JJ50
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
This is a port of the QMK firmware for boards that are based on the
|
|
ps2avrGB firmware, like the [ps2avrGB keyboard](https://www.keyclack.com/product/gb-ps2avrgb/), for use on the JJ50, a preonic-like board.
|
|
|
|
Most of the code was taken and amended from YMD96, which in itself was taken from ps2avrGB and amended by Andrew Novak.
|
|
|
|
Note that this is a complete replacement for the firmware, so you won't be
|
|
using Bootmapper Client to change any keyboard settings, since not all the
|
|
USB report options are supported.
|
|
|
|
Hardware Supported: JJ50 with the ATmega32a chip.
|
|
Hardware Availability: [KPrepublic on AliExpress](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/jj50-v1-0-Custom-Mechanical-Keyboard-50-PCB-programmed-50-preonic-layouts-bface-firmware-with-rgb/32848915277.html)

## Installing and Building
|
|
|
|
Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ make jj50:default:program
|
|
```
|
|
It should detect the keyboard and set it to bootloader mode automatically, prior to flashing firmware.
|
|
|
|
See [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/build_environment_setup.html) then the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/make_instructions.html) for more information.
|
|
|
|
Note that this is a complete replacement for the firmware, so you won't be
|
|
using Bootmapper Client to change any keyboard settings, since not all the
|
|
USB report options are supported.
|
|
In addition you may need the AVR toolchain and `bootloadHID` for flashing:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ brew cask install crosspack-avr
|
|
$ brew install --HEAD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robertgzr/homebrew-tap/master/bootloadhid.rb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In order to use the `./program` script, which can reboot the board into
|
|
the bootloader, you'll need Python 2 with PyUSB installed:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ pip install pyusb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you prefer, you can just build it and flash the firmware directly with
|
|
`bootloadHID` if you boot the board while holding down `Backspace` (`key below top right key`) to keep it
|
|
in the bootloader:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ make jj50
|
|
$ bootloadHID -r jj50_default.hex
|
|
```
|
|
I dont use windows personally, but the following is from ymd96 regarding flashing the atmega32a:
|
|
|
|
Since the JJ50 uses an ATmega32a chip instead of the 32u4, you need to download [HIDBootFlash v.1.0](http://vusb.wikidot.com/project:hidbootflash) for Windows. If anyone knows of a Linux/Mac bootflasher that works, edit this readme!
|
|
On Windows, I use [MINGw](http://www.mingw.org/) to compile the keymaps. On Linux or OSX you can simply use the terminal.
|
|
|
|
Once you have those two pieces of software:
|
|
Build the keyboard with
|
|
```
|
|
$ make jj50:default
|
|
```
|
|
If you make your own layout, change the `default` word to whatever your layout is.
|
|
|
|
And flash the compiled hex file with `HIDBootFlash`. Simply put the board in flashing mode by plugging it in while holding the key below the top right key, and click `find device`. Then you can specify the .hex file and flash it to the device.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
1. Try plugging the board in while pressing `Backspace` (`Key below the top right key`). This will force it to boot only the bootloader without loading the firmware. Once this is done, just reflash the board with the original firmware.
|
|
2. Sometimes USB hubs can act weird, so try connecting the board directly to your computer or plugging/unplugging the USB hub.
|
|
3. If you get an error such as "Resource Unavailable" when attemting to flash on Linux, you may want to compile and run `tools/usb_detach.c`. See `tools/README.md` for more info.
|
|
4. I was occasionally finding that I wasn't flashing changes that I was making to my keymap. If that happens, remove the previous build and simply force rebuild by making with:
|
|
```
|
|
$ rm jj50_default.hex
|
|
$ make -B jj50:default
|
|
$ make -B jj50:default:program
|
|
```
