Instruction for QMK usage on YMDK Split 64 using linux
This is all the steps required to use QMK on YMDK Split 64: https://ymdkey.com/products/ymdk-split-64-sp64-cnc-aluminum-case-plate-hot-socket-hot-swap-pcb-underglow-rgb-fully-programmable-diy-kit
Install qmk : https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs_getting_started
Setup proper priviledge to communicate with keyboard bootloader device: https://docs.qmk.fm/#/faq_build?id=linux-udev-rules
Set up your own keymap folder or choose available pre-built keymap in ~/qmk_firmware/keyboards/ymdk/sp64/keymaps
Run 'qmk flash -kb ymdk/sp64 -km default' with your desired keymap folder replacing 'default'
Unplug device , press down left control (bottom left most key) while plugging the device back in to put the keyboard in a flashable state. Note some older versions of Split 64 may require you to press down the escape (top left most key).
Flashing should finish. Plug in and out your keyboard and the new keymaps should be working.

Some comments:

For this to work you need to run qmk setup between 4 and 5.

Also, it is not clear when flashing finishes. Waited about 15 minutes and did not work
