Duet wifi 1.04 restarting when uploading config files
-
Hello gentlemen!
I come here to ask for guidance for the same problem that happens in 2 new plates that I bought in China.
There are 2 duet wifi 1.04 that give error when uploading configuration or firmware.
I looked at several related posts here, tried the suggested responses and also did all the failback steps on the duet website.The problem is that when recording config.g or when trying to send the 'bin' files through the dwc, the boards restarts and no longer opens access through the dwc, unless I turn it off and on again. The error happens during the upload, which shows an extremely slow transmission rate and the card restarts before finishing.
The most interesting thing is that files like homex.g or homeall.g do not generate any errors and are loaded immediately.I tried to run M997 S0 and S1 via YAT (usb), did a hard reset a few times and used the bossa program to send versions 2.05, 2.05.1 and 3.0 (following all the steps carefully) and was not successful. The error is the same in all versions. In each attempt I was careful to send the binary of the wireless server and the correct version of the dwc.
I also connected another independent wifi router, next to the printer to rule out problems on my wifi network. I tried 3 different memory cards (fat32) too, anyway, nothing worked.
The printer works, moves, just doesn't upload. It's a new setup, never printed it.
The strangest thing is that I bought on aliexpress in different months, in different stores. He had saved them for a more opportune moment to mount.I have been trying for several days and without success so far.
Does anyone have any new ideas of what I can do?
Sorry for google translate, I'm from Brazil.
Thank you. -
what firmware version is reported by M115 over usb terminal?

Friend, thanks for the offer of help.
As soon as I posted here, I made the decision to install the older versions of the firmware and on the first attempt (2.04) the upload was back up and running.
After that I already sent 2.05.1 through the dwc itself and the upload is still normal. I think the problem has been solved.
I didn't even look at the version that came on the board, but I hadn't tried version 2.04 yet. I tried 2.05, 2.05.1 and 3.0, none of them worked. When I put 2.04 it worked beautifully! -
Make sure you're uploading the full zip file as is so that all required files are updated.

Bad news, unfortunately.
The error when trying to update or send gcodes to the card keeps happening. I also got a plate lock during printing, the machine froze and the hotend was stopped on top of the part.
I've made countless additional attempts to update the firmware, starting with version 2.02 up to version 3.1.1, no success. The card still does not accept the update. I tried the failback procedures, doing a hard reset and using the bossa software to send the firmware. Then I tried to send via YAT and DWC (M997 S0). All attempts were unsuccessful.
Anyway, I have an unused board for now. I would like to know what else I could try, maybe change some electronic component. -
Using Bossa should still be an option no matter what, so I think either the procedure hasn't been followed exactly or the USB cable isn't working.

What does Bossa identify the CPU as? Maybe China took some liberties in the BOM department?

I followed the process described on the site at least 30 times, I even managed to run another identical wifi duet. The firmware is sent by bossa and, soon after, when connecting with YAT, the version I sent by bossa appears. I really am not making a mistake in the procedure. The cable is the same cable that worked with the other board. It is new and working properly.
The big problem is that the sending of the M997 S1 by YAT, or the apploading of the zip file by the dwc causes the board to restart. Once I managed to send the fw 2.04, but when printing the board it reset and the printer froze. From this point on, I can't send any more firmware versions. Only the bossa procedure seems to work, the others do not. -

It appears only as a bossa port in the list of devices, and the program recognizes it normally.

So if bossa works to flash the firmware and M115 reports the correct firmware is flashed, that's something.
Reasons for M997 or uploading of the zip file not working could be that DWC is out of date or you're missing some IAP files in the /sys folder required.

I'm also not sure that bossa is doing its job properly. Right after uploading the firmware through the bossa, I try to use the yat with M997 S1 and the card restarts too.
The times I tried to print an object the machine froze in the middle of the job. I have no doubt that I bought a Chinese board. -

M997 S1 or S0?
S1 is for the wifi server firmware.
If you send M997 S0 after flashing with bossa it would try to flash the firmware version on the SD card, which could be an older one than you just flashed using bossa. You don't need to do both bossa and M997. I wonder if that's part of the problem here. You've flashed a recent version with bossa, but then send M997 which flashes an older version again.

Friend, sorry, I know exactly what I'm doing. I always download the complete zip, upload Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin using samba or bossa and then immediately put all the files on the card, so that the M997 0: 1: 2 can get everything on the memory card. The card is always formatted and updated with the same version that I used in bossa or samba, I am not making this basic mistake.

I have today 4 duet wifi and I already had 2 maestro. I know the correct procedure and have performed it dozens of times. Only with this defective card I have already performed failback 3 more than 30 times with no success. The board is paralyzed when trying to print or when trying to save any file via dwc. It freezes and only resumes if I turn everything off and on again.

Could @dc42 comment on anything? Do I still have any salvation or is this board doomed?
