+# Pearl 40%
+
+Pearl 40% is a keyboard designed by Koobaczech. It uses an Atmel
+ATMEGA32A MCU.
+
+Keyboard Maintainer: [Ethan Madden](https://github.com/jetpacktuxedo)
+Hardware Supported: Pearl
+Hardware Availability: [Geekhack Group Buy](https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=92259.0)
+
+Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
+
+ make pearl:default
+
+Flashing
+
+ps2avr(GB) boards use an atmega32a microcontroller and a different bootloader. It is not flashable using the regular QMK methods.
+
+**Reset Key:** Hold down the key located at `K00`.
+
+Windows:
+1. Download [HIDBootFlash](http://vusb.wikidot.com/project:hidbootflash).
+2. Place your keyboard into reset.
+3. Press the `Find Device` button and ensure that your keyboard is found.
+4. Press the `Open .hex File` button and locate the `.hex` file you created.
+5. Press the `Flash Device` button and wait for the process to complete.
+
+macOS:
+1. Install homebrew by typing the following:
+ ```
+ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
+ ```
+2. Install `crosspack-avr`.
+ ```
+ brew cask install crosspack-avr
+ ```
+3. Install the following packages:
+ ```
+ brew install python3
+ pip3 install pyusb
+ brew install --HEAD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robertgzr/homebrew-tap/master/bootloadhid.rb
+ ```
+4. Place your keyboard into reset.
+5. Flash the board by typing `bootloadHID -r` followed by the path to your `.hex` file.
+
+**Please Note:** You will need to use the `EEP_RST` keycode first, followed by unplugging/replugging the board to get RGB underglow effects to work.
