Flashing firmware from Mac

[goDawgs18]

Hi,

I have:

1. compiled the firmware
2. Got the keyboard into bootloader mode
3. Mounted the Fat 16 drive.

However now I'm stuck because I cannot copy over the firmware into the directory because it is in read-only mode (or something).

When I look at the info for the directory it is marked as "You can only read". So as I mentioned I am unable to cannot copy the firmware over.

During my investigation I have even found a reddit post documenting my same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/kinesisadvantage/comments/15osdmq/i_am_unable_to_flash_firmware_on_the_360_pro_due/

• Using Advantage 360
• Apple silicon
• OSX: 14.3.1 (23D60)

Seems like I'm not alone: #459 (comment)

Probably going to have to return the device as well 😞

Hi there, This is not a keyboard limitation as far as we know. Is there another PC you can try mounting the drive on?

[goDawgs18]

There is another Mac that I can try to use? But I'd expect the same behavior.

I guess may as well try

How did it go with the other computer?

I don’t have usual access to it. It’ll be about a week or so.

Great. If it doesn't work on the other computer we are happy to do an exchange (link below). Nut it seems unlikely (although certainly not impossible) that this is a keyboard hardware problem.

Just following up on this @goDawgs18 did flashing it from the other computer rectify the issue?
