[WIP] Added support for the b.face keyboard (#2493)
* Added support for the b.face keyboard This commit adds support for the 60% keyboard from winkeyless, the b.face. The basic keyboard layout as well as the RGB backlighting works as expected; the per-key LEDs can be turned on or off but not yet dimmed. A default 60% US-layout is included. * Added link to the bface in the ps2avrGB README

ps2avrGB keyboard firmware
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
This is a port of the QMK firmware for boards that are based on the
|
||||
ps2avrGB firmware, like the [ps2avrGB
|
||||
keyboard](https://www.keyclack.com/product/gb-ps2avrgb/) or the ones sold
|
||||
by [Winkeyless](http://winkeyless.kr/product/ps2avrgb-parts/).
|
||||
|
||||
Note that this is a complete replacement for the firmware, so you won't be
|
||||
using Bootmapper Client to change any keyboard settings, since not all the
|
||||
USB report options are supported.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported Boards
|
||||
|
||||
Only the [B.mini X2](http://winkeyless.kr/product/b-mini-x2-pcb/) has been
|
||||
tested so far (since it's the only one I own). But other boards that use
|
||||
the ps2avrGB firmware should work as well.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installing
|
||||
|
||||
First, install the requirements. These commands are for OSX, but all you
|
||||
need is the AVR toolchain and `bootloadHID` for flashing:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ brew cask install crosspack-avr
|
||||
$ brew install --HEAD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robertgzr/homebrew-tap/master/bootloadhid.rb
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In order to use the `./program` script, which can reboot the board into
|
||||
the bootloader, you'll need Python 2 with PyUSB installed:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ pip install pyusb
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then, with the keyboard plugged in, simply run this command from the
|
||||
`qmk_firmware` directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ make ps2avrGB-program
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you prefer, you can just build it and flash the firmware directly with
|
||||
`bootloadHID` if you boot the board while holding down `L_Ctrl` to keep it
|
||||
in the bootloader:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ make ps2avrGB
|
||||
$ bootloadHID -r ps2avrGB_default.hex
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
From my experience, it's really hard to brick these boards. But these
|
||||
tricks have been useful when it got stuck in a weird scenario.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Try plugging the board in while pressing `L_Ctrl`. This will force it
|
||||
to boot only the bootloader without loading the firmware. Once this is
|
||||
done, just reflash the board with the original firmware.
|
||||
2. Sometimes USB hubs can act weird, so try connecting the board directly
|
||||
to your computer or plugging/unplugging the USB hub.
