kii-dfu - Kiibohd dfu-util GUI Frontend

Simple GUI frontend to dfu-util

Requires that the dfu-util binary/symlink be in the same directory as ./kii-dfu

dfu-util can be found here: dfu-util Please use 0.8 or higher if possible.

Building

Linux

Requires: qt5, cmake 2.8.9+

mkdir build
cd build
make

Mac

Requires: qt5, cmake 2.8.9+ (Works with Macports)

mkdir build
cd build
make

Windows

Requires: [Qt5](http://qt-project.org/qt5 with mingw32), cmake 3.0+

The easiest way is to use QtCreator. Open up the CMakeLists.txt file with QtCreator (make sure to select a build directory different from the source directory) Run build

Installation

Linux/Mac just copy/symlink dfu-util to the same directory

Windows

Driver Installation, only do once

Download and run Zadig Plug in the controller/keyboard and set into 're-flash mode'. (Just press the button on the back of keyboard, an led should turn on)

'Kiibohd DFU Bootloader' should show up. In Driver, press the Up/Down arrows until you find 'libusbK' Click 'Install Driver'

Driver installation finished

Then copy dfu-util.exe to the same directory as kii-dfu.exe

Usage

Run ./kii-dfu or kii-dfu.exe

Browse to the .dfu.bin file to flash. Click Flash

List Devices can be used to see if dfu-util can see your device. You may need to run the utility as root.

Linux

For Linux it is also possible to a udev rules file to /etc/udev/rules.d 98-kiibohd.rules

Then run:

udevadm control --reload-rules

And reconnect the USB device. You should no longer require root to flash the keyboard
