# Flashing Instructions and Bootloader Information
2017-10-30 04:36:38 +06:00
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
There are quite a few different types of bootloaders that keyboards use, and almost all of them use their own flashing method and tools. Luckily, projects like the [QMK Toolbox ](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_toolbox/releases ) aim to support as many of them as possible, but this article will describe the different types of bootloaders, and available methods for flashing them.
2017-10-30 04:36:38 +06:00
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
For AVR-based keyboards, QMK will automatically calculate if your `.hex` file is the right size to be flashed to the device based on the `BOOTLOADER` value set in `rules.mk` , and output the total size in bytes (along with the max).
2017-11-28 10:08:21 +06:00
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
You will also be able to use the CLI to flash your keyboard, by running:
```
$ qmk flash -kb < keyboard > -km < keymap >
```
See the [`qmk flash` ](cli_commands.md#qmk-flash ) documentation for more information.

## Atmel DFU
2017-10-30 04:36:38 +06:00
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
Atmel's DFU bootloader comes on all USB AVRs by default (except for 16/32U4RC), and is used by many keyboards that have their own ICs on their PCBs (older OLKB boards, Clueboards). Some keyboards may also use LUFA's DFU bootloader, or QMK's fork of it (newer OLKB boards), that adds in additional features specific to that hardware.
To ensure compatibility with the DFU bootloader, make sure this block is present in your `rules.mk` (optionally with `lufa-dfu` or `qmk-dfu` instead):
2017-11-28 10:08:21 +06:00
2019-09-21 11:06:32 +06:00
```make
# Bootloader selection
BOOTLOADER = atmel-dfu
```

Flashing sequence:
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
1. Enter the bootloader using any of the following methods:
* Press the `RESET` keycode
* Press the `RESET` button on the PCB if available
* Short RST to GND quickly
2017-10-30 04:36:38 +06:00
2. Wait for the OS to detect the device
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
3. Erase the flash memory (will be done automatically if using the Toolbox or CLI/`make` command)
2017-10-30 04:36:38 +06:00
4. Flash a .hex file
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
5. Reset the device into application mode (will be done automatically as above)
2017-10-30 04:36:38 +06:00

### QMK DFU
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
QMK maintains [a fork of the LUFA DFU bootloader ](https://github.com/qmk/lufa/tree/master/Bootloaders/DFU ) that additionally performs a simple matrix scan for exiting the bootloader and returning to the application, as well as flashing an LED/making a ticking noise with a speaker when things are happening. To enable these features, add the following defines to your `config.h` :
2017-11-28 10:08:21 +06:00
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
```c
#define QMK_ESC_OUTPUT F1 // COL pin if COL2ROW
#define QMK_ESC_INPUT D5 // ROW pin if COL2ROW
// Optional:
//#define QMK_LED E6
//#define QMK_SPEAKER C6
```
Currently we do not recommend making `QMK_ESC` the same key as the one designated for [Bootmagic Lite ](feature_bootmagic.md#bootmagic-lite ), as holding it down will cause the MCU to loop back and forth between entering and exiting the bootloader.
2017-11-28 10:08:21 +06:00
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
The manufacturer and product strings are automatically pulled from `config.h` , with " Bootloader" appended to the product string.
2017-11-28 10:08:21 +06:00
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
To generate this bootloader, use the `bootloader` target, eg. `make planck/rev4:default:bootloader` . To generate a production-ready .hex file (combining QMK and the bootloader), use the `production` target, eg. `make planck/rev4:default:production` .
2019-03-19 03:22:02 +06:00
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
### `make` Targets
2019-03-19 03:22:02 +06:00
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
* `:dfu` : Checks every 5 seconds until a DFU device is available, and then flashes the firmware.
* `:dfu-split-left` and `:dfu-split-right` : Flashes the firmware as with `:dfu` , but also sets the handedness setting in EEPROM. This is ideal for Elite-C-based split keyboards.

