NOTE: dfu-programmer doesn't work in Ubuntu on Windows 10 :( at this time at least. You can not flash your microcontroller inside ubuntu unfotunately. You need Windows native tool like Atmel FLIP or dfu-programmer to program microcontroller.

How to build tmk

And build firmware, for example.

You can access the firmware under home folder through Explorer.

You can access all files on ubuntu under this holder.
