Kimera core

Kimera core

What little available info that was available for the qmk port

  • atmega32u4 16Mhz
    • board seems to have a 6Mhz crystal
  • 2x PCA9555 I2C IO expander

Bootloader

Default bootloader is atmel-dfu. Reboot to bootloader via magnetic switch next to icsp header. Flash using regular dfu methods.

XD84 pin mappings

Taken from kimera-config.json

"row_mapping": [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ],
"col_mapping": [ 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 ],

RGB

  • PIN C7
  • Number of RGB LED 7

Backlight

  • PIN B6

Light Through Cat

TODO - PWM C6

Assumptions

Pin/Port mappings

  • All cols are on the same IC
  • All rows are on the same IC and port
  • Pins mapped sequentially
  • Each port only does row or column not a mixture of both
    • No need to have complex port config
ROW index Kimera Pin PCA9555
0 1 IC1 Port 0 pin 0
1 2 IC1 Port 0 pin 1
2 3 IC1 Port 0 pin 2
3 4 IC1 Port 0 pin 3
4 5 IC1 Port 0 pin 4
5 6 IC1 Port 0 pin 5
  • Safe enough to assume row_index == pin
COL index Kimera Pin PCA9555
0 17 IC2 Port 0 pin 0
1 18 IC2 Port 0 pin 1
2 19 IC2 Port 0 pin 2
3 20 IC2 Port 0 pin 3
4 21 IC2 Port 0 pin 4
5 22 IC2 Port 0 pin 5
6 23 IC2 Port 0 pin 6
7 24 IC2 Port 0 pin 7
8 25 IC2 Port 1 pin 0
9 26 IC2 Port 1 pin 1
10 27 IC2 Port 1 pin 2
11 28 IC2 Port 1 pin 3
12 29 IC2 Port 1 pin 4
13 30 IC2 Port 1 pin 5
14 31 IC2 Port 1 pin 6
  • Safe enough to assume here col_index does not need to be converted to pin
  • Reading both ports one after the other gives us the same sequential behavior
    • maps to the usual practice of reading matrix columns
    • while this technically gives 16 column reads, the 16th column can never be set so is safely ignored

Notes

pca9555 datasheet

  • Other Kimera based boards with non sequential pin mappings, pins mapped across ICs, or mixed row/col configs will need more complicated pin -> i2c_addr,port,pin logic as well as rather more complex pin functions.

Return to stock firmware

Not tested but original firmware seems to be available in the kairyu/tkg-firmware repo.