## Caterina
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
Arduino boards and their clones use the [Caterina bootloader ](https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-avr/tree/master/bootloaders/caterina ) or a variant of it (any keyboard built with a Pro Micro or clone, and the Pololu A-Star), and uses the AVR109 protocol to communicate through virtual serial.
2017-10-30 04:36:38 +06:00
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
To ensure compatibility with the Caterina bootloader, make sure this block is present in your `rules.mk` :
2017-10-30 04:36:38 +06:00
2019-09-21 11:06:32 +06:00

1. Enter the bootloader using any of the following methods (you only have 7 seconds to flash once it enters; some variants may require you to reset twice within 750 milliseconds):
* Press the `RESET` keycode
* Press the `RESET` button on the PCB if available
* Short RST to GND quickly
2017-10-30 04:36:38 +06:00
2. Wait for the OS to detect the device

2018-09-28 08:02:12 +06:00
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
* `:avrdude` : Checks every 5 seconds until a Caterina device is available (by detecting a new COM port), and then flashes the firmware.
* `:avrdude-loop` : Flashes the firmware as with `:avrdude` , but after each device is flashed, will attempt to flash again. This is useful for bulk flashing. Hit Ctrl+C to escape the loop.
* `:avrdude-split-left` and `:avrdude-split-right` : Flashes the firmware as with `:avrdude` , but also sets the handedness setting in EEPROM. This is ideal for Pro Micro-based split keyboards.

## HalfKay
2019-03-19 03:22:02 +06:00
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
HalfKay is a super-slim bootloader developed by PJRC that presents itself as an HID device (which requires no additional driver), and comes preflashed on all Teensys, namely the 2.0. It is currently closed-source, and thus once overwritten (eg. via ISP flashing another bootloader), cannot be restored.
2017-10-30 04:36:38 +06:00
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
To ensure compatibility with the Halfkay bootloader, make sure this block is present in your `rules.mk` :

