DWC 3.4 reverts to 3.2.2 after shutdown

man_mar

As per title, I have this weird issue that I can't figure out.

I'm in SBC mode, I upgraded the firmware to the 3.4 release, but I noticed the DWC was still 3.2.2.

So I proceeded to upgrade the DWC manually uploading the .zip package using the "Upload System Files" in "System". All went smooth, I can see it upgraded to DWC 3.4.

I do some stuff, then shutdown the machine, turn it back on and I noticed the old UI. I check and it's DWC 3.2.2. What the hell?! I tried several times the same procedure, but no luck.

I then tried to upgrade using PuTTY, sudo apt-upgrade/update, it does some stuff, but no DWC 3.4.

I tried also manually deleting the "www" folder in the boot partition of the SD card and replacing it with the 3.4 version: at first I get the DWC3.4, but at the next start up I get DWC3.2.2.

As last resort I tried formatting the SD card and did a fresh installation with the latest .img, but I still have DWC 3.2.2.

The only way I'm able to get DWC3.4 is to upload the "DuetWebControl-SD.zip" every time I turn on the machine. But then again if I turn off the machine and turn on I get DWC 3.2.2.

TBH it wouldn't be that big of a deal if the "Height Map" didn't tell me "Invalid Height Map", and it's a bit annoying

So...I'm sure I missed something but I can't figure out what.

@man_mar connect to the SBC via SSH and send sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
DO NOT update RRF manually using the interface when in SBC mode

well...this is driving me insane.

I took the microSD card, formatted, and followed the instructions I found here ( https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Machine_configuration/SBC_setup ).

Connected via PuTTY and then used sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade, process went apparently well. When I use my browser and I go to "duet3.local", it connects to the DWC but I can already see that it's the old 3.2.2.

At least the firmware is updated:
Board: Duet 3 MB6HC (MB6HC)
DSF Version: 3.4.1
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC 3.4.1 (2022-06-01)

But the DWC:
Duet Web Control 3.2.2

How the hell am I supposed to update the DWC in order for it to NOT go back to the 3.2.2?

@man_mar then it sounds like a caching issue with your browser.
clear the cache and try connecting again. DSF is the right version

I'll be damned. I tried with an "new incognito window" and it works. So it's obviously a caching issue, as you predicted.

Thank you very much for the help.
