# Ultimate Hacking Keyboard bootloader # Ultimate Hacking Keyboard bootloader
This repository contains the bootloader of the [Ultimate Hacking Keyboard](https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/) based on [NXP Kinetis Bootloader](http://www.nxp.com/products/microcontrollers-and-processors/arm-processors/kinetis-cortex-m-mcus/kinetis-symbols-footprints-and-models/kinetis-bootloader:KBOOT) v2.0 This repository contains the bootloader of the [Ultimate Hacking Keyboard](https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/) which is a fully functional port of [KBOOT](http://www.nxp.com/products/microcontrollers-and-processors/arm-processors/kinetis-cortex-m-mcus/kinetis-symbols-footprints-and-models/kinetis-bootloader:KBOOT) v2.0, including its full command set.

This bootloader is a fully functional porting of KBOOT 2.0. It supports the full command set from KBOOT 2.0 and the device can be controlled and erased/programmed easily using
