Pressed the Erase Button - not booting
-
Currently the only program I know of that can upload to the Duet WiFi is SAM-BA. I tried the new version of bossac a few days ago but unfortunately it doesn't recognise the SAM4E.
Is the "Bossa port" visible in the USB port list?
It is finding the correct port on the mac, but when I try to flash it, it says it couldn't be found.
As far as SAM-BA, I installed it on bootcamp / windows 10. Arduino IS finding the port and I used that port to try to connect to the board via the gui with no luck. I am at my wits end on this. I cannot get a copy of win7 to access via vmware.
A friend suggested that the board might have direct access to the chip and could potentially directly burn it with an atmel bootloader?

SAM-BA does work under Windows 10. Does Windows 10 under boot camp show the Bossa Port in Device Manager?
-
Yes, Showing up as COM4 (Bossa Program Port). When I try connecting through the GUI I am getting "Error h_handle returned zero". FYI I am using sam-ba 2.16
-
Update: I think I got it to work. I thought the board was auto-discovered but it was not. Sam-ba returned SET so I am guessing that is the confirmation?
I pressed the reset button also, but now I can't connect to the board from rep host. I feel like I missed a step. Any idea why it is not getting picked up by USB, after flashing / resetting? Also, it is not showing up in the devices under usb.

Did you follow the full procedure listed at https://duet3d.com/wiki/Updating_main_firmware#Fallback_procedure_.233 ?
-
I followed it. A few times just to make sure that I didn't miss a step etc.
After flashing, I moved back to the Mac, and then back again back to bootcamp win10. Both are not seeing the device. I have disconnected it. Re-flashed it. I also checked to make sure the .bin was the correct file as I saw in other threads some were downloading a container file. Seems like I have done everything correctly, hoping that it is just something I am missing and not something wrong with the board!!??

One Note "On completion it will invite you to lock the region; press Yes."
I never was prompted to do this? Could this potentially be an issue?

I did the compare sent file with memory and getting the following error:
Sent file & Memory area content (address: 0x400000, size: 265068 bytes) do not match!
from the log

UPDATE! Somehow, when I was updating before, I didn't get an output or the sector lock. I went back and clicked on "compare file" I never did it because it said "if desired". The above error kept on coming so I looked up some detail on that. For whatever reason, I clicked on "send file"… it worked. Got the output, reset the board and it just connected to repetier. Was it necessary to click on compare file?

Alright, well I seem to have hit a wall. I can connect with Repetier but it is giving me "No start signal - forcing start". It then runs a couple GCODES and then get "communication timeout - reset send buffer block". Not really sure what to do next here. It seams that the firmware is updating. Since I pressed erase, do I have to add any other of the firmwares? The server or anything like that?
I did try uploading the firmware and the server .bin directly through sam-ba with no luck.

Hi.
I believe i had to run it as administrator and in compatibility mode with windows 7 to get it to work on my machine.

Thanks for that tip. This should really be in the docs. I'm not a regular Windows user so I had forgotten about compatibility mode.
