# Firmware
|
|
|
|
## Flash the firmware
|
|
|
|
There are several ways to flash the firmware,
|
|
but using [QMK Toolbox](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_toolbox) is the easiest way.
|
|
|
|
### Download QMK Toolbox
|
|
|
|
Download QMK Toolbox from the following link.\
|
|
<https://github.com/qmk/qmk_toolbox/releases/>
|
|
|
|
![qmk_toolbox_download](assets/qmk_toolbox_download.jpg)
|
|
|
|
Install QMK Toolbox from the downloaded file. \
|
|
Follow the instructions for each operating system for installation.
|
|
|
|
Open QMK Toolbox, you will see a window like the one below.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Flash the firmware
|
|
|
|
Download the firmware of VIA from the following link.\
|
|
[crkbd_rev1_common_via.hex](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/foostan/qmk_firmware-hex/main/.build/crkbd_rev1_via.hex)
|
|
|
|
Specify the file downloaded from "**Open**" in QMK Toolbox.
|
|
And enable the check box for "**Auto-Flash**".
|
|
|
|
![qmk_toolbox_flash](assets/qmk_toolbox_flash.jpg)
|
|
|
|
With the keyboard connected via USB,
|
|
press the reset button **twice** or short **GND & RST** pins on ProMicro to start flashing the firmware. \
|
|
If you see the message, it's done.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Once the firmware has been written to one side of the Pro Micro,
|
|
follow the same procedure for the other side.
|
|
|
|
### (Optional) If you build the firmware yourself
|
|
|
|
Refer to [the QMK _getting started_ guide](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs_getting_started),
|
|
and install the necessary software according to your OS
|
|
(it takes quite some time to install).
|
|
|
|
Once the environment is ready,
|
|
build the firmware for Crkbd with the following command.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make crkbd:via
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When the build is completed,
|
|
execute the following command to flash.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make crkbd:via:avrdude
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When you execute it,
|
|
you will see the following output (`.`'s progressively appearing).
|
|
Press the reset switch **twice** or short **GND & RST** pins on ProMicro during this time to complete the firmware writing.
|
|
Depending on the ProMicro, it may be only require pressing reset switch once.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Checking file size of crkbd_rev1_default.hex [OK]
|
|
* File size is fine-27328/28672
|
|
Copying crkbd_rev1_default.hex to qmk_firmware folder [OK]
|
|
Detecting USB port, reset your controller now ........
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once the firmware has been written to one side of the Pro Micro,
|
|
follow the same procedure for the other side.
|
|
|
|
