# Frequently Asked Build Questions
|
|
|
|
This page covers questions about building QMK. If you haven't yet done so, you should read the [Build Environment Setup](getting_started_build_tools.md) and [Make Instructions](getting_started_make_guide.md) guides.
|
|
|
|
## Can't Program on Linux
|
|
You will need proper permissions to operate a device. For Linux users, see the instructions regarding `udev` rules, below. If you have issues with `udev`, a work-around is to use the `sudo` command. If you are not familiar with this command, check its manual with `man sudo` or [see this webpage](https://linux.die.net/man/8/sudo).
|
|
|
|
An example of using `sudo`, when your controller is ATMega32u4:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo dfu-programmer atmega32u4 erase --force
|
|
$ sudo dfu-programmer atmega32u4 flash your.hex
|
|
$ sudo dfu-programmer atmega32u4 reset
|
|
|
|
or just:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo make <keyboard>:<keymap>:dfu
|
|
|
|
Note that running `make` with `sudo` is generally *not* a good idea, and you should use one of the former methods, if possible.
|
|
|
|
## Linux `udev` Rules
|
|
On Linux, you'll need proper privileges to access the MCU. You can either use
|
|
`sudo` when flashing firmware, or place these files in `/etc/udev/rules.d/`.
|
|
|
|
**/etc/udev/rules.d/50-atmel-dfu.rules:**
|
|
```
|
|
# Atmel ATMega32U4
|
|
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2ff4", MODE:="0666"
|
|
# Atmel USBKEY AT90USB1287
|
|
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2ffb", MODE:="0666"
|
|
# Atmel ATMega32U2
|
|
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2ff0", MODE:="0666"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**/etc/udev/rules.d/52-tmk-keyboard.rules:**
|
|
```
|
|
# tmk keyboard products https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard
|
|
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="feed", MODE:="0666"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## WINAVR is Obsolete
|
|
It is no longer recommended and may cause some problem.
|
|
See [TMK Issue #99](https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/99).
|
|
|
|
## USB VID and PID
|
|
You can use any ID you want with editing `config.h`. Using any presumably unused ID will be no problem in fact except for very low chance of collision with other product.
|
|
|
|
Most boards in QMK use `0xFEED` as the vendor ID. You should look through other keyboards to make sure you pick a unique Product ID.
|
|
|
|
Also see this.
|
|
https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/150
|
|
|
|
You can buy a really unique VID:PID here. I don't think you need this for personal use.

## Cortex: `cstddef: No such file or directory`
|
|
GCC 4.8 of Ubuntu 14.04 had this problem and had to update to 4.9 with this PPA.

## `clock_prescale_set` and `clock_div_1` Not Available
|
|
Your toolchain is too old to support the MCU. For example WinAVR 20100110 doesn't support ATMega32u2.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|

## BOOTLOADER_SIZE for AVR
|
|
Note that Teensy2.0++ bootloader size is 2048byte. Some Makefiles may have wrong comment.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Boot Section Size in *bytes*
|
|
# Teensy halfKay 512
|
|
# Teensy++ halfKay 2048
|
|
# Atmel DFU loader 4096 (TMK Alt Controller)
|
|
# LUFA bootloader 4096
|
|
# USBaspLoader 2048
|
|
OPT_DEFS += -DBOOTLOADER_SIZE=2048
|
|
```
