QMK on your PS2AVR(GB) boards

Unlike keyboards that can be natively powered by QMK, ps2avr type boards not only use a different microcontroller, but also a slightly different way of flashing.

Please be advised that while QMK is possible on ps2avr(gb) boards, problems such as overheating, random shutdowns, have been reported.

Requirements before starting

  1. Your ps2avr(gb) keyboard is currently supported in QMK
  2. You have an appropriately generated firmware file in the .hex format for your keyboard.
  3. You know how to put your keyboard in reset.

Flashing on macOS

  1. Open up a terminal, it is in Applications/Utilities/Terminal

  2. Install homebrew by copy and pasting:

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

  3. Install all dependencies. Please refer to QMK's Installing Build Tools and refer to the macOS section.

  4. Next, copy and paste the following lines:

    brew cask install crosspack-avr     
brew install --HEAD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robertgzr/homebrew-tap/master/bootloadhid.rb
brew install python
pip3 install pyusb

  5. Put your keyboard into reset.

  6. Type in

    bootloadHID -r path_to_your_hexfile.hex

Flashing on Windows

  1. Download HIDBootFlash.
  2. Open up HIDBootFlash.exe
  3. Put your keyboard into reset.
  4. Click the Find Device button.
  5. Click the Open hex File button and navigate to your hex file.
  6. Clilck the Flash Device button.
