Troubleshooting
First, check if your cable is all right or just try other cable.
Believe me. Not negligible number of people had trouble with bad USB cable and they tend to suspect their cable at the last for some reason.
Be cautious of especially Micro USB cables these days, some are for charge only without data lines and others are just crappy and they often come with cheap gadgets.
Try other posts.
TMK firmware uses 0xFEED as USB Vendor id(VID) by default. It is not registered with official USB.org or other usb device databases.
Product id(PID)s are assigned arbitrarily by project authors.
Ids are defined with VENDOR_ID and PRODUCT_ID macros in config.h.
TMK device can have some USB HID interfaces(keyboard, mouse, consumer/media keys and system keys), its number varies according to you configuration.
You should find some devices under "Human Interface Devices" tree in Device Manager and their names are "USB Input Device" and "USB Compliant ...".
When placing the device into programming mode(bootloader) by pressing program button Device Manager shows as follows.
If you don't have driver it is located under 'Other devices'.
After proper driver is installed it should look this.
See Driver-install-on-Windows for driver installation.
You can find TMK devices with command lsusb -dFEED:,
Bus 005 Device 007: ID feed:caaa
Bus 005 Device 008: ID feed:4707
and lsusb -dFEED: -v shows more details of the devices.
To see HID report descriptor check this wiki page.
-62 means "Timer expired" according to errno.h.
You will see this error in /var/log/kern.log when slow startup prevents USB enumeration process. It is important to make control endpoint responsive to packets form host in early stage.
- if
INTERRUPT_CONTROL_ENDPOINTis defined you have to enable interrupt bysei()earlier as possible - otherwise
USB_USBTask()should be called earlier and more frequently
You have unexpected keymapping like: swap of Alt and Gui, disabled Gui, Grave instead of Esc?
Hold Space and Backspace down and then plug into USB port to clear Boot Magic configuration stored on eeprom.

EEPROM can be messed up accidentally and you may want to erase EEPROM content when in trouble.
Just flash eeprom_wipe.hex and replug to erase EEPROM.

| mode | RAM powered | Data stored | hibernatemode | Desc |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sleep | yes | no | 0 | default for desktop |
| hibernation | no | yes | 1 | default for portable before 2005(not used anymore) |
| safe sleep | yes | yes | 3 | default for portable after 2005 |
| hibernation | no | yes | 25 | new hibernation |
Some Mac notebook computers have a feature called safe sleep. With safe sleep, each time the Mac goes to sleep, the current state of the Mac is saved
https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/what-is-safe-sleep-mh10328/mac
availble for Mac released in 2013 and later. standby only works if hibernation is turned on to hibernatemode 3 or 25.
Standby is refered as DEEPSLEEP in source code.

To exit standby mode do any of the following things:
- Open the MacBook lid and press any button
- Click a mouse or trackpad button
- Plug in a display
