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 on the underside of the keyboard. On Rev1, it is above the Pro Micro; on Rev2, it is below the OLED.
  • Keycode in layout: Press the key mapped to QK_BOOT. In the pre-supplied keymaps it is on the second layer, replacing the R key.

As a Pro Micro-compatible board, the BDE defines 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 mechwild/bde:default:dfu). See flashing instructions and bootloader information for more details.
