Kinesis Advantage 360 Pro

Building the firmware

1. Execute make to build firmware for both halves or make left to only build firmware for the left hand side.
2. Check the firmware directory for the latest firmware build. The first part of the filename is the timestamp when the firmware was built.

Cleanup

The built docker container and compiled firmware files can be deleted with make clean. This might be necessary if you updated your fork from V2.0 to V3.0 and are encountering build failures.

Creating the docker container takes some time. Therefore make clean_firmware can be used to only clean firmware without removing the docker container. Similarly make clean_image can be used to remove the docker container without removing compiled firmware files.

Flashing firmware

Follow the programming instruction on page 8 of the Quick Start Guide to flash the firmware.

Overview

1. Extract the firmwares from the archive downloaded from the GitHub build job (If using the cloud builder) or the firmware folder (If building locally).
2. Connect the left side keyboard to USB.
3. Press Mod+macro1 to put the left side into bootloader mode; it should attach to your computer as a USB drive.
4. Copy left.uf2 to the USB drive and it will disconnect.
5. Power off both keyboards (by unplugging them and making sure the switches are off).
6. Turn on the left side keyboard with the switch.
7. Connect the right side keyboard to USB to power it on.
8. Press Mod+macro3 to put the right side into bootloader mode to attach it as a USB drive.
9. Copy right.uf2 to the mounted drive.
10. Unplug the right side keyboard and turn it back on.
11. Enjoy!

Note: There are also physical reset buttons on both keyboards which can be used to enter and exit the bootloader mode. Their location is described in section 2.7 on page 9 in the User Manual and use is described in section 5.9 on page 14.

Note: Some operating systems wont always treat the drive as ejected after the settings-reset file is flashed or may throw a spurious error, this doesn't mean that the flashing process has failed.
