Important Note for Windows Users

dfu-programmer v1.0.0 has dropped support for libusb-win32 (libusb0) in favour of libusb-1.0. As such the driver installation has been updated to designate WinUSB for Atmel DFU bootloader devices. You may need to manually uninstall the libusb0 driver for existing bootloaders on your machine.

Important Note for macOS Users

Although the Toolbox itself will run on Apple Silicon Macs, the flasher binaries are still Intel-based and do not work. Installing Rosetta may help, but this has not been tested.


  • [Windows] Fixed bug where some USB devices would not be detected properly (#476)
  • [Windows] Improved extraction of flasher binaries (#478)
  • Downgraded avrdude to 7.0 due to issues on Windows (#475)
  • Refactored HID Console code to allow for Raw HID device detection (#473)

  • [Windows] Fixed bug where Toolbox may stop opening after some time (#282)
  • General cleanups (#268, #269, #270, #271, #275, #277, #279, #288, #291)

  • [macOS] Updated binaries from Homebrew (#292)
  • "beta" releases now published on every push to master (#261) - https://github.com/qmk/qmk_toolbox/releases/beta

Known issues:

  • [Windows] If the Toolbox detects the bootloader device, but fails to flash, make sure you have installed the drivers: select Tools -> Install Drivers...
  • [Windows] The BootloadHID binary included in the Toolbox package may still be picked up as a virus or prevent the Toolbox from launching. It's a false positive, because of the nature of the utility.
