[Solved] Mounting ZMK keyboard bootloader

Hello,

I am trying to flash a kinesis 360 pro. I've put one side of the keyboard into bootloader mode, which is meant to disconnect the device, and make a USB drive available to the OS to mount and copy firmware onto. However, lsbk only returns my nvme drive.

$ journalctl -xfe

This is the output from connecting the device via USB, then putting the left module into bootloader mode.

Does anyone know what would be necessary to mount the USB device?

Re: [Solved] Mounting ZMK keyboard bootloader

I updated my kernel earlier today. Turned out not even a normal USB drive would display correctly. Gave the computer a reboot and the device was able to be mounted and firmware flashed successfully. Closing
