Duet3 Mini 3.2 firmware update fails, maybe?

Phaedrux · 7 Jan 2021, 22:30

Also, I've just realized that the mini5+ firmware uf2 from the zip file is actually for 3.3 alpha. that's why it was different. Not sure yet if that was intentional or if it matters, but I just uploaded the full zip just now and that's the version it reports.

@Phaedrux Do I need a different UF2 file?

@fcwilt I don't think so. But I'm not 100% sure. I went through the same process the other night when 3.2 final came out. I think I was on beta 4 though, and then RC1 and RC2 before going to 3.2 final.

I don't have any of the files from the betas, just RC1, 2 and 3.2 final. The beta releases have all been archived.

What files do you have in your /sys folder now?

The IAP files did go through a renaming from SDiap to SDiap32, so you maybe are missing SDiap? I know they can be renamed in certain cases because there were no changes other than renaming, but I'm not certain of the versions for that.

~~I have to run for a bit, but will check back later.~~

Can you try including this IAP file from RC1 and try again?

Duet3_SDiap32_Mini5plus.bin

So with this bin file are you able to update with the uf2 from the 3.2 final release?

fcwilt · 7 Jan 2021, 22:50

If I try to use the SDiap32 version of the file WITHOUT the SDapi version I get that error message about the missing file.

I renamed the file from SDiap32 to SDiap and tried again.

Now I have 3.3. alpha being reported.

This is fun.

So now if you upload the full zip file does it update correctly? At that point it should be good to go for future releases.

Things always get a bit tricky with beta releases and shifting IAP files.

Do you mean go from 3.3 ALPHA back to 3.2 RELEASE?

I don't know - I will try.

@Phaedrux

No change. M115:

FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 Mini 5+ FIRMWARE_VERSION: 3.3alpha ELECTRONICS: Duet 3 Mini5plus WiFi FIRMWARE_DATE: 2021-01-05

Is it the IAP BIN file or the UF2 file that has the version information?

I just meant upload the whole zip to see if it works complain or change anything. I would expect it to stay at 3.3alpha

No it worked without error but stayed at 3.3 alpha.

Anyway to get back to 3.2 release?

I think the 3.3 alpha should be fine, but this is the loose firmware file included in the release for 3.2.

I renamed the file from SDiap32 to SDiap and tried again.

They're given unique names so they can co-exist; is the version that goes with the currently running firmware that is requested when up/down-grading.

If you go back and forth, you might need more than one version, which is only possible if they have different names.

SDiap

the version that comes with the original files does not work correctly for upgrading.

see my linked post. dc42 posted a new version that works for normal upgrading.

not sure how that invalidates saying "don't rename them" and "keep the previous version if going back and forth"

Veti · 8 Jan 2021, 17:14

it does not invalidate them. i just said that the SDiap that came with the duet does not work correctly, so there is no point in keeping that.

The alpha 3.3 uf2 file was unintentionally included. It's now been replaced by the 3.2 release.

Just so you know I now have my board running 3.2 using the BIN file and the UF2 file that were mentioned in this topic.

One last question. There are two .GZ files in the SYS directory of the SD card as provided with the board. What are they?

Thanks much.

I believe they are part of DWC? Not 100% sure. But based on their names they seem web related. manifest, robots.
