James Churchill 28929ad017 Simplify split_common Code significantly (#4772)
* Eliminate separate slave loop

Both master and slave run the standard keyboard_task main loop now.

* Refactor i2c/serial specific code

Simplify some of the preprocessor mess by using common function names.

* Fix missing #endif

* Move direct pin mapping support from miniaxe to split_common

For boards with more pins than sense--sorry, switches.

* Reordering and reformatting only

* Don't run matrix_scan_quantum on slave side

* Clean up the offset/slaveOffset calculations

* Cut undebounced matrix size in half

* Refactor debouncing

* Minor fixups

* Split split_common transport and debounce code into their own files

Can now be replaced with custom versions per keyboard using
CUSTOM_TRANSPORT = yes and CUSTOM_DEBOUNCE = yes

* Refactor debounce for non-split keyboards too

* Update handwired/xealous to build using new split_common

* Fix debounce breaking basic test

* Dodgy method to allow a split kb to only include one of i2c/serial

SPLIT_TRANSPORT = serial or SPLIT_TRANSPORT = i2c will include only
that driver code in the binary.

SPLIT_TRANSPORT = custom (or anything else) will include neither, the
keyboard must supply it's own code

if SPLIT_TRANSPORT is not defined then the original behaviour (include
both avr i2c and serial code) is maintained.

This could be better but it would require explicitly updating all the
existing split keyboards.

* Enable LTO to get lets_split/sockets under the line

* Add docs for SPLIT_TRANSPORT, CUSTOM_MATRIX, CUSTOM_DEBOUNCE

* Remove avr-specific sei() from split matrix_setup

Not needed now that slave doesn't have a separate main loop.
Both sides (on avr) call sei() in lufa's main() after exiting
keyboard_setup().

* Fix QUANTUM_LIB_SRC references and simplify SPLIT_TRANSPORT.

* Add comments and fix formatting.

Quantum Mechanical Keyboard Firmware

Current Version Build Status Discord Docs Status GitHub contributors GitHub forks

What is QMK Firmware?

QMK (Quantum Mechanical Keyboard) is an open source community that maintains QMK Firmware, QMK Toolbox, qmk.fm, and these docs. QMK Firmware is a keyboard firmware based on the tmk_keyboard with some useful features for Atmel AVR controllers, and more specifically, the OLKB product line, the ErgoDox EZ keyboard, and the Clueboard product line. It has also been ported to ARM chips using ChibiOS. You can use it to power your own hand-wired or custom keyboard PCB.

How to Get It

If you plan on contributing a keymap, keyboard, or features to QMK, the easiest thing to do is fork the repo through Github, and clone your repo locally to make your changes, push them, then open a Pull Request from your fork.

Otherwise, you can either download it directly (zip, tar), or clone it via git (git@github.com:qmk/qmk_firmware.git), or https (https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware.git).

How to Compile

Before you are able to compile, you'll need to install an environment for AVR or/and ARM development. Once that is complete, you'll use the make command to build a keyboard and keymap with the following notation:

make planck/rev4:default

This would build the rev4 revision of the planck with the default keymap. Not all keyboards have revisions (also called subprojects or folders), in which case, it can be omitted:

make preonic:default

How to Customize

QMK has lots of features to explore, and a good deal of reference documentation to dig through. Most features are taken advantage of by modifying your keymap, and changing the keycodes.
