https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=64916.0Hai guys,
Well wouldn't you know it, but I have flashed the ...5.bin firmware mentioned above, and I have logged into GH and I am typing this post on the keyboard I just flashed...
<drumroll>
...from VirtualBox. That's right, it seems everything is fine and dandy in here.
On my HOST system (OS X) however, it's a different story. I am only able to squeeze out 2, maybe 5, keypresses before the keyboard becomes unresponsive.
I'm not sure what's going on, because it's even after I quit VirtualBox, but I may have to uncheck the filters or whatever just to make sure.
Has anyone else had problems using this firmware on OS X or Linux?
BTW, the included instructions for USB pass-through almost worked for me, but I found the firmware tool was stalling. What happens is that it puts the Poker 2 first into an ISP programming mode, and waits for it to show up as that device.
_Then_ the Poker 2 comes back up with a different device identifier. The problem for USB pass-through is that the filters are per device identifier. So if you have already had your Poker 2 show up before clicking "Download," after clicking do the same thing for the new device that shows up. Then the programming tool should recognize the keyboard again and continue the process.
Cheers
