Flashing ducky - a3rd/USB-Rubber-Ducky GitHub Wiki
- summary How-to Flash / Update / Change the Firmware on the Ducky
When it comes to programming the Duck you'll need these resources for Windows: http://code.google.com/p/ducky-decode/source/browse/trunk/Flash/Duck%20Programming.zip .
Additionally you may need JRE FLIP from http://www.atmel.com/tools/FLIP.aspx and be sure to use the drivers in the Programming.zip
All relevant Flash files can be found in the GitHub
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable:
* x86 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/deails.aspx?id=5555 * x64 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=14632
From a clean install on my system, I made the following steps:
* Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable * Install Flip * Install Atmel Driver
I inserted the ducky in dfu-mode (holding the Ducky's button down, while inserting the Ducky at the same time)
When Windows couldnt find the driver, I did a manual install (sometimes a wizard will pop up, sometimes it wont)
* Load Device Manager * Find Atmel DFU Device * Update Driver * Manual Install * Point Windows to the Atmel drivers from duck_programming.zip
Or alternatively, you could try:
Control-Panel ->Hardware & Sound -> Add a device -> select atmel-dfu -> manually search for driver -> point to unzipped atmel-driver folder -> ok ->done
Signed Driver Warning:
On Win7 I had a signed driver warning, but chose "install anyway". To successfully install the driver.
Win7 wont allow me to install an unsigned driver:
The Atmel driver is signed! You should not see this error!
But for reference:
Take a look at http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/how-to-install-use-unsigned-drivers-in-windows-vista-7-x64.127187/
Windows says the driver is already installed!
This message should be familiar
Device selection....................... PASS Hardware selection..................... PASS Opening port........................... AtLibUsbDfu: 3EB 2FF6 no device present.
Windows installs the wrong driver.... Perform these steps:
* Load Device Manager * Find Atmel DFU Device * Update Driver * Manual Install * Point Windows to the Atmel drivers from duck_programming.zip
Now you should get no errors:

First insert the ducky while continuously keeping the little black button pressed.
This puts the ducky into _dfu-mode_; we need to be in this mode to update the firmware.
It's pretty simple, just execute:
program.bat newfirmware.hex
On the Unix/OSX side grab these nice shell scripts to dump existing and program new firmware. Available here:
Note: There are reported problems with dfu programmer version 0.5.2, please try the latest version in the link provided above.sudo ./dfu-programmer at32uc3b1256 dump >dump.bin
Don't forget to get the ducky working again:
sudo ./dfu-programmer at32uc3b1256 reset
1st Erase ducky:
sudo ./dfu-programmer at32uc3b1256 erase
Update firmware:
sudo ./dfu-programmer at32uc3b1256 flash --suppress-bootloader-mem ducky-update.hex
Don't forget to get the ducky working again:
sudo ./dfu-programmer at32uc3b1256 reset
