# Frequently Asked Build Questions

This page covers questions about building QMK. If you have not yet you should read the [Build Environment Setup](getting_started_build_tools.md) and [Make Instructions](getting_started_make_guide.md) guides.

## Can't Program on Linux
|
||||
You will need proper permission to operate a device. For Linux users see udev rules below. Easy way is to use `sudo` command, if you are not familiar with this command check its manual with `man sudo` or this page on line.

You will need proper permissions to operate a device. For Linux users, see the instructions regarding `udev` rules, below. If you have issues with `udev`, a work-around is to use the `sudo` command. If you are not familiar with this command, check its manual with `man sudo` or [see this webpage](https://linux.die.net/man/8/sudo).

In short when your controller is ATMega32u4,

An example of using `sudo`, when your controller is ATMega32u4:
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo dfu-programmer atmega32u4 erase --force
|
||||
$ sudo dfu-programmer atmega32u4 flash your.hex
|
||||
$ sudo dfu-programmer atmega32u4 reset

or just
|
||||
or just:
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo make <keyboard>:<keymap>:dfu
|
||||
|
||||
But to run `make` with root privilege is not good idea. Use former method if possible.
|
||||
|
||||
## WINAVR is Obsolete
|
||||
It is no longer recommended and may cause some problem.
|
||||
See [TMK Issue #99](https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/99).
|
||||
|
||||
## USB VID and PID
|
||||
You can use any ID you want with editing `config.h`. Using any presumably unused ID will be no problem in fact except for very low chance of collision with other product.
|
||||
|
||||
Most boards in QMK use `0xFEED` as the vendor ID. You should look through other keyboards to make sure you pick a unique Product ID.
|
||||
|
||||
Also see this.

|
||||

||||
You can buy a really unique VID:PID here. I don't think you need this for personal use.

Note that running `make` with `sudo` is generally *not* a good idea, and you should use one of the former methods, if possible.

## Linux `udev` Rules

On Linux you need proper privilege to access device file of MCU, you'll have to use `sudo` when flashing firmware. You can circumvent this with placing these files in `/etc/udev/rules.d/`.

@ -33,7 +33,7 @@ The state of the Keymap layer is determined by two 32 bit parameters:
|
|||
* **`default_layer_state`** indicates a base keymap layer (0-31) which is always valid and to be referred (the default layer).
|
||||
* **`layer_state`** has current on/off status of each layer in its bits.

Keymap layer '0' is usually `default_layer`, wither other layers initially off after booting up the firmware, although this can configured differently in `config.h`. It is useful to change `default_layer` when you completely switch a key layout, for example, if you want to switch to Colemak instead of Qwerty.
