+# Flashing Guide for QMK Toolbox (Linux)
+
+## Overview
+
+QMK Toolbox supports flashing firmware to keyboards in bootloader mode. The Linux version uses command-line tools to communicate with bootloader devices.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### 1. Install Required Tools
+
+The flashing commands depend on external tools. Install based on your bootloader type:
+
+**Debian/Ubuntu:**
+```bash
+sudo apt install dfu-util dfu-programmer avrdude teensy-loader-cli
+```
+
+**Arch Linux:**
+```bash
+sudo pacman -S dfu-util dfu-programmer avrdude teensy-loader-cli
+```
+
+**Fedora:**
+```bash
+sudo dnf install dfu-util dfu-programmer avrdude teensy-loader-cli
+```
+
+### 2. Install udev Rules
+
+```bash
+cd /home/amin/qmk/qmk_toolbox/linux
+sudo cp packaging/99-qmk.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
+sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
+sudo udevadm trigger
+```
+
+### 3. Set Up Python Environment
+
+```bash
+cd /home/amin/qmk/qmk_toolbox/linux
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+## Flashing Methods
+
+### Method 1: Manual Flash
+
+1. **Select firmware file**
+   - Click "Open" button or drag firmware file to window
+   - Supported formats: `.hex`, `.bin`
+
+2. **Select MCU** (AVR only)
+   - Choose your keyboard's MCU from the dropdown
+   - Default: `atmega32u4` (most common)
+   - Only used for Atmel/LUFA/QMK DFU bootloaders
+
+3. **Put keyboard in bootloader mode**
+   - Press keyboard's reset button, or
+   - Use QMK's bootloader keycode (usually holding Esc while plugging in)
+   - Watch log for "device connected" message
+
+4. **Click "Flash" button**
+   - Wait for "Flash complete" message
+   - Do NOT unplug keyboard during flashing
+
+### Method 2: Auto-Flash
+
+Auto-flash automatically flashes firmware when a bootloader device is detected.
+
+1. **Select firmware file** (same as manual)
+
+2. **Enable Auto-Flash**
+   - Check "Auto-Flash" checkbox, or
+   - Menu: Tools → Auto-Flash
+
+3. **Put keyboard in bootloader mode**
+   - Flashing starts automatically
+   - UI buttons are disabled during auto-flash mode
+
+4. **Disable Auto-Flash when done**
+   - Uncheck "Auto-Flash" checkbox
+
+## Supported Bootloaders
+
+### DFU Bootloaders (dfu-util)

+**Example devices:**
+- Teensy-based keyboards
+- Ergodox EZ
+
+### Other Bootloaders
+
+**BootloadHID**: Requires `bootloadHID` (not commonly packaged)
+**LUFA HID**: Requires `hid_bootloader_cli`
+**LUFA Mass Storage**: Device appears as USB drive
+**Atmel SAM-BA**: Requires `mdloader`
+
+## Additional Features
+
+### Reset Device (Exit DFU)
+
+Exits bootloader mode and returns keyboard to normal operation.
+
+1. Connect keyboard in bootloader mode
+2. Click "Exit DFU" button
+3. Keyboard reboots to normal mode
+
+**Note**: Not all bootloaders support reset command.
+
+### Clear EEPROM
+
+Clears keyboard's EEPROM memory (settings, layers, etc.).
+
+1. Connect keyboard in bootloader mode
+2. Click "Clear EEPROM" button
+3. Wait for "EEPROM clear complete" message
+
+**Requirements:**
+- EEPROM reset file exists: `/common/reset.eep`
+- Bootloader supports EEPROM flashing (AVR bootloaders only)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "No bootloader devices connected"
+
+**Problem**: Toolbox doesn't detect keyboard in bootloader mode.
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Verify udev rules are installed (see Prerequisites)
+2. Check if device appears: `lsusb` (look for DFU or bootloader device)
+3. Try unplugging and replugging keyboard
+4. Verify keyboard is in bootloader mode (look for different USB VID/PID)
+
+### "Command not found: dfu-util" (or other tool)
+
+**Problem**: Required flashing tool not installed.
