Duet3D System won't turn on now

Jim46

Not really, the DWC isn't working. So I.'m dead in the water. The BOSSA is om y RPi, but all the files are empty. I tried to follow this procedure:
o update via USB (using a Raspberry Pi host):
Part1: Install bossa on the Pi with these commands:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y libwxgtk3.0-dev libreadline-dev
git clone https://github.com/shumatech/BOSSA
cd BOSSA
make
Part 2: Connect the Duet to the Pi.
Use a data capable USB cable from any port on the Pi to the Duet.
It is OK to power the Duet from only the USB (which implies the Pi has its own power)
It is OK to power the Duet with VIN
Do one or the other; do not power both ways.
If the Pi is part of a Duet 3 with ribbon cable, it is OK to leave this attached.
Part 3: Obtain firmware
If the Pi is part of a Duet 3, firmware will be in /opt/dsf/sd/sys/Duet3Firmware_MB6HC.bin

The Pi4 screen came back and said, bash /opt/dsf/sd/sys/Duet3Firmware_MB6HC.bin there is no such file or directory.
Looks like I need a simple and clear way to get past this stumbling block.

DWC isn't going to work until the Duet stops showing up as a BOSSA serial port; so until that is fixed it will not function as this implies the firmware that makes the Duet function has been erased/corrupted.

If you now have the Duet connected to your Pi (edit: with the USB cable!) can you please run the command lsusb from the SSH shell on the Pi and confirm it has a line that says something like Bus 001 Device 008: ID 03eb:6124 Atmel Corp. at91sam SAMBA bootloader the first part can vary a little.

If, and only if you do, we can proceed to flash the firmware from the Pi. (if you don't please copy paste or take a picture of what you do have)

You can also try to run this command, it could work, but I can't say for sure as I don't have a Duet3 to test it with, but it will not do any harm at least.

wget -q https://pastebin.com/raw/wekeLGhS -O - | tr -d '\r' | bash

It will download a script I started earlier to automatically detect and recover a Duet connected to a Pi. This is how it looked when recovering a Duet 2 Meastro, it should look similar, but obviously with different filenames for you.

Hi Bearer,
I've tried to run both suggestions. Here are the results. 1) is from PuTTy on my PC. 2) is from RPi4. The Duet is connected to the Pi with the ribbon cable and the USB cable from the Duet to the Pi. Hope this is useful:

IMG_5092 (3024 x 2268).jpg IMG_5091 (3024 x 2268).jpg

Lets go with the last setup; we should make that work. Try it again.

Jim46

Okay, will do now.. thank you. best way to try use PuTTy or on the Pi?

@Jim46 My bad, either should work (i mistook the first picture). Putty is fine if its easier, both run the commands on the Pi.

(But we're after running the wget blah blah... command again)

Jim46

Okay, I'll rerun the wget line on PuTTy now

Jim46

I ran it and got new results.. I wanted to copy and paste the results to this page, but it acted strange. How did you do the screen above with the scrolling function?
So, I ran wget again and got different results again. I'm post these below here:

what do you think of these?

@Jim46 said in Duet3D System won't turn on now:

what do you think of these?

I'm not sure, but I suspect the Duet3d guys will have some input now as we have a clear fault to address. Maybe you can try another USB cable while waiting for them to catch up to the development.

Jim46

above the Done in 3.467 seconds it said,
bash
bash Duet 3 6HC
erase flash

done in 3.4xxx seonds

Jim46

Okay I switched to a short USB cable

The line that said SAM-BA operation failed is what I was refering to, the firmware download failed for an unknown reason, and I suspect dc42 knows more than me about that bit. But as I said see if another USB cable gives a different output, and I'll change the flashing to include debugging output as well. If it still fails you'll have a file bossa.log in your home directory that may be of interest to the Duet3d guys.

Jim46

Bearer, thanks for sticking with me here. I've run lsusb on the Pi using a 12" cable between Pi and Duet instead of the 6' cable I used between my PC and the Duet. Any better info?

Hmm, lsusb shoud show you either
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 03eb:6124 Atmel Corp. at91sam SAMBA bootloader
or
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1d50:60ee OpenMoko, Inc.

if the cable is okay; the latter is what you'll see once the firmware is successfully updated, until then it will show as the first entry. None of the entries would suggest the cable isn't working, or at least lacking the data connection.

Jim46

Hi, I reran the wget on the Pi with the short USB cable mentioned above, Here is the result:
The lsusb looks a lot like yours. Yet the results above it say no device found...doesn't sound great!

@Jim46 said in Duet3D System won't turn on now:

above it say no device found...doesn't sound great!

will never be any difference between just lsusb and the output at the end of the script wget downloads and runs btw; they do the exact same thing.

it could be the cable you changed to is one of those charging only type of cables, which you can easily enough test by going back to the one that partially worked.

Jim46

I dug up a 3rd 12' USB cable and reran wget. Here are the results. Progress?

Jim46

Opps 12" cable number 3

@Jim46 I have little knowledge of the Raspberry Pi, but when it comes to flashing firmware to Duets... I wrote the documentation! The original issue seems to have been a corrupted firmware, and now you're trying to run a firmware update with Bossa on the Pi. But have you put a jumper on the ERASE pins (you know, the ones I thought you'd left a jumper on before), powered up the Duet for 5 seconds, powered down, removed the jumper, then tried updating the firmware? You may need to do this a few times; despite showing a Bossa port, the firmware sometimes seems quite tenacious. Also, make sure your Bossa version is 1.9.1, or the Duet 3 processor won't be supported.

Alternatively, switch to a Windows desktop and run Bossa from there. Always works first time for me on Windows. The Mac version of Bossa is broken for Duet 3, unfortunately.
