Einleitung

In order to flash the firmware of the System Controller, you need another computer and a USB cable. Depending on the revision of your Reform, you may need either a Micro-USB or a USB type-C cable.

You will also need the firmware, which can be downloaded from the reform2-lpc-fw folder in the main Reform repository.

    • Remove the following screws securing the transparent acrylic bottom plate to the main box:

    • Ten M2×6mm silver Phillips screws

  2. SowXPRwuwFe6UEfk

    • Lift the bottom plate and set it aside.

    • Before servicing anything on the inside, make sure to remove all battery cells.

    • Use a spudger or your fingernail to set the DIP switch LPCP to ON.

    • The LPCP switch is located on the motherboard, between the CPU module and trackball or trackpad.

  4. TfQ1SBBnULROoWTN

    • Use a spudger or your finger to press the LPCRST button next to the DIP switch from the previous step.

  5. 1aCEUjXiva3gbAtZ

    • Connect a Micro-USB cable into the LPC USB port.

    • On newer revisions of the Reform, the Micro-USB port has been replaced with a USB type-C port.

  6. JQhTxw3GYLaqF2MQ

    • Plug the other end of the cable into another computer. The system controller's memory appears as a virtual flash drive on that computer.

    • Open a terminal and navigate to the reform2-lpc-fw folder you've downloaded from the Reform repository.

    • Check lsblk or dmesg -w to find out which drive the LPC shows up as, then edit flash.sh with the correct path to the virtual flash drive (e.g. /dev/sdx).

    • Double-check the path to make sure it is correct, as entering the wrong one could destroy data on your computer!

    • Execute flash.sh as root.

  7. nG25XpYhiwVsElk1

    • Disconnect the USB cable from the LPC USB port.

    • Use a spudger or your fingernail to set the DIP switch LPCP to OFF, which is the side labeled "1".

  9. PYOP5lZ1toEfRHfP

    • Use a spudger or your finger to press the LPCRST button again.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow steps 1 and 2 in reverse order. Ensure that no cables are squeezed when replacing the bottom plate. Don't overtighten screws.
