Disclaimer:
- Bluetooth connectivity will not work after this modification
- On my system, when you first plug the usb cable, it almost never connects at the first time;
I’ve added
#define NO_USB_STARTUP_CHECK = yes
to theconfig.h
to fix it. I’m really not sure why this fixes it but I’ve got the idea from here. > https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/issues/5585
How to do it:
Using this guide; https://sonixqmk.github.io//SonixDocs/install/
- Setup QMK environment with Sonix QMK repo
- Apply config and keymap files
- Download “Sonix Keyboard Flasher”
- Compile QMK Sonix fimware with this command ->
qmk compile -kb keychron/k3/rgb/optical_iso -km iso
- Binary is at your home “qmk_firmware” folder and named with “.bin” extension
Disassemble the keyboard (you dont have to disassemble everything, just remove the keycaps next to the screws)
Switch to cable mode
Uplug keyboard
While shorting boot Pins; Plug the keyboard to PC
Keyboard should be unresponsive and “Sonix Keyboard Flasher” app should see the flashable chip
Set settings: device = SN32F24x, qmk offset = 0x00
Then Flash QMK with the binary that you made in the compiling stage.
You dont need to disassemble keyboard to get to bootloader mode anymore, just press Fn+Esc
