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 + make ymd75:default -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 ymd75_default.hex -$ make -B ymd75:default -$ make -B ymd75:default:program -``` +Flashing example for this keyboard ([after setting up the bootloadHID flashing environment](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/flashing_bootloadhid)) + make ymd75:default:flash +**Reset Key**: Hold down the key located at *Key below the top right key*, commonly programmed as *Backspace* while plugging in the keyboard. +See the [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) and the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information.
