QMK bootloader mode

Hi to all.

I am doing tests with the QMK firmware in a converter for an M122. So far, I've gotten everything to work properly. However, I have not been able to reset the controller (promicro) from the keyboard.

I've enabled bootmagic support, and assigned a key on layer 1 for reset. But it does not work. Unlike the reset in TMK, which put the converter in bootloader mode, in QMK it simply resets the keyboard.

According to the documentation, bootmagic only works when connecting the keyboard, pressing the key corresponding to the position (0,0) in the matrix. On the M122, it should be 'F13', but neither this one nor anyone near the edges works.

I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Check your makefile, how is the bootloader configured? It should be set for caterina for a pro micro

You nailed it.

Adding bootloader config to my rules.mk, worked like a charm. This is my configuration now:

Code: Select all

BOOTLOADER = caterina
BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = yes       # Enable Bootmagic Lite
MOUSEKEY_ENABLE = yes        # Mouse keys
EXTRAKEY_ENABLE = yes       # Audio control and System control
CONSOLE_ENABLE = no         # Console for debug
COMMAND_ENABLE = no         # Commands for debug and configuration
NKRO_ENABLE = yes
BACKLIGHT_ENABLE = no       # Enable keyboard backlight functionality
AUDIO_ENABLE = no           # Audio output
RGBLIGHT_ENABLE = no        # Enable WS2812 RGB underlight.
PS2_USE_USART = no
PS2_USE_INT = yes
