@chrishamm I have just been using the "erase" button supplied on the panel.
-
@jay_s_uk this is what Modix sent me to push to the Duet.
-
The firmware for the Panel and for the Duet are completely separate.
Here are the steps for updating the Duet via USB.

@phaedrux I have done that one already. Once I upload it and hit reset I lose connectivity to the computer as well as a blank white screen. I have run this process many, many times to see if there is something I have done wrong. After the firmware is in and I reset/power cycle the board I cannot do anything else with it as no matter what I do it will not connect via usb. Nor is there anything on the screen. I'll do a screen cap tomorrow of exactly what I am doing an maybe someone can help point out what I am doing wrong here. Thanks all for your input.

After flashing the Duet with Bossa you can do a verify of the firmware, does that read it back correctly?
-
@phaedrux yes it does. Each time everything checks out. It writes clean and it verifies and then I reset it and it drops all connection. I have tried over and over with different usb cords, different ports, different computers and i get the same results out of the board.... White screen with no connection unless I erase and reset back to bossa port.

How are you expecting to connect to it? After it resets after the flash you should probably be able to see it via YAT.
Are you using this file?

@pgantt don't use the reset button. Just unplug it
-
@jay_s_uk I have done that as well with the same results.
-
@phaedrux here is a video of me running the process. If you have a second to look over I would really like to know if something is wrong with my process. It's about 5 minutes. Thanks to all.

You're trying to flash the Duet firmware onto the PanelDue.
As I said before: The firmware for the Panel and for the Duet are completely separate.
The steps to flash them with bossa are similar, but you need to connect to either device and use the correct file for the device.
These are the instructions for flashing the Duet board

You use this file: https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/2.05.1/Duet2CombinedFirmware.binYou must connect the USB cable to the Duet board itself.
These are the instructions for flashing the paneldue:

You would need to choose the right file for your particular version of paneldue: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/PanelDue_Firmware_update#Section_Find_the_correct_fileDoes that make sense?

@phaedrux Thanks for your patience..... Yes I see now. I was making a wrong assumption about the panel due pushing the firmware to the board.... Let me try all of that now that you have knocked some sense into me!
-
You're on the right track now. It's a steep learning curve. You'll get there, we're here to help.

@phaedrux Success!!! Firmware in with updates. Thanks for being patient and for all the help. Issue resolved!
