-make sh01/m36:via
+# BCORNE firmware (DH747 / STM32F401)
+
+Keyboard target: `sh01/m36:via`
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. Install [QMK CLI 1.2.0](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/cli) (or QMK MSYS on Windows).
+2. Clone vial-qmk at the IFKB-pinned commit:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/vial-kb/vial-qmk.git
+cd vial-qmk
+git checkout fcd56b119ea8c60142c9a03e997be5a7acba52b7
+make git-submodule
+```
+
+## Install this keyboard port
+
+Copy the contents of this folder into vial-qmk:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p keyboards/sh01/m36
+cp -r /path/to/kb-layouts/corne/firmware/* keyboards/sh01/m36/
+```
+
+The make target comes from that path: `keyboards/sh01/m36` → `sh01/m36:via`.
+
+## Build
+
+```bash
+make sh01/m36:via
+```
+
+Output: `sh01_m36_via.uf2` in the vial-qmk root.
+
+## Flash
+
+Flash **both halves** with the same UF2 file:
+
+1. Connect the half to USB (left half is the normal USB host side).
+2. Double-tap the reset button (not single tap).
+3. A drive named `IFKB` should appear.
+4. Drag the `.uf2` file onto the drive.
+5. Repeat for the other half.
+
+After flashing, load `../corne.vil` in Vial to restore your keymap.
+
+## RGB brightness dial
+
+Brightness step size is controlled in `config.h`:
+
+```c
+#define RGB_MATRIX_VAL_STEP 1
+```
+
+With `max_brightness: 50` in `info.json`, step `1` gives 51 brightness levels.
+Increase to `2` or `4` if the dial feels too slow.
