1.21 is a bit too old to go directly to RRF3.

You'll have to decide if you want to try doing incremental updates to get to RRF3 or just use USB flash to load the latest firmware and then manually updating the DWC files on the SD card.

If you want to do the incremental way, follow this post: https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/18962/firmware-not-updating/4?_=1623121773997

If you want to do the USB flash method, follow this: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Installing_and_Updating_Firmware#Section_All_other_Duet_boards

@phaedrux
direct USB firmware flash seams easier
do i need to update Wifi?

Phaedrux

@alexus Yes the wifi server will also need to be updated. You can do that after flashing. Place the wifi server bin in the /sys folder and then use USB terminal to send M997 S1 to flash the wifi.

Don't forget the DWC files in the /www folder.

where do i get latest ESP firmware? and which version is latest ? on that update page it its confusing (at least for me

It will depend on which firmware version you are going to use, but it's usually included with the combined zip file for the particular firmware release. So for 3.2.2 it's part of that release as wifiserver.bin version 1.25.