+
+**Solution**: Install the tool for your bootloader type (see Prerequisites).
+
+### "Flash failed with exit code 1"
+
+**Problem**: Flash operation failed.
+
+**Common causes:**
+1. **Wrong MCU selected** (AVR only) - Select correct MCU
+2. **Wrong firmware file** - Verify firmware is for your keyboard
+3. **Wrong file format** - Some bootloaders need `.hex`, others need `.bin`
+4. **Permission issues** - Ensure udev rules are installed
+5. **Corrupted firmware** - Recompile or redownload firmware
+
+**Debug steps:**
+1. Check log output for specific error message
+2. Try flashing from command line manually
+3. Verify firmware file is not corrupted
+
+### "EEPROM clear failed"
+
+**Problem**: EEPROM clearing failed.
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Verify `/common/reset.eep` file exists
+2. Check if bootloader supports EEPROM (AVR only)
+3. Some bootloaders don't support EEPROM operations
+
+### Flash hangs or freezes
+
+**Problem**: Flash operation doesn't complete.
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. **DO NOT** unplug keyboard
+2. Wait 30-60 seconds
+3. If still frozen, close QMK Toolbox
+4. Unplug keyboard, replug in bootloader mode
+5. Try again
+
+### Permission denied errors
+
+**Problem**: Can't access USB device.
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Install udev rules (see Prerequisites)
+2. Logout and login (or reboot)
+3. Verify user is in correct groups: `groups`
+4. Check device permissions: `ls -la /dev/ttyACM*` or similar
+
+## Testing Flashing
+
+### Without Hardware
+
+You can test the UI without a real bootloader device:
+
+```bash
+source venv/bin/activate
+qmk-toolbox
+```
+
+- Select a firmware file
+- UI will enable/disable buttons correctly
+- No actual flashing will occur without bootloader device
+
+### With Hardware
+
+**Safe test procedure:**
+
+1. **Backup current firmware** (if possible)
+2. **Use test firmware** - Flash known-good QMK default firmware
+3. **Start QMK Toolbox**
+4. **Select firmware file**
+5. **Put keyboard in bootloader mode**
+6. **Watch log output** for errors
+7. **Verify "Flash complete" message**
+8. **Test keyboard** - Verify keys work after flashing
+
+**Emergency recovery:**
+
+If flash fails and keyboard doesn't work:
+1. Don't panic - bootloader is usually intact
+2. Put keyboard back in bootloader mode
+3. Flash known-good firmware
+4. If keyboard is bricked, may need ISP flashing (advanced)
+
+## File Locations
+
+- **Common files**: `/home/amin/qmk/qmk_toolbox/common/`
+  - `reset.eep` - EEPROM clear file
+  - `reset_left.eep` - Left-hand EEPROM for split keyboards
+  - `reset_right.eep` - Right-hand EEPROM for split keyboards
+  - `avrdude.conf` - avrdude configuration
+
+## Command-Line Equivalents
+
+QMK Toolbox runs these commands internally:
+
+**DFU (ARM/RISC-V):**
+```bash
+dfu-util -D firmware.bin
+```
+
+**Atmel DFU:**
+```bash
+dfu-programmer atmega32u4 erase
+dfu-programmer atmega32u4 flash firmware.hex
+dfu-programmer atmega32u4 reset
+```
+
+**Caterina:**
+```bash
+avrdude -p atmega32u4 -c avr109 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -U flash:w:firmware.hex:i
+```
+
+**HalfKay:**
+```bash
+teensy-loader-cli -mmcu=atmega32u4 -w firmware.hex
+```

+# HID Console Setup Guide
+
+## Problem
+The HID Console window opens but doesn't detect any devices because:
+1. Linux requires special permissions to access HID devices (`/dev/hidraw*`)
+2. On Linux, `hidapi` doesn't reliably report usage_page/usage fields
+
