Updating Duet3 Firmware via apt

crispus

Hi All,

First time Duet user. Just powered up my Duet 3 which is connected to a RPI3B+. As instructed here I have run an update using:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

However, when I do M115 I still see old firmware:

FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC FIRMWARE_VERSION: 3.01-RC9 ELECTRONICS: Duet 3 MB6HC v1.01 or later FIRMWARE_DATE: 2020-04-21b1

Am I missing something?

@crispus you'll need to either run in standalone mode or flash the board via bossa. IIRC, that version can't be updated via apt

Phaedrux

You can try this method as well to get back on track.

@jay_s_uk @Phaedrux - Thanks for taking time to reply. I followed the process using BOSSA and it seems to have worked.

FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC FIRMWARE_VERSION: 3.1.1 ELECTRONICS: Duet 3 MB6HC v1.01 or later FIRMWARE_DATE: 2020-05-19b2

Cheers,
