LUFA MassStorage Bootloader for Atreus A-Star Micro
This is a modified LUFA bootloader for the Atreus with the A-Star Micro controller. With this installed you can start the bootloader by holding the key in the bottom right corner of the keyboard while plugging the board in. While in bootloader mode pressing the key in the bottom left corner will exit the bootloader.While the keyboard is running you can run the bootloader by pressing the key assigned to the RESET command. You need also to be holding down the bottom right key during the bootloader startup, otherwise it will go right back to running the keyboard code. Easiest to assign the RESET command to use the bottom right key, so you just hold it down until it restarts in Mass Storage mode.
While in bootloader it will appear as a USB drive. You can flash the board by replacing the FLASH.bin file on the virtual drive.
For details of how this works and how to flash it see http://www.40percent.club/2016/08/self-flashing-planck.html
Modifications to the Makefile are the same as for the Pro Micro. The modified BootloaderMassStorage.c is here. https://gist.github.com/di0ib/4714e30cd8297f890e8cd7aeb041b553
QMK firmware has been updated so that it will generate bin files for you.
make flashbin
Will convert the .hex to a .bin
