FYI for reviewers, refer to qmk/qmk_firmware#6068. Also, the referenced PR is waiting on this one to be merged.

robhaswell · 2020-01-16T10:53:20Z

Hi, what is blocking this PR from being reviewed and merged?

The Masssdrop CTRL/ALT keyboard discussions have a great deal of comments and complaints about eeprom support: https://drop.com/buy/drop-ctrl-mechanical-keyboard/talk?search=eeprom

A successful review of this PR would be able to address all of these concerns, as the downstream support is ready to go.

Thanks.

Shooooooooo · 2020-01-16T16:14:28Z

@just-another-jxliu Bumping this.
Maybe this will repository will become active once again before they release Drop SHIFT?
Really hope this can be made into the next release.

ash0x0 · 2020-01-31T06:21:58Z

@pschmuckal you seem to be taking over things at least on the firmware side. You're probably too swamped with all you have to do there but if you have some time and can get control over this repo and have this merged in it'd be a real improvement for all MD boards. It's not a big review and we can all help with testing/whatever you'd need to get it through.

robhaswell · 2020-04-20T15:04:10Z

Hi, any movement on this?

nicoelayda · 2020-06-21T05:08:52Z

Tested this on my ALT and it works like a charm. I've had to make some changes to keymap.c to make the backlight mode persist across reboots, but other than that I've found no other issues.

I've uploaded precompiled binaries for macOS, Windows and Linux on my fork until this is merged to the official repo, in case anyone needs them.

EDIT: Precompiled binaries here: https://github.com/nicoelayda/mdloader/releases/latest

Ignit3d · 2020-06-28T00:59:58Z

Tested this earlier today and works great. Thank you so very much for moving this forward. Two quotations of I may;

Would it be possibly to please provide details of the changes made to Keymap.c as I have a different configuration for my outer right keys to the default keymap?
Would changes to the polling rate also persist across reboots?
Many thanks again

mdloader_common.c

+    printf("\n");
+    if ((user_row[1] & 0x7f) != 0x12) {
+        printf("SmartEEPROM not configured, proceed\n");
+        user_row[1] |= (0x12);


Maybe this should be:

Suggested change

user_row[1] |= (0x12);

user_row[1] = (user_row[1] & ~0x7fUL) | 0x12;

so that it won't produce anything unexpected if the SmartEEPROM was already configured, but with some other settings?

ifonefox · 2020-08-13T15:18:07Z

Any update on this? I saw that @just-another-jxliu released 1.0.4 a month ago, but it doesn't seem to change any of the SmartEEPROM functionality.

drashna · 2020-09-15T06:00:45Z

@just-another-jxliu @pschmuckal @Massdrop or whomever, is there any actual plan to review this and merge it in?

qmk/qmk_firmware#6068 is waiting on this to be merged, so that the ATSAM boards can actually have EEPROM/persistent setting storage.

And it is pretty clear that this is wanted by the community. However, the lack of even any reviews or even any comments is concerning, especially for such a critical feature like SmartEEPROM support

a7hybnj2 · 2020-11-07T04:05:09Z

This PR is amazing BUT it doesn't work for the Drop/Ctrl that I received in the mail today. I did use the same PR to get my older Massdrop/Alt working and it is flawless. The Ctrl times out on the 60 seconds and never finds a valid device. I tested the master branch massdrop/mdloader and loaded qmk_firmware/ctrl:mac without issue.

Thanks!

robhaswell · 2020-11-07T12:00:10Z

@a7hybnj2 the master branch received some updates recently so perhaps they are required for your new CTRL to work.

Could you try checking this branch out, merging master into it and then giving it a go?

Great thinking!

git clone git@github.com:Massdrop/mdloader.git
cd mdloader/
git fetch origin pull/16/head:enable-smart-eeprom
git branch
git merge enable-smart-eeprom 
make
./build/mdloader -f --smarteep --restart

Near the end had me worried because there was no success indicator. So, initially I just read SmartEEPROM not configured and I was all worried. Also, it appears when setting --smarteep --restart that restart never actually happens. I have to unplug and replug my device (which is fine). Using mdloader to write the .bin restarts the keyboard just fine.

a7hybnj2 · 2020-11-11T19:42:04Z

I am overall very satisfied with this update but I think I have found some issues. There is noway to clear the eeprom, the only way I knew how to clear eeprom was via qmk-toolbox - clear eeprom button but that doesn't seem to have an effect. I am trying to flash a new firmware file to my keyboard but it is behaving very strangely because I think it is trying to apply settings from the previous version that has been saved in eeprom. Also, there is no way to fully reset the board as reflashing the firmware doesn't clear the eeprom.

