@ChrisP said in RepRapFirmware 3.01-RC6 released:

Running a Duet3 with an RPi4 as an SBC. Updated using apt and have ended up with loads of issues. The first was the "drive is unmounted" error everywhere and a screen the same as teh one in the post above which I could only get rid of by power cycling.

Glad to hear i'm not alone.
I don't know what the issue is. I did a back up of the pi sd a while ago and even when I revert to that and then update It has the same issues. Nothing works because the DWC says "drive is unmounted".

ChrisP

@chas2706 Did power cycling fix that issue for you? It did for me. MInd you, even when that works, the printer is still unusable.

A colleague of mine is just upgrading an E3D toolchanger to the same Duet3 + SBC setup, has just updated before we saw all this and is now in the same situation. (edit: post below)

@tobias_munich I got the same behaviour after updating.

@ChrisP said in RepRapFirmware 3.01-RC6 released:

drive is unmounted

by the sound of it its unable to load the config.g so that could explain why nothing else works.

could you also try doing ls -l /opt/dsf/sdand ls -l /opt/dsf/sd/sys in an ssh shell to see what permissions you have?

edit: or did the power cycle solve it?

tobias_munich

@elliott-griffiths it’s frustrating.
After setting it up from scratch.
Means... downloading the current image, and setup a new sd...
still issues.
Stand-alone with SD, no problem.

But the SBC version.
After starting with the new image the sbc connects to the duet. So far so good.
DWC is able to acces the virtual SD with all folders.
But after uploading the config.g to the sys folder and rebooting,
the system has problems to access to the virtual SD with a lot of error messages .
It’s not able to read and access any folder of the virtual SD

It’s so frustrating

Thanks for picking this up, but that is not the porblem at this point. I've only seen that error once immediately after update and after power cycle, that hasn't happened again.

Everything now seems to load and I can see all the files on the interface, however, it's still not booting properly. After a reinstall, I'm still getting a persistant "busy" state and no the tools show the bed, but not the extruder, temperature chart still sows both. Pressing emergency stop now seems to work, but then nothing is listed in the tools and it still sits being "Busy" - see image.

care to share the file and/or try a empty file?

tobias_munich

@bearer I tried a lot of ways ....
And after all the tests I made it seems it’s a problem with the virtual SD.

And after all the tests I made it seems it’s a problem with the virtual SD.

no doubt about it, just curious if its the content or presence of the config.g file that makes a difference; as it seemed it did make a difference from your earlier post.

I'd also be interested to see what (if any) errors you have in the log for the DCS service:

sudo journalctl -u duetcontrolserver.service

Because I get a massive log full of this repeating. So I guress it's to do with my laser filament monitor in this case.

Edit: and sure enough, commenting out my filament monitor in the config.g and everything (except for the filament monitor) is working again. Think this is one for @chrishamm .

How can you say that power cycling fixed it for you if the printer is still unusable?

ChrisP

@chas2706
Because power cycling fixed that issue (ie. the drive mounted and read file and config etc), but after rebooting it hit a different bug (mentioned in my post above) that still rendered the printer unusable at that point.

chas2706

Ok that's an improvement but for me power cycling, resetting or re-installing made no difference.
I've had to revert to RRF3.01RC3 but now running on the wrong version of DWC because there is no indication anywhere how we SBC users can download a specific version of DWC.

chas2706

This has learnt me a big lesson. Always, always, always make a current back up before you download a "new release"! My latest back up was from a few previous releases.

edit: NOPE, that was not a good idea.

maybe this works better, specifying all the packages to fulfill dependencies for duetsoftwareframework=1.2.5.0

grep duet3d -r /etc/apt | grep unstable && sudo apt install  duetcontrolserver=1.2.5.0 duetsd=1.0.5 duettools=1.2.5.0 duetwebserver=1.2.3.1 duetwebcontrol=2.0.7-1 reprapfirmware=1.2.5.0-1 duetruntime=1.2.5.0 duetsoftwareframework=1.2.5.0 || echo Please swtich to unstable list.

edit changed to fail if not on unstable list.

Also according to chrishamm switching to instead of adding the unstable list may be the way to go

#comment out stable list
sudo sed -i '/ stable/s/^/#/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/duet3d.list
#add unstable list
echo "deb https://pkg.duet3d.com/ unstable armv7" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/duet3d-unstable.list

As @bearer pointa out, rolling back isn't tricky. Tbh, theres a reason that it's a beta firmware, so it should be obvious that backups are wise when trying a new "upgrade".

I'd still be interested to know the output of you logs for the DCS service.

the start of the log is probably more relevant than the end of it.

I understand the meaning of beta firmware but if you have Duet3 with SBC and dare to "upgrade" there is no guarantee that if upon failure an older backup will work.
I now have this problem running RRF3.01.RC3 from a backup:

So now I will be spending numerous hours starting afresh!

@chas2706 said in RepRapFirmware 3.01-RC6 released:

that would imply your backup isn't covering your needs. simply shutting down the pi and cloning or imaging the SD card would take care of all but the RRF firmware on the Duet which can be flashed after restoring an old SD card. (caveat if they changed the iap binary)

ChrisP

@chas2706
You really shouldn't need to start afresh. Even if you do, as long as you have a copy of the sys & macros folders it should take longer to burn a new raspbian image than it does to get that fresh Linux install to a working printer. I can't remember it taking more than about 15 mins following the guide on the wiki.

You'll be back up and running in no time
