|
|||
to rewrite firmware onto it. Here are some of the parameters to show
|
||||
what things are (and likely aren't) too risky.
|
||||
|
||||
- If a keyboard map does not include RESET, then, to get into DFU
|
||||
- If your keyboard map does not include RESET, then, to get into DFU
|
||||
mode, you will need to press the reset button on the PCB, which
|
||||
requires unscrewing some bits.
|
||||
requires unscrewing the bottom.
|
||||
- Messing with tmk_core / common files might make the keyboard
|
||||
inoperable
|
||||
- Too large a .hex file is trouble; `make dfu` will erase the block,
|
||||
test the size (oops, wrong order!), which errors out, failing to
|
||||
flash the keyboard
|
||||
flash the keyboard, leaving it in DFU mode.
|
||||
- To this end, note that the maximum .hex file size on Planck is
|
||||
7000h (28672 decimal)
|
||||
```Linking: .build/planck_rev4_cbbrowne.elf [OK]
|
||||
Creating load file for Flash: .build/planck_rev4_cbbrowne.hex [OK]
|
||||
|
||||
Size after:
|
||||
text data bss dec hex filename
|
||||
0 22396 0 22396 577c planck_rev4_cbbrowne.hex
|
||||
```
|
||||
- The above file is of size 22396/577ch, which is less than
|
||||
28672/7000h
|
||||
- As long as you have a suitable alternative .hex file around, you
|
||||
can retry, loading that one
|
||||
- DFU tools do /not/ allow you to write into the bootloader (unless
|
||||
you throw in extra fruitsalad of options), so there is little risk
|
||||
there.
