOWN()` is a shortcut for `(record->event.pressed ? MACRO(__VA_ARGS__) : MACRO_NONE)` which tells the macro to execute when the key is pressed. Without this, the macro will be executed on both the down and up stroke.

Comparator. This will reduce power consumption in Active and Idle mode.
|

Magic Commands
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
To see help press `Magic` + `H`.
|
||||
|
||||
`Magic` key combination is `LShift` + `RShift` in many project, but `Power` key on ADB converter.
|
||||
`Magic` keybind can be vary on each project, check `config.h` in project directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Following commands can be also executed with `Magic` + key. In console mode `Magic` keybind is not needed.

Boot Magic Configuration - Virtual DIP Switch
|
||||
---------------------------------------------
|
||||
Boot Magic are executed during boot up time. Press Magic key below then plug in keyboard cable.
|
||||
Note that you must use keys of **Layer 0** as Magic keys. These settings are stored in EEPROM so that retain your configure over power cycles.
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid configuring accidentally additive salt key `KC_SPACE` also needs to be pressed along with the following configuration keys. The salt key is configurable in `config.h`. See [tmk_core/common/bootmagic.h](/tmk_core/common/bootmagic.h).
|
||||
|
||||
#### General
|
||||
- Skip reading EEPROM to start with default configuration(`ESC`)
|
||||
- Clear configuration stored in EEPROM to reset configuration(`Backspace`)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Bootloader
|
||||
- Kick up Bootloader(`B`)
|
||||
|
||||

Mechanical Locking support
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
This feature makes it possible for you to use mechanical locking switch for `CapsLock`, `NumLock`
|
||||
or `ScrollLock`. To enable this feature define these macros in `config.h` and use `KC_LCAP`, `KC_LN
|
||||
UM` or `KC_LSCR` in keymap for locking key instead of normal `KC_CAPS`, `KC_NLCK` or `KC_SLCK`. Res
|
||||
ync option tries to keep switch state consistent with keyboard LED state.
|
||||
|
||||
#define LOCKING_SUPPORT_ENABLE
|
||||
#define LOCKING_RESYNC_ENABLE
|
||||

-----------------------
|
||||
**TBD**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Debugging
|
||||
--------
|
||||
Use PJRC's `hid_listen` to see debug messages. You can use the tool for debug even if firmware use LUFA stack.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use xprintf() to display debug info on `hid_listen`, see `tmk_core/common/xprintf.h`.

