The keyboard works out of the box with VIA using the via-x7.json file. The QMK files in this repository were provided by the vendor, and you can use them to customize the keyboard via QMK.
You can also use VIAL to easily reflash and configure the keyboard without recompiling the firmware, while taking advantage of features like tap dance, chords, auto-shift, and other QMK functionalities.
To enter bootloader mode and flash new firmware, you can bind the RESET button via the VIA GUI.
I followed the steps in this video, and everything worked fine for me. I maintain a vial subdirectory for vial-qmk.
