Duet 3 Mini 5+ VIN under-voltage issues in SBC mode

PaulHew

Morning. After loading the firmware last night, I was greeted by this this morning. Machine was idle.

E-Stopped the board and has stopped the VSSA faults.

Have some tuning to do this morning, so will report back.

Regards,
Paul.

@paulhew, please run M115 to confirm the firmware build date/time.

@paulhew Just had these pop up

They are new!

edit: and it did all of the movements and heating but nothing on the bed.
No blockage. Going back to 3.2.2

edit.edit: was I supposed to upgrade the 1LC firmware also?

Downloaded 3.2.2, upload to board, now I get this.

Yes, if you run 3.3 on the main board then you need 3.3 on expansion and tool boards too.

@paulhew, thanks for your reports.

I believe I have identified an issue with the DMA controller in the microcontroller, which means that although we are able to detect the onset of the VSSA fault and associated high VIN reading, our attempts to recover from it fail. I have raised a support case with Microchip in the hope that they can provide a workaround, and I await a response.

@paulhew We've been hunting this bug down for the last couple of weeks. The VSSA errors are part of the issue; you'll probably see that the readings for VIN, Z probe and thermistors are all wildly out, too. What's happening is that the DMA channels that hold the values for temperatures, VIN, VSSA, VREF and probe get moved around, so the value for temp0 reads the value of VIN, temp1 reads the probe, temp2 reads temp0, VREF reads temp1, VSSA reads temp2, VIN reads VREF, and probe read VSSA. Naturally, the numbers are incorrect, and trigger the errors.

Unfortunately, this looks to be an error in the microcontroller itself, which is why @dc42 is contacting Microchip for help. For now, we don't need any more error reports.

As far as we are aware, this problem only affects the Duet in SBC mode; if you run in standalone, it shouldn't be an issue.

If anyone is running in SBC mode and NOT getting these issues, it would be useful to know your setup: firmware version, Duet 3 Mini 5+ board version, SBC version. I get these errors with a very basic test bench setup, and when the board is idle: Duet 3 Mini 5+ v0.5 on firmware 3.3beta (all of them), 12V PSU, Raspberry Pi 4B (official RPi 5V PSU), DWC 3.2.2, 5x motors connected, resistors in place of thermistors (just to give a constant reading).

@droftarts Ian, I am aware DC has been working hard on resolving this issue, I try and be as informative as possible, hence the screenshots etc.

I think I have found a new error with the latest firmware.
I have M557 defined in my config.g.
Using the latest FW, if I use Dashboard - Compensation & Calibration - Define area, it is blank.
If I set it it loses the info If I check again.

My build is Meanwell 24v 300w PSU Duet 3 Mini 5 +, 1LC toolboard, BLT, 2 fans, 50w heater, slice thermistor on1LC.
1 small strip of LEDs running out of OUT1 on Mini, PanelDue.

I need to get back to 3.2.2 but am struggling to find info on how to go back.

droftarts

@paulhew I was just explaining where the problem is, as we understand it now. As such, the screenshots and even M122 reports don't tell us anything extra; they show the result, but not the cause! We've been using M122 P1007 [memory address] to peek at values in memory to work out what's happening, which is not very user-friendly; it crashes the Duet if you get it wrong, then you have to wait for the error to happen again!

The DWC issue you are seeing because you're using DWC 3.2.2 with RRF 3.3beta. You need the new DWC that recognises the new OM values in 3.3beta. At the moment, an updated DWC has not yet been released for SBC mode. There is a DWC 3.3beta for standalone, though.

I'll reply on your other thread about downgrading.

Edit: After about 36 hours of uptime, I got the VSSA fault error too..

~~I have yet to experience issues on my idling machine. I'll probably try a print tonight and see how it goes.~~

When I initially installed the upgrade, my extruder thermistor (which is on toolboard TEMP0) was reporting something absurd like 2000C, but turning my 24v PSU off and then on again fixed that. ~~It's been sitting idle with no errors for the last 22 hours.~~

Setup: 120v wall power, 24V PSU, Raspberry Pi 3B+ with the Canakit PSU, Duet Web Control 3.3.0-b2, 5x motors, live thermistors for bed/hotend. Bed is a 12v bed connected via a MOSFET board, and it's connected to one of the GPIOs rather than the big high-current bed connector. M115 as follows from up-thread:

If any of you wishes to collect data in order to assist me in resolving this, please install the firmware at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mj25l7gppbui5zl/AABLPxvI8HLr1gCzqLVlKCuea?dl=0 and either do an air print or leave the machine idle. If/when it fails:

Report the symptoms;
Run M122 and post the report here.

This firmware includes additional debugging nino in the M122 report.

M-Pixel

In the meantime, it would be fantastic if it could pause the print instead of marking it as completed after one of these events, so that it's easier to resume. Or at the very least, it would be useful if it didn't cause the axes to lose their "homed" status.

@fletcher, thanks for that. From the report, I presume the fault was a spurious VIN undervoltage report, not a VSSA error.

Now I have a better idea of what causes the spurious undervoltage reports. I still need a M122 report from this firmware following a VSSA fault report.

@dc42 My machine is happy to oblige!

Hope this helps @dc42

@Fletcher and @paulhew, thanks! Those M122 reports have helped me to pin down the issue some more.

I have put a new firmware build at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xplbsekbnmmmgtv/AADbXUoNb99JghhlSbzV4Njya?dl=0. When you can, please switch to that one and report any further errors, with M122 reports again.

FYI you don’t need to be printing to generate these errors; my 5+ and SBC has generated 7 errors in the last 24hrs sitting idle! So save your filament and frustration if you’re helping out with this. Thanks!
