Let's go through an example, using the following macro:
If the first timer read is 0xe4 and the second one is 0x32, the timer wrapped.
If the timer would have had more bits, it's new value would have been 0x132,
and the correct difference in time is 0x132 - 0xe4 = 0x4e
old code TIMER_DIFF_8(0x32, 0xe4) = 0xff - 0xe4 + 0x32 = 0x4d, which is wrong.
new code TIMER_DIFF_8(0x32, 0xe4) = 0xff + 1 - 0xe4 + 0x32 = 0x4e, which is correct.
This also gives a chance for a smart compiler to optimize the code using normal
integer overflow.
For example on AVR, the following C code:
uint8_t __attribute__ ((noinline)) test(uint8_t current_timer, uint8_t start_timer)
{
return TIMER_DIFF_8(current_timer, start_timer);
}
With the original code, it gets translated to the following list of instructions:
00004c6e <test>:
4c6e: 98 2f mov r25, r24
4c70: 86 1b sub r24, r22
4c72: 96 17 cp r25, r22
4c74: 08 f4 brcc .+2 ; 0x4c78 <test+0xa>
4c76: 81 50 subi r24, 0x01 ; 1
4c78: 08 95 ret
But with this commit, it gets translated to a single instruction:
00004c40 <test>:
4c40: 86 1b sub r24, r22
4c42: 08 95 ret
This unfortunately doesn't always work so nicely, for example the following C code:
int __attribute__ ((noinline)) test(uint8_t current_timer, uint8_t start_timer)
{
return TIMER_DIFF_8(current_timer, start_timer);
}
(Note: return type changed to int)
With the original code it gets translated to:
00004c6e <test>:
4c6e: 28 2f mov r18, r24
4c70: 30 e0 ldi r19, 0x00 ; 0
4c72: 46 2f mov r20, r22
4c74: 50 e0 ldi r21, 0x00 ; 0
4c76: 86 17 cp r24, r22
4c78: 20 f0 brcs .+8 ; 0x4c82 <test+0x14>
4c7a: c9 01 movw r24, r18
4c7c: 84 1b sub r24, r20
4c7e: 95 0b sbc r25, r21
4c80: 08 95 ret
4c82: c9 01 movw r24, r18
4c84: 84 1b sub r24, r20
4c86: 95 0b sbc r25, r21
4c88: 81 50 subi r24, 0x01 ; 1
4c8a: 9f 4f sbci r25, 0xFF ; 255
4c8c: 08 95 ret
Wth this commit it gets translated to:
00004c40 <test>:
4c40: 28 2f mov r18, r24
4c42: 30 e0 ldi r19, 0x00 ; 0
4c44: 46 2f mov r20, r22
4c46: 50 e0 ldi r21, 0x00 ; 0
4c48: 86 17 cp r24, r22
4c4a: 20 f0 brcs .+8 ; 0x4c54 <test+0x14>
4c4c: c9 01 movw r24, r18
4c4e: 84 1b sub r24, r20
4c50: 95 0b sbc r25, r21
4c52: 08 95 ret
4c54: c9 01 movw r24, r18
4c56: 84 1b sub r24, r20
4c58: 95 0b sbc r25, r21
4c5a: 93 95 inc r25
4c5c: 08 95 ret
There is not much performance improvement in this case, however at least with this
commit it functions correctly.
Note: The following commit will improve compiler output for the latter example.

TMK Keyboard Firmware Collection
This repository includes keyboard and converter firmware projects built with tmk_core keyboard library.
The latest source code is available here: http://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard
Updates
2017/01/11
Changed action code for ACTION_LAYER_MODS and this may cause incompatibility with existent shared URL and downloaded firmwware of keymap editor. If you are using the action you just have to redefine it on keymap editor. Existent keymap code should not suffer.
2016/06/26
Keymap framework was updated. fn_actions[] should be defined as action_t instead of uint16_t. And default code for keymap handling is now included in core you just need define uint8_t keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS] and action_t fn_actions[].
2016/06/22
Some projects were moved from converter and keyboard to orphan directory. Those might be removed in some future but you will be able to access them with orphans tag. See https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/173
2016/02/10
core: flabbergast's Chibios protocol was merged from https://github.com/flabbergast/tmk_keyboard/tree/chibios (@72b1668). See tmk_core/protocol/chibios/README.md. Chibios protocol supports Cortex-M such as STM32 and Kinetis.
2015/04/22
Core library was separated to other branch core. https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/tree/core
In Makefile you need to set TMK_DIR to indicate core library location now.
TMK_DIR = ../../tmk_core

Magic Commands
To see help press Magic + H.
Magic key combination is LShift + RShift in many projects, but Power key on ADB converter.
Magic keybind can be vary on each project, check config.h in project directory.
Following commands can be also executed with Magic + key. In console mode Magic keybind is not needed.

Boot Magic Configuration - Virtual DIP Switch
Boot Magic are executed during boot up time. Press Magic key below then plug in keyboard cable. Note that you must use keys of Layer 0 as Magic keys. These settings are stored in EEPROM so that retain your configure over power cycles.
To avoid configuring accidentally additive salt key KC_SPACE also needs to be pressed along with the following configuration keys. The salt key is configurable in config.h. See tmk_core/common/bootmagic.h.

Mechanical Locking support
This feature makes it possible for you to use mechanical locking switch for CapsLock, NumLock
or ScrollLock. To enable this feature define these macros in config.h and use KC_LCAP, KC_LN UM or KC_LSCR in keymap for locking key instead of normal KC_CAPS, KC_NLCK or KC_SLCK. Res
ync option tries to keep switch state consistent with keyboard LED state.
#define LOCKING_SUPPORT_ENABLE
#define LOCKING_RESYNC_ENABLE
Start Your Own Project

See these as examples.
Debugging
Use PJRC's hid_listen to see debug messages. You can use xprintf() to display debug info, see tmk_core/common/xprintf.h.