## USBasploader
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
USBasploader is a bootloader originally by [Objective Development ](https://www.obdev.at/products/vusb/usbasploader.html ). It emulates a USBasp ISP programmer and is used in some non-USB AVR chips such as the ATmega328P, which run V-USB.
2019-07-16 08:11:59 +06:00
To ensure compatibility with the USBasploader bootloader, make sure this block is present in your `rules.mk` :
2019-09-21 11:06:32 +06:00
```make
# Bootloader selection

2018-11-03 23:08:05 +06:00
2019-08-24 21:35:11 +06:00
## BootloadHID
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
BootloadHID is a USB bootloader for AVR microcontrollers. It presents itself as an HID input device, much like HalfKay, and can therefore be run without installing any driver on Windows.
2019-08-24 21:35:11 +06:00
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00

## STM32/APM32 DFU
2019-08-24 21:35:11 +06:00
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
All STM32 and APM32 MCUs, except for F103 (see the [STM32duino section ](#stm32duino )) come preloaded with a factory bootloader that cannot be modified nor deleted.
2019-08-24 21:35:11 +06:00
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00

2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
* If a reset circuit is present, tap the `RESET` button on the PCB; some boards may also have a toggle switch that must be flipped
* Otherwise, you need to bridge `BOOT0` to VCC (via `BOOT0` button or jumper), short `RESET` to GND (via `RESET` button or jumper), and then let go of the `BOOT0` bridge
2018-11-03 23:08:05 +06:00
2. Wait for the OS to detect the device
3. Flash a .bin file
4. Reset the device into application mode (may be done automatically)

### `make` Targets
* `:dfu-util` : Waits until an STM32 bootloader device is available, and then flashes the firmware.
* `:dfu-util-split-left` and `:dfu-util-split-right` : Flashes the firmware as with `:avrdude` , but also sets the handedness setting in EEPROM. This is ideal for Proton-C-based split keyboards.
* `:st-link-cli` : Allows you to flash the firmware via the ST-Link CLI utility, rather than dfu-util. Requires an ST-Link dongle.
* `:st-flash` : Allows you to flash the firmware via the `st-flash` utility from [STLink Tools ](https://github.com/stlink-org/stlink ), rather than dfu-util. Requires an ST-Link dongle.
## STM32duino
2019-03-19 03:22:02 +06:00
2021-01-20 09:04:21 +06:00
This bootloader is used almost exclusively for STM32F103 boards, as they do not come with a USB DFU bootloader. The source code and prebuilt binaries can be found [here ](https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/STM32duino-bootloader ).

## Kiibohd DFU
Keyboards produced by Input Club use NXP Kinetis microcontrollers rather than STM32, and come with their own [custom bootloader ](https://github.com/kiibohd/controller/tree/master/Bootloader ), however the process and protocol is largely the same.
The `rules.mk` setting for this bootloader is `kiibohd` , but since this bootloader is limited to Input Club boards, it should not be necessary to set at keymap or user level.

* [CI] Format code according to conventions (#12650)
* feat: infinite timeout for leader key (#6580)

* docs(leader_key): infinite leader timeout docs
* Format code according to conventions (#12680)
* Update ADC driver for STM32F1xx, STM32F3xx, STM32F4xx (#12403)
* Fix default ADC_RESOLUTION for ADCv3 (and ADCv4)
Recent ChibiOS update removed ADC_CFGR1_RES_10BIT from the ADCv3 headers
(that macro should not have been there, because ADCv3 has CFGR instead of
CFGR1). Fix the default value for ADC_RESOLUTION to use ADC_CFGR_RES_10BITS
if it is defined (that name is used for ADCv3 and ADCv4).
* Update ADC docs to match the actually used resolution
ADC driver for ChibiOS actually uses the 10-bit resolution by default
(probably to match AVR); fix the documentation accordingly. Also add
both ADC_CFGR_RES_10BITS and ADC_CFGR1_RES_10BIT constants (these names
differ according to the ADC implementation in the particular MCU).
* Fix pinToMux() for B12 and B13 on STM32F3xx
Testing on STM32F303CCT6 revealed that the ADC mux values for B12 and
B13 pins were wrong.
* Add support for all possible analog pins on STM32F1xx
Added ADC mux values for pins A0...A7, B0, B1, C0...C5 on STM32F1xx
(they are the same at least for STM32F103x8 and larger F103 devices, and
also F102, F105, F107 families). Actually tested on STM32F103C8T6
(therefore pins C0...C5 were not tested).
Pins F6...F10, which are present on STM32F103x[C-G] in 144-pin packages,
cannot be supported at the moment, because those pins are connected only
to ADC3, but the ChibiOS ADC driver for STM32F1xx supports only ADC1.
* Add support for all possible analog pins on STM32F4xx
Added ADC mux values for pins A0...A7, B0, B1, C0...C5 and optionally
F3...F10 (if STM32_ADC_USE_ADC3 is enabled). These mux values are
apparently the same for all F4xx devices, except some smaller devices may
not have ADC3.
Actually tested on STM32F401CCU6, STM32F401CEU6, STM32F411CEU6 (using
various WeAct “Blackpill” boards); only pins A0...A7, B0, B1 were tested.
Pins F3...F10 are inside `#if STM32_ADC_USE_ADC3` because some devices
which don't have ADC3 also don't have the GPIOF port, therefore the code
which refers to Fx pins does not compile.
* Fix STM32F3xx ADC mux table in documentation
The ADC driver documentation had some errors in the mux table for STM32F3xx.
Fix this table to match the datasheet and the actual code (mux settings for
B12 and B13 were also tested on a real STM32F303CCT6 chip).
* Add STM32F1xx ADC pins to the documentation
* Add STM32F4xx ADC pins to the documentation
* Add initial support for tinyuf2 bootloader (when hosted on F411 blackpill) (#12600)
* Add support for jumping to tinyuf2 bootloader. Adds blackpill UF2 example.
* Update flashing.md
* Update chconf.h
* Update config.h
* Update halconf.h
* Update mcuconf.h
* eeprom driver: Refactor where eeprom driver initialisation (and EEPROM emulation initialisation) occurs to make it non-target-specific. (#12671)
* Add support for MCU = STM32F446 (#12619)
* Add support for MCU = STM32F446

This converts the array that the Swap Hands feature uses to use PROGMEM,

runtime, there is no reason to keep it in memory. Especially for AVR
boards, as memory is a precious resource.

I noticed this discrepancy (last row of the matrix treated differently than the
others) when optimizing the input latency of my keyboard controller, see also
https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2021-05-08-keyboard-input-latency-qmk-kinesis/
Before this commit, when tuning the delays I noticed ghost key presses when
pressing the F2 key, which is on the last row of the keyboard matrix: the
dead_grave key, which is on the first row of the keyboard matrix, would be
incorrectly detected as pressed.
After this commit, all keyboard matrix rows are interpreted correctly.
I suspect that my setup is more susceptible to this nuance than others because I
use GPIO_INPUT_PIN_DELAY=0 and hence don’t have another delay that might mask
the problem.

## tinyuf2
Keyboards may opt into supporting the tinyuf2 bootloader. This is currently only supported on the F411 blackpill.
The `rules.mk` setting for this bootloader is `tinyuf2` , and can be specified at the keymap or user level.
To ensure compatibility with the tinyuf2 bootloader, make sure this block is present in your `rules.mk` :
```make
# Bootloader selection
BOOTLOADER = tinyuf2
```
Compatible flashers:
* Any application able to copy a file from one place to another, such as _macOS Finder_ or _Windows Explorer_ .
Flashing sequence:
1. Enter the bootloader using any of the following methods:
* Tap the `RESET` keycode
* Double-tap the `nRST` button on the PCB.
2. Wait for the OS to detect the device
3. Copy the .uf2 file to the new USB disk
4. Wait for the keyboard to become available
