## Bootloader
|
|
|
|
Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:
|
|
|
|
* **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the top left key and plug in the keyboard. This will also clear EEPROM, so it is a good first step if the keyboard is misbehaving.
|
|
* **Physical reset**: Press the 6x6mm button below the "Alish 40" label, on the underside of the PCB. You may also use your Pro Micro's built-in reset mechanism if that is easier.
|
|
* **Keycode in layout**: There is no key mapped to `QK_BOOT` in the pre-created keymaps, but you may assign this key in any keymaps you create.
|
|
|
|
As a Pro Micro-compatible board, the Alish40 uses `caterina` as its bootloader by default. Many popular Pro Micro alternatives like the Elite-C, Bit-C, Sea-Micro, Puchi-C etc should be flashed with a different bootloader such as `atmel-dfu`.
|
|
|
|
**If the incorrect bootloader is specified, bootmagic reset and the `QK_BOOT` keycode will not work**.
|
|
|
|
To avoid this problem, set the correct bootloader in your custom keymap's `rules.mk` file before compiling, or flash using an appropriate target (e.g. `make reedskeebs/alish40:default:dfu`). See [flashing instructions and bootloader information](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/flashing) for more details.