+## Solution
+We've implemented two fixes:
+
+### Fix 1: Updated udev Rules
+Added a rule to grant user access to all hidraw devices in `packaging/99-qmk.rules`:
+```
+KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", MODE="0666", TAG+="uaccess"
+```
+
+### Fix 2: Enhanced HID Listener
+Updated `src/qmk_toolbox/hid/hid_listener.py` to:
+- Try usage_page/usage filtering first (works on some Linux systems)
+- Fall back to probing devices by attempting to open them
+- Skip interface 0 (typically keyboard/mouse)
+- Test accessibility of higher interfaces (where console devices live)
+
+## Installation Steps
+
+### 1. Install udev Rules (Requires sudo)
+```bash
+cd /home/amin/qmk/qmk_toolbox/linux
+sudo cp packaging/99-qmk.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
+sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
+sudo udevadm trigger
+```
+
+### 2. Apply Permissions
+The udev rules will apply to new devices immediately, but for existing devices you need to:
+- **Option A**: Unplug and replug your keyboard
+- **Option B**: Log out and log back in
+- **Option C**: Reboot your system
+
+### 3. Verify Installation
+```bash
+cd /home/amin/qmk/qmk_toolbox/linux
+./test_hid.sh
+```
+
+Expected output when working:
+```
+✓ udev rules are installed
+✓ HID device access is working!
+```
+
+### 4. Run QMK Toolbox
+```bash
+source venv/bin/activate
+qmk-toolbox
+```
+
+Then open: **Tools → HID Console**
+
+## Important Notes
+
+### Does Your Keyboard Support HID Console?
+
+The HID Console feature requires:
+1. **QMK firmware** (not proprietary firmware)
+2. **CONSOLE_ENABLE = yes** in the keyboard's `rules.mk`
+3. Firmware compiled with console support
+
+**Your NuPhy Air75 V2** likely runs proprietary firmware by default and won't show up in the HID Console unless you've flashed it with custom QMK firmware.
+
+### Testing with a QMK Keyboard
+
+To test HID Console functionality:
+
+1. **Use a keyboard running QMK** (or flash your keyboard with QMK)
+
+2. **Enable console in your keymap's rules.mk:**
+   ```make
+   CONSOLE_ENABLE = yes
+   ```
+
+3. **Add debug output in your keymap.c:**
+   ```c
+   #include "print.h"
+   
+   bool process_record_user(uint16_t keycode, keyrecord_t *record) {
+       if (record->event.pressed) {
+           uprintf("Key pressed: 0x%04X\n", keycode);
+       }
+       return true;
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. **Flash the firmware** and connect the keyboard
+
+5. **Open QMK Toolbox → Tools → HID Console**
+
+6. **Press keys** - you should see debug output appear
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No devices appear in HID Console
+- Check if udev rules are installed: `ls -la /etc/udev/rules.d/99-qmk.rules`
+- Check hidraw permissions: `ls -la /dev/hidraw*` (should show `rw-rw----` or `rw-rw-rw-`)
+- Verify your keyboard has QMK with CONSOLE_ENABLE
+- Try unplugging and replugging the keyboard
+
+### "open failed" errors when testing
+- udev rules not applied yet - try logout/login or reboot
+- User not in correct group - udev rules should handle this with TAG+="uaccess"
+
+### Devices show but no console output
+- Keyboard doesn't have CONSOLE_ENABLE
+- Firmware not compiled with console support
+- Need to add `xprintf()` or `uprintf()` calls in keymap code
+
+## Alternative: Run as Root (NOT RECOMMENDED)
+For testing only, you can run QMK Toolbox as root:
+```bash
+sudo ./venv/bin/qmk-toolbox
+```
+
+This bypasses permission issues but is not a secure long-term solution.

