Did you try re-formatting the SD card when plugged into you computer?
Kinda doesn't help without a complete image to replace it with
What do you mean by a complete image?
When running without a SBC there is very little on the SD card - four folders with a handful of files.
I can give you what I have for a Duet3 MB6HC.

@fcwilt, at the moment I am trying to set up in the standalone mode.
I am looking for an image of the SD card that is shipped with the board so I can make a new SD card.
Thanks for the offer of the files but I am looking for the complete image - there are two partitions on the card with way more than a handful of files in each partition. -

Config Files D3HC via LAN.zip.txt
It shows the folder stucture that is needed but a couple of the files seem a bit odd.
The config.g file should work for testing.
I may have the original SD card that came - I will need to look for it.

@fcwilt, thank you but a straight copy of the files is highly unlikely to do the trick - remember there are two partitions on the card.
As I said before, I have officially given up on trying to somehow getting this going. The next step must be a replacement SD card, either from Filistruder, my supplier, or a disk image that I can burn to a new sd card. Hence the tagging of DC42 in a previous post so he can help me out with that.
Copying files might work or it might not. It would not be conclusive and even if it does work I can't expect all functions to work as I could with a full copy of the original sd card. -

I've setup several Duets starting with a blank SD and never needed to create multiple partitions BUT while I have an SBC I ended up not using it. I've got an SD card labeled "RASPBIAN" which I believe was for the SBC.

Additional input: I connected via terminal. The sd card is found however a speed test doing an
M122 P104 S 50 showed a write speed of 0.51 Mbytes/sec which of course is not anywhere near the expected speedA plain M122 shows "SD card 0 detected, interface speed: 25.0 Mbytes/sec.
It also says SD card longest read time 3.2 ms, write time 208.9 msI also see a line that says "Slowest loop: 1924.12 ms; fastest: 0.05ms" .... which seems rather odd
Those are the only lines that seem kinda odd but if there is anything else I can supply I am happy to oblige.

Well folks, it is official, I should not be let loose on a Duet printer.
I tried another SD card, a known good card, which gave me the exact same results. This card had good test results with M122. I could ping the machine without any issues but no dice on the web page.
After a lot of head scratching, it finally dawned on me - by default I restrict what can and can not happen on my web browser. It is fairly restricted and a lot of sites do not load without me specifically telling NoScript to allow the web site. All my in-use ip addresses are white listed. Well I have never used that particular IP address so it was still being locked down
Once white listed, it loaded absolutely fine ..... GRRRRRRR ...... That's probably 6 hrs I will never get back again!So, it boils down to operator problems although I still consider the SD card defective.
As mentioned, the card contains two partitions, one that is used if the printer is direct connected and one partition that is used if the printer is connected via a pi.I would like to repeat my request for a link to an image file that I can use to recreate the original SD card as it is shipped. I would be using Balena Etcher to burn the card.
For completeness, here is the output of M122:

So you need to use an SBC right now?
Did you see this:

@fcwilt, no I am configured as a direct connected board and not using the pi for the moment. Less to screw up

Well then you don't need to worry about creating an SD card with the two partitions.
For "standalone" SD mode you only need a FAT32 formatted SD card and the files mentioned here:

While I have gone through this wiki several times, I did not consider the possibility of that file having both partions on it. I downloaded the img file and it looks like I might have screwed up that one as well. I will give a try and write the image file later today and see what I get.
Thanks !!

I want the card to cover both configurations - the same way as it is shipped originally

Hmm...
I just loaded the SD card I used with the SBC and it only has one partition on it.
Can you even use one card in both modes?
If so what would be the benefit?
Thanks.
Frederick
-
@fcwilt, yes, the currently shipping SD card can be used for both modes, stand-alone and SBC mode.
Remember I mentioned to you that a windows computer might not show you both partitions .....The benefit of course is simplicity, you don't need to be concerned which mode the card is for. If you run stand-alone and a pi falls into your lap, you can just connect it, pull the SD card out of the Duet and stick it into the pi. I am not sure if the customization of one mode is also carried over to the other mode so while one card may be used for both modes, you might have to re-do the configuration when you switch modes.
-
Well there must be a way to create both partitions and place the needed file in each partition.
I downloaded the Raspberry Pi Imager so will get to see what that allows.

@fcwilt, as it turns out, the image file you pointed out to me does indeed provide for both partitions. Just burned it, installed it and it pops right up like one would expect it to.
Perfect!!!Thanks again!
