* Remove superfluous JTAG disable code * 32A has differently named register * Accidentally some operators * 32A also has different JTAG pins * Wrap disable_jtag() in an ifndef * Document this new define * Rename the define, it conflicts with a LUFA thing Also, move the ifndef wrapping to the call in keyboard_setup()

# Debugging FAQ
|
|
|
|
This page details various common questions people have about troubleshooting their keyboards.
|
|
|
|
# Debug Console
|
|
|
|
## `hid_listen` Can't Recognize Device
|
|
When debug console of your device is not ready you will see like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Waiting for device:.........
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
once the device is plugged in then *hid_listen* finds it you will get this message:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Waiting for new device:.........................
|
|
Listening:
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you can't get this 'Listening:' message try building with `CONSOLE_ENABLE=yes` in [Makefile]
|
|
|
|
You may need privilege to access the device on OS like Linux.
|
|
- try `sudo hid_listen`
|
|
|
|
## Can't Get Message on Console
|
|
Check:
|
|
- *hid_listen* finds your device. See above.
|
|
- Enable debug with pressing **Magic**+d. See [Magic Commands](https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard#magic-commands).
|
|
- set `debug_enable=true` usually in `matrix_init()` in **matrix.c**.
|
|
- try using 'print' function instead of debug print. See **common/print.h**.
|
|
- disconnect other devices with console function. See [Issue #97](https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/97).
|
|
|
|
## Linux or UNIX Like System Requires Super User Privilege
|
|
Just use 'sudo' to execute *hid_listen* with privilege.
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo hid_listen
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or add an *udev rule* for TMK devices with placing a file in rules directory. The directory may vary on each system.
|
|
|
|
File: /etc/udev/rules.d/52-tmk-keyboard.rules(in case of Ubuntu)
|
|
```
|
|
# tmk keyboard products https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard
|
|
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="feed", MODE:="0666"
|
|
```

# Miscellaneous

|
## Safety Considerations
|
|
|
|
You probably don't want to "brick" your keyboard, making it impossible
|
|
to rewrite firmware onto it. Here are some of the parameters to show
|
|
what things are (and likely aren't) too risky.
|
|
|
|
- If your keyboard map does not include RESET, then, to get into DFU
|
|
mode, you will need to press the reset button on the PCB, which
|
|
requires unscrewing the bottom.
|
|
- Messing with tmk_core / common files might make the keyboard
|
|
inoperable
|
|
- Too large a .hex file is trouble; `make dfu` will erase the block,
|
|
test the size (oops, wrong order!), which errors out, failing to
|
|
flash the keyboard, leaving it in DFU mode.
|
|
- To this end, note that the maximum .hex file size on Planck is
|
|
7000h (28672 decimal)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Linking: .build/planck_rev4_cbbrowne.elf [OK]
|
|
Creating load file for Flash: .build/planck_rev4_cbbrowne.hex [OK]
|
|
|
|
Size after:
|
|
text data bss dec hex filename
|
|
0 22396 0 22396 577c planck_rev4_cbbrowne.hex
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- The above file is of size 22396/577ch, which is less than
|
|
28672/7000h
|
|
- As long as you have a suitable alternative .hex file around, you
|
|
can retry, loading that one
|
|
- Some of the options you might specify in your keyboard's Makefile
|
|
consume extra memory; watch out for BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE,
|
|
MOUSEKEY_ENABLE, EXTRAKEY_ENABLE, CONSOLE_ENABLE, API_SYSEX_ENABLE
|
|
- DFU tools do /not/ allow you to write into the bootloader (unless
|
|
you throw in extra fruit salad of options), so there is little risk
|
|
there.
|
|
- EEPROM has around a 100000 write cycle. You shouldn't rewrite the
|
|
firmware repeatedly and continually; that'll burn the EEPROM
|
|
eventually.
|
|
|
|
## NKRO Doesn't work
|
|
First you have to compile firmware with this build option `NKRO_ENABLE` in **Makefile**.
|
|
|
|
Try `Magic` **N** command(`LShift+RShift+N` by default) when **NKRO** still doesn't work. You can use this command to toggle between **NKRO** and **6KRO** mode temporarily. In some situations **NKRO** doesn't work you need to switch to **6KRO** mode, in particular when you are in BIOS.
|
|
|
|
If your firmware built with `BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE` you need to turn its switch on by `BootMagic` **N** command(`Space+N` by default). This setting is stored in EEPROM and kept over power cycles.

|
## TrackPoint Needs Reset Circuit (PS/2 Mouse Support)
|
|
Without reset circuit you will have inconsistent result due to improper initialize of the hardware. See circuit schematic of TPM754.

