10 #### 2016/02/10
11 core: flabbergast's Chibios protocol was merged from <https://github.com/flabbergast/tmk_keyboard/tree/chibios> (@72b1668). See [tmk_core/protocol/chibios/README.md](tmk_core/protocol/chibios/README.md). Chibios protocol supports Cortex-M such as STM32 and Kinetis.

13 #### 2015/04/22
14 Core library was separated to other branch `core`. <https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/tree/core>
15
16 In `Makefile` you need to set `TMK_DIR` to indicate core library location now.

130 Magic Commands
131 --------------
132 To see help press `Magic` + `H`.
133
134 `Magic` key combination is `LShift` + `RShift` in many project, but `Power` key on ADB converter. 
135 `Magic` keybind can be vary on each project, check `config.h` in project directory.
136
137 Following commands can be also executed with `Magic` + key. In console mode `Magic` keybind is not needed.
138

161 Boot Magic Configuration - Virtual DIP Switch
162 ---------------------------------------------
163 Boot Magic are executed during boot up time. Press Magic key below then plug in keyboard cable.
164 Note that you must use keys of **Layer 0** as Magic keys. These settings are stored in EEPROM so that retain your configure over power cycles.
165
166 To avoid configuring accidentally additive salt key `KC_SPACE` also needs to be pressed along with the following configuration keys. The salt key is configurable in `config.h`. See [tmk_core/common/bootmagic.h](tmk_core/common/bootmagic.h).
167
168 #### General
169 - Skip reading EEPROM to start with default configuration(`ESC`)
170 - Clear configuration stored in EEPROM to reset configuration(`Backspace`)
171
172 #### Bootloader
173 - Kick up Bootloader(`B`)
174
175 #### Debug
176 - Debug enable(`D`)
177 - Debug matrix enable(`D`+`X`)
178 - Debug keyboard enable(`D`+`K`)
179 - Debug mouse enable(`D`+`M`)
180
181 #### Keymap
182 - Swap Control and CapsLock(`Left Control`)
183 - Change CapsLock to Control(`Caps Lock`)
184 - Swap LeftAlt and Gui(`Left Alt`)
185 - Swap RightAlt and Gui(`Right Alt`)
186 - Disable Gui(`Left Gui`)
187 - Swap Grave and Escape(`Grave`)
188 - Swap BackSlash and BackSpace(`Back Slash`)
189 - Enable NKRO on boot(`N`)
190
191 #### Default Layer
192 - Set Default Layer to 0(`0`)
193 - Set Default Layer to 1(`1`)
194 - Set Default Layer to 2(`2`)
195 - Set Default Layer to 3(`3`)
196 - Set Default Layer to 4(`4`)
197 - Set Default Layer to 5(`5`)
198 - Set Default Layer to 6(`6`)
199 - Set Default Layer to 7(`7`)

203 Mechanical Locking support
204 --------------------------
205 This feature makes it possible for you to use mechanical locking switch for `CapsLock`, `NumLock` 
206 or `ScrollLock`. To enable this feature define these macros in `config.h` and use `KC_LCAP`, `KC_LN
207 UM` or `KC_LSCR` in keymap for locking key instead of normal `KC_CAPS`, `KC_NLCK` or `KC_SLCK`. Res
208 ync option tries to keep switch state consistent with keyboard LED state.

220
221 Debugging
222 --------
223 Use PJRC's `hid_listen` to see debug messages. You can use the tool for debug even if firmware use LUFA stack.
224
225 You can use xprintf() to display debug info on `hid_listen`, see `tmk_core/common/xprintf.h`.
