Installation Instructions
- Download the file to your Mac and unzip
- Disconnect the keyboard and flip it over
- Use a pair of strong tweezers or a thin object to remove the rectangular dark gray adhesive plastic BOOTLOADER BUTTON COVER on the backside of the right key module (see red arrow below). Note: You need to wedge underneath the cover and then pry it up.
- Use a pencil or similar object to depress the exposed bootloader button (shown below) WHILE connecting the keyboard to your Mac, release 1-2 seconds after connecting
- If done correctly, a removable drive will appear on your Mac called “RPI-RP2”
- Copy/Paste the firmware file directly to that drive. The file will auto-install but your Mac may generate a file transfer message error message.
- Disconnect and reconnect your keyboard