## Can't Read Column of Matrix Beyond 16
|
|
Use `1UL<<16` instead of `1<<16` in `read_cols()` in [matrix.h] when your columns goes beyond 16.
|
|
|
|
In C `1` means one of [int] type which is [16 bit] in case of AVR so you can't shift left more than 15. You will get unexpected zero when you say `1<<16`. You have to use [unsigned long] type with `1UL`.

|
|
|
|
|
|
## Bootloader Jump Doesn't Work
|
|
Properly configure bootloader size in **Makefile**. With wrong section size bootloader won't probably start with **Magic command** and **Boot Magic**.
|
|
```
|
|
# Size of Bootloaders in bytes:
|
|
# Atmel DFU loader(ATmega32U4) 4096
|
|
# Atmel DFU loader(AT90USB128) 8192
|
|
# LUFA bootloader(ATmega32U4) 4096
|
|
# Arduino Caterina(ATmega32U4) 4096
|
|
# USBaspLoader(ATmega***) 2048
|
|
# Teensy halfKay(ATmega32U4) 512
|
|
# Teensy++ halfKay(AT90USB128) 2048
|
|
OPT_DEFS += -DBOOTLOADER_SIZE=4096
|
|
```
|
|
AVR Boot section size are defined by setting **BOOTSZ** fuse in fact. Consult with your MCU datasheet.
|
|
Note that **Word**(2 bytes) size and address are used in datasheet while TMK uses **Byte**.
|
|
|
|
AVR Boot section is located at end of Flash memory like the followings.
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
|
|
If you are using a TeensyUSB, there is a [known bug](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/issues/164) in which the hardware reset button prevents the RESET key from working. Unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in should resolve the problem.
|
|
|
|
## Special Extra Key Doesn't Work (System, Audio Control Keys)
|
|
You need to define `EXTRAKEY_ENABLE` in `rules.mk` to use them in QMK.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
EXTRAKEY_ENABLE = yes # Audio control and System control
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Wakeup from Sleep Doesn't Work
|
|
|
|
In Windows check `Allow this device to wake the computer` setting in Power **Management property** tab of **Device Manager**. Also check BIOS setting.
|
|
|
|
Pressing any key during sleep should wake host.
|
|
|
|
## Using Arduino?
|
|
|
|
**Note that Arduino pin naming is different from actual chip.** For example, Arduino pin `D0` is not `PD0`. Check circuit with its schematics yourself.
|
|
|
|
- http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/arduino-leonardo-schematic_3b.pdf
|
|
- http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/arduino-micro-schematic.pdf
|
|
|
|
Arduino Leonardo and micro have **ATMega32U4** and can be used for TMK, though Arduino bootloader may be a problem.
|
|
|
|
## Enabling JTAG
|
|
|
|
By default, the JTAG debugging interface is disabled as soon as the keyboard starts up. JTAG-capable MCUs come from the factory with the `JTAGEN` fuse set, and it takes over certain pins of the MCU that the board may be using for the switch matrix, LEDs, etc.
|
|
|
|
If you would like to keep JTAG enabled, just add the following to your `config.h`:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
#define NO_JTAG_DISABLE
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Adding LED Indicators of Lock Keys
|
|
You need your own LED indicators for CapsLock, ScrollLock and NumLock? See this post.
|
|
|
|
http://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/tmk-keyboard-firmware-collection-t4478-120.html#p191560
|
|
|
|
## Program Arduino Micro/Leonardo
|
|
Push reset button and then run command like this within 8 seconds.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
avrdude -patmega32u4 -cavr109 -b57600 -Uflash:w:adb_usb.hex -P/dev/ttyACM0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Device name will vary depending on your system.

## USB 3 Compatibility
|
|
I heard some people have a problem with USB 3 port, try USB 2 port.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Mac Compatibility
|
|
### OS X 10.11 and Hub
|

|
|
|
## Problem on BIOS (UEFI)/Resume (Sleep & Wake)/Power Cycles
|
|
Some people reported their keyboard stops working on BIOS and/or after resume(power cycles).
|
|
|
|
As of now root of its cause is not clear but some build options seem to be related. In Makefile try to disable those options like `CONSOLE_ENABLE`, `NKRO_ENABLE`, `SLEEP_LED_ENABLE` and/or others.

## FLIP Doesn't Work
|
|
### `AtLibUsbDfu.dll` Not Found
|
|
Remove current driver and reinstall one FLIP provides from DeviceManager.