|

OS Support Status
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
USB NKRO is possible *without* a custom driver.
|
||||
At least following OS's supports.
|
||||
Windows7 64bit
|
||||
WindowsXP
|
||||
Windows2000 SP4
|
||||
Ubuntu10.4(Linux 2.6)
|
||||
MacOSX(To be tested)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Custom Driver for USB NKRO
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
NOT NEEDED
|
||||
at least when using following report formats on Windows, Linux or MacOSX.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
USB NKRO methods
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
1. Virtual keyboards
|
||||
Keyboard can increase its KRO by using virtual keyboards with Standard or Extended report.
|
||||
If the keyboard has 2 virtual keyboard with Standard report(6KRO), it gets 12KRO.
|
||||
Using this method means the keyboard is a composite device.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Extended report
|
||||
It needs large report size for this method to achieve NKRO.
|
||||
If a keyboard has 101keys, it needs 103byte report. It seems to be inefficient.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Bitmap report
|
||||
If the keyboard has less than 128keys, 16byte report will be enough for NKRO.
|
||||
The 16byte report seems to be reasonable cost to get NKRO.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Report Format
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
Other report formats than followings are possible, though these format are typical one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Standard 8bytes
|
||||
modifiers(bitmap) 1byte
|
||||
reserved 1byte(not used)
|
||||
keys(array) 1byte*6
|
||||
Standard report can send 6keys plus 8modifiers simultaneously.
|
||||
Standard report is used by most keyboards in the marketplace.
|
||||
Standard report is identical to boot protocol report.
|
||||
Standard report is hard to suffer from compatibility problems.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Extended standard 16,32,64bytes
|
||||
modifiers(bitmap) 1byte
|
||||
reserved 1byte(not used)
|
||||
keys(array) 1byte*(14,32,62)
|
||||
Extended report can send N-keys by using N+2bytes.
|
||||
Extended report is expected to be compatible with boot protocol.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Bitmap 16,32,64bytes
|
||||
keys(bitmap) (16,32)bytes
|
||||
Bitmap report can send at most 128keys by 16bytes and 256keys by 32bytes.
|
||||
Bitmap report can achieve USB NKRO efficiently in terms of report size.
|
||||
Bitmap report needs a deliberation for boot protocol implementation.
|
||||
Bitmap report descriptor sample:
|
||||
0x05, 0x01, // Usage Page (Generic Desktop),
|
||||
0x09, 0x06, // Usage (Keyboard),
|
||||
0xA1, 0x01, // Collection (Application),
|
||||
// bitmap of modifiers
|
||||
0x75, 0x01, // Report Size (1),
|
||||
0x95, 0x08, // Report Count (8),
|
||||
0x05, 0x07, // Usage Page (Key Codes),
|
||||
0x19, 0xE0, // Usage Minimum (224),
|
||||
0x29, 0xE7, // Usage Maximum (231),
|
||||
0x15, 0x00, // Logical Minimum (0),
|
||||
0x25, 0x01, // Logical Maximum (1),
|
||||
0x81, 0x02, // Input (Data, Variable, Absolute), ;Modifier byte
|
||||
// LED output report
|
||||
0x95, 0x05, // Report Count (5),
|
||||
0x75, 0x01, // Report Size (1),
|
||||
0x05, 0x08, // Usage Page (LEDs),
|
||||
0x19, 0x01, // Usage Minimum (1),
|
||||
0x29, 0x05, // Usage Maximum (5),
|
||||
0x91, 0x02, // Output (Data, Variable, Absolute),
|
||||
0x95, 0x01, // Report Count (1),
|
||||
0x75, 0x03, // Report Size (3),
|
||||
0x91, 0x03, // Output (Constant),
|
||||
// bitmap of keys
|
||||
0x95, (REPORT_BYTES-1)*8, // Report Count (),
|
||||
0x75, 0x01, // Report Size (1),
|
||||
0x15, 0x00, // Logical Minimum (0),
|
||||
0x25, 0x01, // Logical Maximum(1),
|
||||
0x05, 0x07, // Usage Page (Key Codes),
|
||||
0x19, 0x00, // Usage Minimum (0),
|
||||
0x29, (REPORT_BYTES-1)*8-1, // Usage Maximum (),
|
||||
0x81, 0x02, // Input (Data, Variable, Absolute),
|
||||
0xc0 // End Collection
|
||||
where REPORT_BYTES is a report size in bytes.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Considerations
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
Compatibility
|
||||
boot protocol
|
||||
minor/old system
|
||||
Some BIOS doesn't send SET_PROTOCOL request, a keyboard can't switch to boot protocol mode.
|
||||
This may cause a problem on a keyboard which uses other report than Standard.
|
||||
Reactivity
|
||||
USB polling time
|
||||
OS/Driver processing time
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Windows Problem
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
1. Windows accepts only 6keys in case of Standard report.
|
||||
It should be able to send 6keys plus 8modifiers.
|
||||
2. Windows accepts only 10keys in case of 16bytes Extended report.
|
||||
It should be able to send 14keys plus 8modifiers.
|
||||
3. Windows accepts only 18keys in case of 32bytes Extended report.
|
||||
It should be able to send 30keys plus 8modifiers.
|
||||
If keys are pressed in excess of the number, wrong keys are registered on Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
This problem will be reportedly fixed soon.(2010/12/05)

# Quick Start Directions
|
||||
|
||||
This project includes a Vagrantfile that will allow you to build a new firmware for your keyboard very easily without major changes to your primary operating system. This also ensures that when you clone the project and perform a build, you have the exact same environment as anyone else using the Vagrantfile to build. This makes it much easier for people to help you troubleshoot any issues you encounter.
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
Using the `/Vagrantfile` in this repository requires you have [Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com/) as well as [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/) (or [VMware Workstation](https://www.vmware.com/products/workstation) and [Vagrant VMware plugin](http://www.vagrantup.com/vmware) but the (paid) VMware plugin requires a licensed copy of VMware Workstation/Fusion).
|
||||
|
||||
*COMPATIBILITY NOTICE* Certain versions of Virtualbox 5 appear to have an incompatibility with the Virtualbox extensions installed in the boxes in this Vagrantfile. If you encounter any issues with the /vagrant mount not succeeding, please upgrade your version of Virtualbox to at least 5.0.12. **Alternately, you can try running the following command:** `vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Other than having Vagrant and Virtualbox installed and possibly a restart of your computer afterwards, you can simple run a 'vagrant up' anywhere inside the folder where you checked out this project and it will start a Linux virtual machine that contains all the tools required to build this project. There is a post Vagrant startup hint that will get you off on the right foot, otherwise you can also reference the build documentation below.
|
||||
|
||||
Build Firmware and Program Controller
|
||||
-------------------------------------
|
||||
See [build_guide.md](build_guide.md), or the readme in the particular keyboards/* folder.
|
||||
|
||||
Change your keymap
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
See [keymap.md](keymap.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## Flashing the firmware
|
||||
|
||||
The "easy" way to flash the firmware is using a tool from your host OS like the Teensy programming app. [ErgoDox EZ](/keyboards/ergodox/readme.md) gives a great example.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to program via the command line you can uncomment the ['modifyvm'] lines in the Vagrantfile to enable the USB passthrough into Linux and then program using the command line tools like dfu-util/dfu-programmer or you can install the Teensy CLI version.
