-# BootloadHID Flashing Instructions and Bootloader Information
-
-ps2avr(GB) boards use an ATmega32A microcontroller and a different bootloader. It is not flashable using the regular QMK methods.
-
-General flashing sequence:
-
-1. Enter the bootloader using any of the following methods:
-    * Tap the `QK_BOOT` keycode (may not work on all devices)
-    * Hold the salt key while plugging the keyboard in (usually documented within keyboard readme) 
-2. Wait for the OS to detect the device
-3. Flash a .hex file
-4. Reset the device into application mode (may be done automatically)
-
-## bootloadHID Flashing Target
-
-::: tip
-Using the QMK installation script, detailed [here](newbs_getting_started), the required bootloadHID tools should be automatically installed.
-:::
-
-To flash via the command line, use the target `:bootloadhid` by executing the following command:
-
-```
-make <keyboard>:<keymap>:bootloadhid
-```
-
-## GUI Flashing
-
-### Windows
-1. Download [HIDBootFlash](http://vusb.wikidot.com/project:hidbootflash).
-2. Place your keyboard into reset. 
-3. Ensure the configured VendorID is `16c0` and ProductID is `05df`
-4. Press the `Find Device` button and ensure that your keyboard is found.
-5. Press the `Open .hex File` button and locate the `.hex` file you created.
-6. Press the `Flash Device` button and wait for the process to complete.
-
-## Command Line Flashing
-
-1. Place your keyboard into reset. 
-2. Flash the board by typing `bootloadHID -r` followed by the path to your `.hex` file.
-
-### Windows Manual Installation
-For MSYS2:
-1. Download the BootloadHID firmware package from https://www.obdev.at/downloads/vusb/bootloadHID.2012-12-08.tar.gz.
-2. Extract contents using a compatible tool, for example 7-Zip.
-3. Add to the MSYS path by copying `commandline/bootloadHID.exe` from the extracted archive to your MSYS2 installation, typically `C:\msys64\usr\bin`.
-
-For native Windows flashing, the `bootloadHID.exe` can be used outside of the MSYS2 environment.
-
-### Linux Manual Installation
-1. Install libusb development dependency:
-    ```
-    # This depends on OS - for Debian the following works
-    sudo apt-get install libusb-dev
-    ```
-2. Download the BootloadHID firmware package:
-    ```
-    wget https://www.obdev.at/downloads/vusb/bootloadHID.2012-12-08.tar.gz -O - | tar -xz -C /tmp
-    ```
-3. Build the bootloadHID executable:
-    ```
-    cd /tmp/bootloadHID.2012-12-08/commandline/
-    make
-    sudo cp bootloadHID /usr/local/bin
-    ```
-
-### MacOS Manual Installation
-1. Install Homebrew by typing the following:
-    ```
-    /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
-    ```
-2. Install the following packages:
-    ```
-    brew install --HEAD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robertgzr/homebrew-tap/master/bootloadhid.rb
-    ```
