The Iron180 PCB is a F13 TKL PCB with ALPS switches support. It also supports in-switch single-color LEDs and a multi-layout design for default or 7U bottom row, ISO layout, split backspace and right shift.
-As of November 2020, the only way to obtain an Iron180 was through the [Group Buy](https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=109513) which is already over and all spots were filled.
+As of november 2021, the Group Buy of Iron180 is already over and extras were not sold yet. See the [GB page](https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=109513) for more information.

+## How to flash

+### Enter bootloader
+
+The DFU state in the bootloader can be accessed in 3 ways:
-## How to compile
+* **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (usually the top left key or Escape) and plug in the keyboard with the key pressed;
+* **Physical reset button**: press the button on the front of the PCB, next to caps lock, for at least five seconds;
+* **Keycode in layout**: Press the key mapped to `RESET` if it is available (ESCAPE key in layer 1 of the default layout);
-After setting up your build environment, you can compile the Iron180 default keymap by using:
+## Compile firmware and flash

+To build the default layout for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment), use:
make iron180:default

+Then, after accessing the DFU state, use a tool like `dfu-util` or the QMK Toolbox to download that firmware into your PCB. To directly compile-and-flash the PCB after it is put into a DFU state, use
+ make iron180:default:flash
