Hardware Availability: geekhack.org/index.php?topic=90787.0

Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):

make exclusive/e6v2/bmc:default

Flashing

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

Reset Key: Hold down the key located at K00, commonly programmed as left control while plugging in the keyboard. You may also hold down the key located at K50, commonly programmed as the escape key.

Windows:

  1. Download HIDBootFlash.
  2. Place your keyboard into reset.
  3. Press the Find Device button and ensure that your keyboard is found.
  4. Press the Open .hex File button and locate the .hex file you created.
  5. Press the Flash Device button and wait for the process to complete.

macOS:

  1. Install homebrew by typing the following:

    /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
    
  2. Install crosspack-avr.

    brew cask install crosspack-avr
    
  3. Install the following packages:

    brew install python
    pip3 install pyusb
    brew install --HEAD`https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robertgzr/homebrew-tap/master/bootloadhid.rb
    
    
  4. Place your keyboard into reset.

  5. Flash the board by typing bootloadHID -r followed by the path to your .hex file.
