Flashing

ps2avr(GB) boards use an atmega32a microcontroller and a different bootloader. It is not flashable using the regular QMK methods. 

**Reset Key:**  Hold down the key located at `K00`, commonly programmed as left control while plugging in the keyboard. 

Windows: 
1. Download [HIDBootFlash](http://vusb.wikidot.com/project:hidbootflash).
2. Place your keyboard into reset. 
3. Press the `Find Device` button and ensure that your keyboard is found.
4. Press the `Open .hex File` button and locate the `.hex` file you created.
5. Press the `Flash Device` button and wait for the process to complete. 

macOS:
1. Install homebrew by typing the following:   
    ```
    /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

2. Install `crosspack-avr`.  
    ```
    brew cask install crosspack-avr
    ```

    ```
    brew install python3
    pip3 install pyusb
    brew install --HEAD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robertgzr/homebrew-tap/master/bootloadhid.rb
    ```
4. Place your keyboard into reset.