+
+## Key Implementation Details
+
+### Flashing Process
+
+1. **User Action** → `flash_firmware()` slot triggered
+2. **Async Execution** → `asyncio.create_task(_flash_firmware_async())`
+3. **Find Bootloaders** → Query USB listener for bootloader devices
+4. **Disable UI** → Prevent user interaction during flash
+5. **Execute Flash** → `bootloader.flash(mcu, file_path)` calls CLI tool
+6. **Stream Output** → Real-time command output to log widget
+7. **Re-enable UI** → Restore button states
+
+### Auto-Flash Workflow
+
+1. **Enable Auto-Flash** → Disables UI buttons
+2. **Wait for Bootloader** → USB listener monitors for devices
+3. **Auto-Trigger** → `on_bootloader_device_connected()` calls `flash_firmware()`
+4. **Flash Automatically** → Same process as manual flash
+5. **UI Stays Disabled** → Until auto-flash is turned off
+
+### HID Console (Linux-specific)
+
+**Problem**: Linux hidapi doesn't report `usage_page`/`usage` fields.
+
+**Solution**: Implemented device probing fallback:
+1. Try usage_page/usage filtering (works on some systems)
+2. If no devices found, probe all HID interfaces > 0
+3. Attempt to open each device to verify accessibility
+4. Add accessible devices to console device list
+
+## Testing
+
+### Without Hardware
+```bash
+cd linux
+source venv/bin/activate
+python test_flashing.py        # Verify implementation
+qmk-toolbox                     # Launch GUI
+```
+
+### With Hardware
+1. Install udev rules: `./install_hid_support.sh`
+2. Install flashing tools: `sudo apt install dfu-util dfu-programmer avrdude`
+3. Launch QMK Toolbox
+4. Select firmware file
+5. Put keyboard in bootloader mode
+6. Click "Flash"
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+1. **Stub Bootloaders** - Some bootloader types have placeholder implementations
+2. **CLI Tool Dependencies** - Requires system-installed command-line tools
+3. **HID Usage Detection** - May not work on all Linux distributions
+4. **No Built-in Flashers** - Unlike Windows, doesn't bundle flashing tools
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Priority 1 (High Value)
+- [ ] Complete stub bootloader implementations
+- [ ] Add unit tests (pytest + pytest-qt)
+- [ ] CI/CD integration (GitHub Actions)
+- [ ] Package publishing (PyPI, AUR, PPA)
+
+### Priority 2 (Nice to Have)
+- [ ] Drag-and-drop file support
+- [ ] Firmware file validation
+- [ ] Flash history tracking
+- [ ] QMK compile integration
+- [ ] Split keyboard handedness helper
+
+### Priority 3 (Advanced)
+- [ ] ISP flashing support
+- [ ] Firmware backup/restore
+- [ ] Bootloader installation
+- [ ] Custom bootloader profiles
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- **Async I/O** - Non-blocking flash operations using asyncio
+- **Background Monitoring** - USB/HID listeners run in separate threads
+- **Lazy Loading** - Windows created on-demand (Key Tester, HID Console)
+- **Minimal Dependencies** - Only essential packages (PySide6, pyudev, hidapi)
+

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### USB Devices Not Detected
+
+1. Make sure udev rules are installed:
+   ```bash
+   ls -l /etc/udev/rules.d/99-qmk.rules
+   ```
+
+2. Reload udev:
+   ```bash
+   sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
+   sudo udevadm trigger
+   ```
+
+3. Check if your user is in the plugdev group:
+   ```bash
+   groups $USER
+   ```
+
+4. Try running with sudo (not recommended for regular use):
+   ```bash
+   sudo qmk-toolbox
+   ```
+
+### HID Console Not Working
+
+Make sure hidapi is installed and accessible:
+```bash
+python3 -c "import hid; print(hid.enumerate())"
+```
+
+### Flashing Tools Not Found
+
+Install the required tools for your bootloader:
+```bash
+# For Atmel DFU
+sudo apt install dfu-programmer
+
+# For ARM DFU
+sudo apt install dfu-util
+
+# For Caterina
+sudo apt install avrdude
+
+# For Teensy
+sudo apt install teensy-loader-cli
+```
+
+### Qt/PySide6 Issues
+
+If PySide6 installation fails, try:
+```bash
+pip install --upgrade pip
+pip install PySide6 --prefer-binary
+```
+
+## Uninstall
+
+### From pip
+
+```bash
+pip uninstall qmk-toolbox
+```
+
+### Debian package
+
+```bash
+sudo apt remove qmk-toolbox
+```
+
+### Clean up udev rules
+
+```bash
+sudo rm /etc/udev/rules.d/99-qmk.rules
+sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
+```

+# QMK Toolbox - Linux
+
+QMK Toolbox for Linux - A keyboard firmware flashing utility with Qt GUI.
