+AMJ60 keyboard firmware
+======================
+DIY/Assembled compact 60% keyboard.
+
+## Quantum MK Firmware
+
+For the full Quantum feature list, see [the parent readme.md](/readme.md).
+
+## Building
+
+Download or clone the whole firmware and navigate to the keyboards/amj60
+folder. Once your dev env is setup, you'll be able to type `make` to generate
+your .hex - you can then use `make dfu` to program your PCB once you hit the
+reset button. 
+
+Depending on which keymap you would like to use, you will have to compile
+slightly differently.
+
+### Default
+To build with the default keymap, simply run `make`.
+
+### Other Keymaps
+Several version of keymap are available in advance but you are recommended to
+define your favorite layout yourself. To define your own keymap create file
+named `<name>.c` in the keymaps folder, and see keymap document (you can find
+in top readme.md) and existent keymap files.
+
+To build the firmware binary hex file with a keymap just do `make` with
+`KEYMAP` option like:
+``
+$ make KEYMAP=[default|jack|<name>]
+``
+Keymaps follow the format **__\<name\>.c__** and are stored in the `keymaps`
+folder.
+
+## Variations
+KEYMAP macros for the following layouts are available:
+
+* default, for all the available, possible keys
+* ANSI, for 60% ANSI keyboard
+* ISO
+* ISO w/ split right shift key
+* HHKB
+
+Remark: all but "ISO w/ split tight shift key" are untested and were done to the best of my knowledge.
+
+### Original tmk firmware
+The original firmware that was used to port to qmk can be found [here](https://github.com/AMJKeyboard/AMJ60).
