Corne v4.1

My keyboard settings. Mostly inspired by Miryoku and this Russian keyboard layout.

Flashing

https://www.ergokeeb.com/blogs/news/guide-to-flash-vial-firmware-on-the-corne-v4-1-wired-keyboard

  • git clone https://github.com/vial-kb/vial-qmk
  • Move your files to the ~/vial-qmk/keyboards/crkbd/keymaps/vial/ directory. Or you can create your own directory in keymaps instead of vial and put your files there.
  • qmk compile -kb crkbd/rev4_1/standard -km vial

Step 1: Enter Bootloader Mode

For the Corne V4.1, entering bootloader mode is straightforward due to its RP2040-based design (or similar), which mounts as a USB drive when in bootloader mode.

Method 1: You can either press the reset button or hold down the "Q" or "P" keys while plugging in the keyboard to enter the bootloader and flash the new firmware.

Method 2: Connect to the PC while holding down the BOOT button, or while connected to the PC, hold down the BOOT button and press the RESET button. After that, an RPI-PR2 device will be mounted.

Step 2: Flash the Firmware

  1. Flash the Left Half:
    • Open the RPI-RP2 drive.
    • Drag (or copy and paste) the firmware file into the drive.
    • Wait a few seconds—the drive will disappear once flashing is complete.
  2. Flash the Right Half:
    • Disconnect the left half.
    • Repeat Step 2 for the right half, then drag the firmware file into the RPI-RP2 drive.
    • Wait for the drive to vanish, confirming the flash.

Step 3: Test the Keyboard

  1. Connect the Halves:
    • Use a TRS cable to connect the left and right halves.
    • Plug the left half into your computer via USB (for wired setups, the left half is typically the “master”).
  2. Verify Functionality:
    • Open the Vial application (or a text editor like Notepad).
    • Press keys on both halves to ensure they register correctly.
    • If the keyboard isn’t detected or keys don’t work, double-check the firmware files match your hardware and that the TRS connection is secure.
  3. Use Vial:
    • In the Vial app, your Corne V4.1 should appear if the firmware was flashed correctly. You can now customize keymaps, layers, and settings without reflashing.