+
+## System Requirements
+
+* Linux (kernel 4.4+)
+* Python 3.8 or higher
+* Qt 6.6 or higher (via PySide6)
+
+## Dependencies
+
+### Runtime Dependencies
+
+The following command-line tools need to be installed on your system:
+
+* `dfu-util` - For ARM/RISC-V DFU bootloaders
+* `dfu-programmer` - For Atmel/LUFA/QMK DFU bootloaders
+* `avrdude` - For Caterina (Pro Micro) bootloaders
+* `teensy-loader-cli` - For HalfKay (Teensy) bootloaders
+
+### Install Dependencies
+
+**Debian/Ubuntu:**
+```bash
+sudo apt install dfu-util dfu-programmer avrdude teensy-loader-cli
+```
+
+**Arch Linux:**
+```bash
+sudo pacman -S dfu-util dfu-programmer avrdude teensy-loader-cli
+```
+
+**Fedora:**
+```bash
+sudo dnf install dfu-util dfu-programmer avrdude teensy-loader-cli
+```
+
+### Python Dependencies
+
+Install from PyPI:
+```bash
+pip install qmk-toolbox
+```
+
+Or install from source:
+```bash
+cd linux
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+## udev Rules
+
+To access USB devices without root permissions, install the udev rules:
+
+**Quick Install:**
+```bash
+./install_hid_support.sh
+```
+
+**Manual Install:**
+```bash
+sudo cp packaging/99-qmk.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
+sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
+sudo udevadm trigger
+```
+
+You may need to unplug/replug devices or log out and back in for the changes to take effect.
+
+**Note:** The udev rules provide access to both bootloader devices (for flashing) and HID devices (for the HID Console feature).
+
+## Running
+
+After installation, run:
+
+```bash
+qmk-toolbox
+```
+
+Or from source:
+```bash
+cd linux/src
+python -m qmk_toolbox.main
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Flashing Firmware
+
+See [FLASHING_GUIDE.md](FLASHING_GUIDE.md) for detailed instructions on:
+- Flashing firmware files (.hex/.bin)
+- Auto-flash mode
+- Resetting devices (Exit DFU)
+- Clearing EEPROM
+- Troubleshooting flashing issues
+
+**Quick Start:**
+1. Install udev rules (see above)
+2. Install flashing tools for your bootloader type
+3. Open QMK Toolbox
+4. Click "Open" and select firmware file
+5. Put keyboard in bootloader mode
+6. Click "Flash"
+
+## Building Packages
+
+### AppImage
+
+```bash
+cd packaging/appimage
+./build.sh
+```
+
+### Debian Package
+
+```bash
+cd packaging/deb
+./build.sh
+```
+
+### Arch Linux Package
+
+```bash
+cd packaging/arch
+makepkg -si
+```
+
+### RPM Package
+
+```bash
+cd packaging/rpm
+rpmbuild -ba qmk-toolbox.spec
+```
+
+## Supported Bootloaders
+
+- ARM DFU (APM32, Kiibohd, STM32, STM32duino) via dfu-util
+- RISC-V DFU (GD32V) via dfu-util
+- Atmel/LUFA/QMK DFU via dfu-programmer
+- Atmel SAM-BA (Massdrop) via mdloader
+- BootloadHID (Atmel, PS2AVRGB) via bootloadHID
+- Caterina (Arduino, Pro Micro) via avrdude
+- HalfKay (Teensy, Ergodox EZ) via teensy-loader-cli
+- LUFA/QMK HID via hid_bootloader_cli
+- WB32 DFU via wb32-dfu-updater_cli
+- LUFA Mass Storage
+
+## HID Console
+
+The HID Console listens for messages on USB HID usage page `0xFF31` and usage `0x0074`, compatible with PJRC's `hid_listen`.
