I bought an advantage 2 for 500€ and can't program it, because there is no release for linux.

It's a mystery to me, that this isn't categorised into a higher priority, since Windows has no FAT16 support, which means you are not able to configure, for example, a Freestyle Edge RGB, because Windows simply can't read the volume, when everything else (including Linux) can.

Kinesis firmware is trash anyway. I hacked my kinesis via https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2020-07-09-kint-kinesis-keyboard-controller/ and now can use proper firmware, namely qmk.

Any assistance in getting the edge smartapp to compile in Linux. I compiled all the components, but the project fails.

any ways how run soft on linux? @KinesisCorporation

zuavra commented 1 year ago

The Kinesis SmartApp runs fine in a Windows 10 virtual machine under VirtualBox. You have to either add the keyboard in the VM's USB configuration, or enable it on the fly while the VM is running from the Devices > USB menu. Make sure the VM has USB emulation activated; USB v1 is sufficient to make it work, no need for 2.x or 3.x explicitly. Make sure you also mount the keyboard's internal flash drive after you start the VM (° + F8).

Doesn't work by default in WINE though.

On-board programming, direct editing of the layout files. You are far from "unable."

Who are your customers?.. @KinesisCorporation

Looking to bump this again @KinesisCorporation, a native Linux SmartSetApp would be appreciated. I bought this keyboard because it was marketed as having native Linux support out of the box, the ecosystem should apply to that statement as well.

I personally would love them to just release an optional QMK firmware or optional reading of the configs though a more standard layout so we could just generate our own client to create the text files.

Yea anything would help, I was just looking for a way to visually look at my layout to modify it with a more layered approach.

I am gonna try hacking on the smartsetapp I guess, see if I can get it working without to much effort in my spare time on linux. If it turns into a project, maybe there is a better way to do it utilizing the v-drive text editing method. I'm pretty unfamiliar with all this though...

It seems like you can edit config files without the software:

Right, this is known. However, again it would be nice to have the visual aid of the smartset software when performing remaps. I myself have been using the onboard remapping features but sometimes find it hard to visualize my current layered customizations. I do like the keyboard on a personal level, but I purchased it on the premise of having the advertised linux support which turns out to only be partially true in regard to the smartset ecosystem on the wired version.

Yeah I understand. I am still waiting on my keyboard in the mail so in the meantime I'm going to play around with Lazarus and see if I can figure anything out.
