This isn't a detailed guide for how to use Soarer to USB-ify a Model F XT, but has a Makefile to run some of the steps and my layout.txt.
Run the following to download and unpack Soarer 1.12:
make soarer
Use avrdude as per guide above to flash soarer/firmware/Soarer_at2usb_v1.12_atmega32u4.hex.

To reconfigure the keyboard, you first need to allow your user to write to it:
$ # Find the bus/device for the keyboard $ lsusb | grep "Teensy Keyboard" Bus 001 Device 016: ID 16c0:047d Van Ooijen Technische Informatica Teensy Keyboard+Debug $ # Then, temporarily, let anyone write to it: $ sudo chmod a+rw /dev/bus/usb/001/016
Then build and write layout.bin to the keyboard with:
make write
You'll need to disconnect / reconnect once written.
