A couple weeks ago I decided to create a keyboard flashing GUI to make flashing a firmware easier. I've created many custom firmwares for my customers but they always have to go through a lot of pain to actually flash them. I emailed Jack Humbert over at OLKB and asked him what he thought of my branding that as QMK, and not only was he agreeable, but he pointed me to a GUI tool he started but never finished.
I've spent the last week polishing up the tool, and it's now the only tool you need to flash your keyboard (assuming you can get ahold of a .hex from somewhere.) It can flash any atmega32u4 based keyboard (
teensy, Clueboard, Planck/Atomic, Ergodox, and many many others) using any firmware, not just QMK.
Download Windows and Mac OS X packages here: https://github.com/jackhumbert/qmk_firmware_flasher/releasesMac InstallationOpen the DMG and drag the QMK Keyboard Loader.app to /Applications.
Windows Installation- Install the software
- During installation you will be asked if you wish to install the driver from Atmel. Click Install.
- Plug your keyboard in, press RESET
- Wait while windows tries to find a driver in Windows Update. You can tell it to skip this but you'll still wait 5-10 minutes while it searches Windows Update.
- Run Firmware Flasher