+
+If your keyboard has `CONSOLE_ENABLE = yes` in `rules.mk`, you can print debug messages with `xprintf()` or `uprintf()`.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- QMK firmware (not proprietary firmware)
+- `CONSOLE_ENABLE = yes` in keyboard's `rules.mk`
+- udev rules installed (see above)
+
+**Troubleshooting:**
+If the HID Console doesn't detect devices, see [HID_CONSOLE_SETUP.md](HID_CONSOLE_SETUP.md) for detailed setup and troubleshooting instructions.

+# QMK Toolbox - Linux
+
+QMK Toolbox for Linux - A keyboard firmware flashing utility with Qt GUI.
+
+## System Requirements
+
+* Linux (kernel 4.4+)
+* Python 3.8 or higher
+* Qt 6.6 or higher (via PySide6)
+
+## Dependencies
+
+### Runtime Dependencies
+
+The following command-line tools need to be installed on your system:
+
+* `dfu-util` - For ARM/RISC-V DFU bootloaders
+* `dfu-programmer` - For Atmel/LUFA/QMK DFU bootloaders
+* `avrdude` - For Caterina (Pro Micro) bootloaders
+* `teensy-loader-cli` - For HalfKay (Teensy) bootloaders
+
+### Install Dependencies
+
+**Debian/Ubuntu:**
+```bash
+sudo apt install dfu-util dfu-programmer avrdude teensy-loader-cli
+```
+
+**Arch Linux:**
+```bash
+sudo pacman -S dfu-util dfu-programmer avrdude teensy-loader-cli
+```
+
+**Fedora:**
+```bash
+sudo dnf install dfu-util dfu-programmer avrdude teensy-loader-cli
+```
+
+### Python Dependencies
+
+Install from PyPI:
+```bash
+pip install qmk-toolbox
+```
+
+Or install from source:
+```bash
+cd linux
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+## udev Rules
+
+To access USB devices without root permissions, install the udev rules:
+
+```bash
+sudo cp packaging/99-qmk.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
+sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
+sudo udevadm trigger
+```
+
+You may need to log out and back in for the changes to take effect.
+
+## Running
+
+After installation, run:
+
+```bash
+qmk-toolbox
+```
+
+Or from source:
+```bash
+cd linux/src
+python -m qmk_toolbox.main
+```
+
+## Building Packages
+
+### AppImage
+
+```bash
+cd packaging/appimage
+./build.sh
+```
+
+### Debian Package
+
+```bash
+cd packaging/deb
+./build.sh
+```
+
+### Arch Linux Package
+
+```bash
+cd packaging/arch
+makepkg -si
+```
+
+### RPM Package
+
+```bash
+cd packaging/rpm
+rpmbuild -ba qmk-toolbox.spec
+```
+
+## Supported Bootloaders
+
+- ARM DFU (APM32, Kiibohd, STM32, STM32duino) via dfu-util
+- RISC-V DFU (GD32V) via dfu-util
+- Atmel/LUFA/QMK DFU via dfu-programmer
+- Atmel SAM-BA (Massdrop) via mdloader
+- BootloadHID (Atmel, PS2AVRGB) via bootloadHID
+- Caterina (Arduino, Pro Micro) via avrdude
+- HalfKay (Teensy, Ergodox EZ) via teensy-loader-cli
+- LUFA/QMK HID via hid_bootloader_cli
+- WB32 DFU via wb32-dfu-updater_cli
+- LUFA Mass Storage
+
+## HID Console
+
+The HID Console listens for messages on USB HID usage page `0xFF31` and usage `0x0074`, compatible with PJRC's `hid_listen`.
+
+If your keyboard has `CONSOLE_ENABLE = yes` in `rules.mk`, you can print debug messages with `xprintf()`.
