Upgrade to 3.5.3 failed

jay_s_uk

@marcel-kastler use a raspberry pi or windows machine to reprogram the firmware.
not much else i can suggest

marcel.kastler

@jay_s_uk OMG. I hope Duet3d is working on a fix for Mac users… Is it possible to ask Duet to reflash my board or exchange it for me?

jay_s_uk

@marcel-kastler one for @droftarts
where are you based?

marcel.kastler

@jay_s_uk Singapore

jay_s_uk

@marcel-kastler i'm not aware of them having a reseller etc in Singapore

marcel.kastler

@jay_s_uk I bought it directly from the UK.

marcel.kastler

Is there someone from Duet3d who has a solution for my problem, please?

Phaedrux

Do you have a Raspberry Pi?
Is your Mac Intel based?

marcel.kastler

@Phaedrux Hi, currently no free raspberry pi. I have one older Intel based Mac.

Phaedrux

You could try booting a live USB linux and running bossac from there, or borrowing/procuring a rpi and using a spare SD card to install a Pi desktop and flash from there.

@Phaedrux Good morning, I organised myself a raspberry pi, but ran into the next problem and need your guidance.
I receive a fatal error installing Bossa on the board. I reinstalled the OS to the raspberry, but I get the same error and cannot continue. No idea what to do now. Here the error:

@marcel-kastler Sorry you are having problems flashing your Duet board. Both myself and @Phaedrux are Mac users too, and we have tried many times to fix Bossa to work on Macs for the 6HC/6XD, but have yet to be successful. The workarounds described in this thread https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/11445/flashing-firmware-on-mac-os-x do work, but I understand if they don't work for you.

When this thread started, I thought I'd check the Linux instructions on the 'Bossa' tab here https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/Updating_firmware#all-other-duet-boards
I have also run into the same problem, in that I get the same "Package libwxgtk3.0-dev is not available" message. Apparently this version of the library has been abandoned, and removed from package repositories. It has been replaced by "libwxgtk3.2-dev", but if you install this, the 'make' command to compile Bossa doesn't work. We are currently searching for a workaround.

However, if you have a Raspberry Pi now, the easiest thing to do is to write the DuetPi image to the Raspberry Pi SD card, has a working version of Bossa on it. NOTE: this will overwrite whatever is currently on the SD card. Follow the first step here https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Machine_configuration/SBC_setup (make sure you DON'T use the 'DuetPi-lite' version, as this doesn't support a connected screen)
Then follow the 'Bossa' and 'Linux and DuetPi (after March 2022)' tabs here https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/Updating_firmware#all-other-duet-boards

The 6HC firmware is already on the DuetPi image, so you should be able to connect the 6HC to the Raspberry Pi, open a Terminal window and send:

bossac -e -w -v -b /opt/dsf/sd/firmware/Duet3Firmware_MB6HC.bin

@droftarts Hi Ian, yes, quite tedious to get the board back running. Just to confirm. Should I connect the Duet 6HC board via USB to the raspberry pi or should I use the flat ribbon cable, which was included with the duet board?

droftarts

@marcel-kastler via USB. And I feel your pain! I'm trying to get a Ubuntu live USB to flash on a 2013 MacBook Pro.
