+# E6-V2 Bootmapper Client (ps2avrgb)
+
+These docs are for the BMC version of the E6-V2 PCB which has an atmega32a microcontroller. Please do not flash this `.hex` file on your atmega32u4 equipped E6-V2.
+
+Keyboard Maintainer: [MechMerlin](https://github.com/mechmerlin)
+Hardware Supported: ps2avrgb E6-V2 with atmega32a microcontroller
+Hardware Availability: [geekhack.org/index.php?topic=90787.0](https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=90787.0)
+
+Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
+
+ make exclusive/e6v2/bmc:default
+
+Flashing
+
+ps2avr(GB) boards use an atmega32a microcontroller and a different bootloader. It is not flashable using the regular QMK methods.
+
+**Reset Key:** Hold down the key located at `K00`, commonly programmed as left control while plugging in the keyboard. You may also hold down the key located at `K50`, commonly programmed as the escape key.
+
+Windows:
+1. Download [HIDBootFlash](http://vusb.wikidot.com/project:hidbootflash).
+2. Place your keyboard into reset.
+3. Press the `Find Device` button and ensure that your keyboard is found.
+4. Press the `Open .hex File` button and locate the `.hex` file you created.
+5. Press the `Flash Device` button and wait for the process to complete.
+
+macOS:
+1. Install homebrew by typing the following:
+ ```
+ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
+ ```
+2. Install `crosspack-avr`.
+ ```
+ brew cask install crosspack-avr
+ ```
+3. Install the following packages:
+ ```
+ brew install python
+ pip3 install pyusb
+ brew install --HEAD`https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robertgzr/homebrew-tap/master/bootloadhid.rb
+
+4. Place your keyboard into reset.
+5. Flash the board by typing `bootloadHID -r` followed by the path to your `.hex` file.
