Exit quickly when cmake or make fail The compilation process itself doesn't take very long, but it's weird to let it continue trying to build when we've encountered an error worthy of changing cmake/make's return codes. This gives clear indication of a failed build as the last line of the script's output.

The Kiibohd Controller
======================

This is the main Kiibohd Firmware.
In general, this should be the **only** git repo you need to clone.
The [KLL](https://github.com/kiibohd/kll) git repo is automatically cloned during the build process.

Please refer to the [KLL](https://github.com/kiibohd/kll) repo or [kiibohd.com](http://kiibohd.com) for details on the KLL (Keyboard Layout Language) Spec.



Official Keyboards
------------------

* MD1      (Infinity Keyboard/IC60 2014/10/15)
* MDErgo1  (Infinity Ergodox /ICED 2015/03/31)
* WhiteFox (Soon to be released?)


The Kiibohd firmware supports a lot of other keyboards, but these are more obscure/custom/lesser known.



Compilation
-----------

Compilation is possible and tested on Windows/Linux/Mac.
Linux is the easiest using this [VM](https://s3.amazonaws.com/configurator-assets/ArchLinux_kiibohd_2015-02-13.tar.gz).

For most people refer [here](https://github.com/kiibohd/controller/tree/master/Keyboards).

For the full compilation details, please refer to the [wiki](https://github.com/kiibohd/controller/wiki).



Supported Microcontrollers
--------------------------

* Teensy 2.0 (Partial)
* Teensy 2.0++
* Teensy 3.0
* Teensy 3.1
* mk20dx128vlf5
* mk20dx256vlh7


Adding support for more microcontrollers is possible.
Some considerations for minimum specs:

* ~8  kB of SRAM
* ~25 kB of Flash

It's possible to port chips with lower specs, but will be more effort and have fewer features.
