Need some help #11

Closed Nono9k closed 2 weeks ago

Nono9k commented 2 months ago

Hey! So I recently got this E-yooso Z11 for $3 (yes really), smk seems quite interesting so I thought why not test it, i do not have reflashing tools so if I mess up it's kinda game over for the kb, but i can just buy another $3 one. I'm willing to install it i just need some help figuring out how lol, Thanks!

I'll try to add documentation with more details on how to build the firmware in the future, but for now, it's provided as is. As a starting place, you can check flake.nix for the different tools that are required for smk development, or even better, consider using nix with the same flake file.

Btw, I actually decided to purchase an e-yooso z11 keyboard because I didn't have any other keyboards to test against other than my nuphy-air60. Stay tuned for more updates.

I'm capturing some of my progress with this keyboard here: https://github.com/carlossless/smk/issues/12

I added some documentation. It's not a lot, but with the build setup more streamlined it should be easier to get started with building, modifying, and porting.