I tried this using mdloader again with the same flag thinking maybe it would act as a toggle but that wasn't the case. The message was something to the effect of 'already enabled'.

If anyone could let me know what I should try next. Thanks.

tzarc · 2020-11-17T22:30:22Z

Add an EEP_RST keycode to your keymap, hit it, then unplug/replug. Should wipe things.

a7hybnj2 · 2020-11-17T22:38:07Z

@tzarc YES!!! Fn+esc (which I picked) is now my clear. It totally works! Awesome!

Stvad · 2020-11-23T06:11:18Z

Add an EEP_RST keycode to your keymap, hit it, then unplug/replug. Should wipe things.

How does one do that? Can I do that with online configurator https://drop.com/mechanical-keyboards/configurator/preset/ctrl--default or do I need to work with the "raw" qmk firmware?

Stvad · 2020-11-23T07:21:28Z

ok. for future people who have no clue like me - the approximate order of actions is:

setup qmk env https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs_getting_started
checkout the https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware and merge in the massdrop alt/ctrl: support saving into nvm qmk/qmk_firmware#6068
change your chosen firmware to have EEP_RST (i.e. in my case it was changing https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/massdrop/ctrl/keymaps/mac/keymap.c )
build firmware via qmk compile (e.g. qmk compile -kb massdrop/ctrl -km mac)
it's gonna produce the bin of the firmware
get master of this repo, merge in this PR and build mdloader
use resulting binary to load the firmware as usual
run ./build/mdloader -f --smarteep to enable persistence
restart keyboard

a7hybnj2 · 2020-11-23T12:05:24Z

@Stvad yes that looks like the same order of operations as I performed.

Don't forget the last step of loading the *.bin

jnahc · 2021-01-03T05:47:03Z

ok. for future people who have no clue like me - the approximate order of actions is:

setup qmk env https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs_getting_started

checkout the https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware and merge in the qmk/qmk_firmware#6068
- i ran into a bunch of link errors gh pr checkout 9485, git checkout master, git branch, git merge fix-massdrop-gcc10
- I ran into another link error that required gh pr checkout 10728, git checkout master, git merge cambios

change your chosen firmware to have EEP_RST (i.e. in my case it was changing https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/massdrop/ctrl/keymaps/mac/keymap.c )
- go to the same file on your computer, under const uint16_t, on [1] = LAYOUT - replace _______ (7 underscores) with EEP_RST to the corresponding key above

build firmware via qmk compile (e.g. qmk compile -kb massdrop/ctrl -km mac)

it's gonna produce the bin of the firmware
- to make things simple, move the bin file it produced to where your mdloader is

get master of this repo, merge in this PR and build mdloader

use resulting binary to load the firmware as usual
- use make to build

run ./build/mdloader -f --smarteep to enable persistence
*- press & hold fn b for 1 sec and release, you have 60 seconds to do this
- after this command you'll need to unplug/replug your keyboard
- just to play it safe i did ./mdloader --first -U ctrl_default.bin --addr 0x4000 --size 0x10000 --restart to grab the original settings
- press & hold fn b as above
- to write the bin we produced from above files ./mdloader --first -D massdrop_ctrl_mac.bin --restart
- press & hold fn b

restart keyboard

Thanks all, this worked beautifully for me on Big Sur. Added some other things I had to do in bold.

TheZoc · 2021-01-31T23:39:53Z

Hi there :)

I rewrote this ticket in #49 and hopefully it's easier to review and merge into the main branch.
I'd love if you guys could take a look and review my suggested changes :)

jbradforddillon · 2021-02-01T16:03:17Z

Just wanted to throw a note in here that I just used these instructions along with @TheZoc's branch, and it worked perfectly. Thanks all!

peepeetee · 2021-02-25T01:35:47Z

Why is this not merged? Seems trivial

TheZoc · 2021-02-25T02:00:21Z

@peepeetee there are a few issues in this PR, and as a whole this PR is hard to read. That's why I rewrote it so it is easier to understand and fix a few issues I found along the way. I have no idea, though, why it didn't get a review.
If qmk guys are willing to merge the PR over there, I can happily maintain a fork of this repo with my changes :)

ash0x0 · 2021-02-28T21:38:03Z

@just-another-jxliu it seems you're the only one affiliated with Massdrop at the moment. Can we get some update on the status of this repo? Is this abandonware or is this just for you guys to maintain new boards or is it being actively maintained or what?

pdm-pcb · 2021-09-11T18:45:45Z

+1 to the above, even now. Not sure what's going on with this repo, but this is an important program, so... =)
