Go to Windows Device Manager and find the keyboard (plug it in while holding down `8` (second from top, second from left, with usb plug is at the top)). It can be found under Human Interface Devices or under Keyboards. +2. Go to properties and the Details tab to find the hardware ID. You want the VID and the PID (code after the underscore). Plug them into HIDBootFlash and hit Find Device. +3. Use `make jj4x4:<keymap-name>` to generate the .hex file in the qmk basis folder. Select the .hex file in HIDBootFlash and press Flash Device. + + +## Troubleshooting + +1. Try plugging the board in while pressing `8` (usb plug at top, second from top, second from left). 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. |
