Build Firmware and Program Controller
=====================================
Download and Install
--------------------
### 1. Install Tools
1. **Toolchain** On Windows install [Atmel AVR Toolchain][atmelgcc] for AVR GCC compiler and [Cygwin][cygwin](or [MinGW][mingw]) for shell terminal. On Mac you can use [CrossPack][crosspack] or your favorite package manager. On Linux you can install AVR GCC with your favorite package manager.
2. **Programmer** Install [dfu-programmer][dfu-prog]. GUI tool [Atmel FLIP][flip] also can be used on Windows.

3. **Driver** On Windows you start DFU bootloader on the chip first time you will see 'Found New Hardware Wizard' to install driver. If you install device driver properly you can find chip name like 'ATmega32U4' under 'LibUSB-Win32 Devices' tree on 'Device Manager'. If not you shall need to update its driver on 'Device Manager'. You will find the driver in `FLIP` install directory like: C:\Program Files (x86)\Atmel\Flip 3.4.5\usb\. In case of `dfu-programmer` use its driver.
If you use PJRC Teensy you don't need step 2 and 3 above, just get [Teensy loader][teensy-loader].
### 2. Download source
2014-07-10 08:28:36 +02:00
You can find firmware source at github:
- <https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard>
2014-07-10 08:28:36 +02:00
If you are familiar with `Git` tools you are recommended to use it but you can also download zip archive from:
- <https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/archive/master.zip>
Build firmware
--------------
### 1. Open terminal
2014-07-10 08:28:36 +02:00
Open terminal window to get access to commands. Use Cygwin(or MingGW) `shell terminal` in Windows or `Terminal.app` on Mac OSX. In Windows press `Windows` key and `R` then enter `cmd` in 'Run command' dialog showing up.
### 2. Change directory
Move to project directory in the firmware source.
cd tmk_keyboard/{'keyboard' or 'converter'}/<project>
### 3. Make
Build firmware using GNU `make` command. You'll see `<project>_<variant>.hex` file in that directory unless something unexpected occurs in build process.
2013-12-16 19:53:02 +01:00
make -f Makefile.<variant> clean
make -f Makefile.<variant>
Program Controller
------------------
Now you have **hex** file to program on current directory. This **hex** is only needed to program your controller, other files are used for development and you may leave and forget them.
### 1. Start bootloader
How to program controller depends on controller chip and its board design. To program AVR USB chips you'll need to start it up in bootloader mode. Most of boards with the chip have a push button to let bootloader come up. Consult with your controller board manual.
### 2. Program with DFU bootloader
Stock AVR USB chips have DFU bootloader by factory default. `FLIP` is a DFU programmer on Windows offered by Atmel. Open source command line tool `dfu-programmer` also supports AVR chips, it runs on Linux, Mac OSX and even Windows.
To program AVR chip with DFU bootloader use `FLIP` or `dfu-programmer`.
If you have a proper program command in `Makefile` just type this.
`FLIP` has two version of tool, GUI app and command line program. If you want GUI see tutorial below.
To use command line tool run this command. Note that you need to set PATH variable properly.
$ make -f Makefile.<variant> flip
Or to program with `dfu-programmer` run:
$ make -f Makefile.<variant> dfu
#### FLIP GUI tutorial
1. On menu bar click Device -> Select, then choose your chip name.
2. On menu bar click Settings -> Communication -> USB, then click 'Open' button on 'USB Port Connection' dialog.
2014-01-03 01:05:52 +01:00
At this point you'll see grey-outed widgets on the app get colored and ready.
3. On menu bar click File -> Load HEX File, then select your firmware hex file on File Selector dialog.
4. On 'Operations Flow' panel click 'Run' button to load the firmware binary to the chip. Note that you should keep 'Erase', 'Blank Check', 'Program' and 'Verify' check boxes selected.
5. Re-plug USB cord or click 'Start Application' button to restart your controller.
Done.

### 3. Program with Teensy Loader
If you have PJRC Teensy see instruction of `Teensy Loader`.
- <http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader.html>
Or use this command if you have command line version of Teensy Loader installed.
$ make -f Makefile.<variant> teensy
### 4. Program with Other programmer
2014-01-03 01:05:52 +01:00
You may want to use other programmer like `avrdude` with AVRISPmkII, Arduino or USBasp. In that case you can still use make target `program` for build with configuring `PROGRAM_CMD` in Makefile.
$ make -f Makefile.<variant> program

Makefile Options
----------------
### 1. MCU and Frequency.
MCU = atmega32u4 # Teensy 2.0
#MCU = at90usb1286 # Teensy++ 2.0
F_CPU = 16000000
2014-07-10 08:28:36 +02:00
Set your MCU and its clock in Hz.
# Boot Section Size in *bytes*
# Teensy halfKay 512
# Atmel DFU loader 4096
# LUFA bootloader 4096
OPT_DEFS += -DBOOTLOADER_SIZE=4096
2014-07-10 08:28:36 +02:00
If you are using PJRC Teensy use `512` for `BOOTLOADER_SIZE`, otherwise use `4096` unless you are sure.
