My version of the firmware closely follows the partial-rewrite branch of ben-blazak. My working branch is also the partial-rewrite branch.

Steps to set up when on a new computer

  1. Make sure all the stuff needed to compile is installed sudo apt-get install gcc-avr binutils-avr avr-libc
  2. Set up the Linux Dev Rules and install Teensy Loader http://pjrc.com/teensy/loader_linux.html

Steps to edit the layout and flash the firmware

  1. Edit the layout file at /firmware/keyboard/ergodox/layout
  2. cd to /firmware and run the make command to compile the firmware with your new layout
  3. This will generate a new firmware.hex file and place it in the /firmware directory
  4. Run the Teensy Loader to flash the new firmware.hex file to the keyboard
