16## Mechmini Notes 15 make mechmini/v1:default:flash
17
18Note that this is a complete replacement for the firmware, so you won't be
19using Bootmapper Client to change any keyboard settings, since not all the
20USB report options are supported.
21
22## Installing
23
24First, install the requirements. These commands are for OSX, but all you
25need is the AVR toolchain and `bootloadHID` for flashing:
26
27```
28$ brew cask install crosspack-avr
29$ brew install --HEAD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robertgzr/homebrew-tap/master/bootloadhid.rb
30```
31
32In order to use the `./util/atmega32a_program.py` script, which can reboot the board into
33the bootloader, you'll need Python 2 with PyUSB installed:
34
35```
36$ pip install pyusb
37```
38
39Then, with the keyboard plugged in, simply run this command from the
40`qmk_firmware` directory:
41
42```
43$ make mechmini:program
44```
45
46If you prefer, you can just build it and flash the firmware directly with
47`bootloadHID` if you boot the board while holding down `L_Ctrl` to keep it
48in the bootloader:
49
50```
51$ make mechmini
52$ bootloadHID -r mechmini_default.hex
53```
54
55## Troubleshooting
56
57From my experience, it's really hard to brick these boards. But these
58tricks have been useful when it got stuck in a weird scenario.
59
601. Try plugging the board in while pressing `L_Ctrl`. This will force it
61 to boot only the bootloader without loading the firmware. Once this is
62 done, just reflash the board with the original firmware.
632. Sometimes USB hubs can act weird, so try connecting the board directly
64 to your computer or plugging/unplugging the USB hub.
653. If errors happen with
66`./tmk_core/common/avr/suspend.c` it is likely you implemented a RGB underglow sleep setting previously. Simply comment out the following code found under `void suspend_wakeup_init(void)`:
67```
68ifdef RGBLIGHT_ANIMATIONS
69 rgblight_timer_enable();
70 _delay_ms(50);
71 rgblight_set();
72#endif
73```
74So that the resulting code should know reflect:
75```
76/*#ifdef RGBLIGHT_ANIMATIONS
77 rgblight_timer_enable();
78 _delay_ms(50);
79 rgblight_set();
80#endif*/
81```
82 16
17**Reset Key**: Hold down the key commonly programmed as *L_Ctrl* while plugging in the keyboard.
