## Flashing



QMK Toolbox supports the following bootloaders:



 - ARM DFU (APM32, Kiibohd, STM32, STM32duino) via [dfu-util](http://dfu-util.sourceforge.net/)

 - Atmel/LUFA/QMK DFU via [dfu-programmer](http://dfu-programmer.github.io/)

 - Atmel SAM-BA (Massdrop) via [Massdrop Loader](https://github.com/massdrop/mdloader)

 - BootloadHID (Atmel, PS2AVRGB) via [bootloadHID](https://www.obdev.at/products/vusb/bootloadhid.html)

 - Caterina (Arduino, Pro Micro) via [avrdude](http://nongnu.org/avrdude/)

 - HalfKay (Teensy, Ergodox EZ) via [Teensy Loader](https://pjrc.com/teensy/loader_cli.html)

 - LUFA/QMK HID via [hid_bootloader_cli](https://github.com/abcminiuser/lufa)

 - WB32 DFU (WB32) via [wb32-dfu-updater_cli](https://github.com/WestberryTech/wb32-dfu-updater)

 - LUFA Mass Storage



And the following ISP flashers:



 - AVRISP (Arduino ISP)

 - USBasp (AVR ISP)

 - USBTiny (AVR Pocket)



If there's an interest in any others, they can be added if their commands are known.



## HID Console



The Toolbox also listens to HID messages on usage page `0xFF31` and usage `0x0074`, compatible with PJRC's [`hid_listen`](https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/hid_listen.html).



If you have `CONSOLE_ENABLE = yes` in your keyboard's `rules.mk`, you can print messages with `xprintf()`, useful for debugging:

See the [QMK Docs](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs_testing_debugging?id=debugging) for more information.



## Installation



### System Requirements



* macOS 12 (Monterey) or higher

### Dependencies



When using the QMK Toolbox on Windows, it will prompt at first run to install the necessary drivers.



If you run into any issues with "Device not found" when flashing, then you may need to use [Zadig](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/driver_installation_zadig) to fix the issue.
