These commands are for OSX, but all you -need is 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 -``` - -Then, with the keyboard plugged in, simply run this command from the -`qmk_firmware` directory: - -``` -$ make mechmini:program -``` - -If you prefer, you can just build it and flash the firmware directly with -`bootloadHID` if you boot the board while holding down `L_Ctrl` to keep it -in the bootloader: - -``` -$ make mechmini -$ bootloadHID -r mechmini_default.hex -``` - -## Troubleshooting - -From my experience, it's really hard to brick these boards. But these -tricks have been useful when it got stuck in a weird scenario. - -1. Try plugging the board in while pressing `L_Ctrl`. 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. |
