Trouble flashing the firmware

[rodgzilla]

Hi!

I am having troubles flashing the firmware onto the controller. I am quite new to QMK so there are probably things that I don't understand.

I've run the following command and this is the result I am getting.

 make sthlmkb/cyoa_ortho:default

QMK Firmware 0.25.22
make: *** No rule to make target 'sthlmkb/cyoa_ortho:default'. Stop.
|
| QMK's make format is:
|     make keyboard_folder:keymap_folder[:target]
|
| Where `keyboard_folder` is the path to the keyboard relative to
| `qmk_firmware/keyboards/`, and `keymap_folder` is the name of the
| keymap folder under that board's `keymaps/` directory.
|
| Examples:
|     keyboards/dz60, keyboards/dz60/keymaps/default
|       -> make dz60:default
|       -> qmk compile -kb dz60 -km default
|     keyboards/planck/rev6, keyboards/planck/keymaps/default
|       -> make planck/rev6:default:flash
|       -> qmk flash -kb planck/rev6 -km default
|

I think that my QMK environment is setup properly because I have managed to flash other keyboards in the past.

I have also tried copying the content of folder cyoa_ortho/firmware/cyoa_ortho to the keyboards/sthlmkb in my QMK folder but I keep getting the same message.

Could you please give me some pointers?

Hey!

A couple things to try:

• Are you sure that you're in the qmk_firmware directory when you run the command?
• Have you copied over the default keymap too? I assume that you copied that over automatically when you got the whole folder, but just want to check!
• Is your QMK installed correctly? You can run qmk doctor to check this
• Have you tried running qmk compile -kb sthlmkb/cyoa_ortho -km default instead? That also worked for me

Maybe as another option is updating QMK so that you have the latest version (though it looks like you do from above) or reinstalling it if that doesn't work.

Let me know how you get on and hopefully we can figure this out!
