        Aww, you're making me blush!

        On topic, I've tried every combination of things to flash Duet 3 on Mac, but have not succeeded. I ended up resorting to a Windows 7 PC (which I do have, just don't like to admit it), where it flashed first time, no problem. I think the Mac version of Bossa is to blame; there's an issue already raised on Github about it, that I added to: https://github.com/shumatech/BOSSA/issues/106
        Please try flashing with Mac and post to that issue; perhaps if enough people do, they'll fix it!

            @droftarts I am running macOS Catalina and can not run bossa at all!

            This is the message I get.

            Is there a way to boot the firmware from a sd card?
            Or any other way to re-install a new firm ware version on my duet 2 wifi?

              Had the same problem with Mojave. You need to compile Bossa on your MAC.

                I think it’s the same problem, with the dependent dynamic library (libpng, libjpeg) missing from Bossa. Try the homebrew instructions, though it’s probably not going to flash a Duet 3. Try @MartinNYHC (thanks!) linked, fixed, compiled version, which I’m going to try at the next opportunity, as I’m still on Mojave. I guess it should work on Catalina too?

                  bossac from the commandline shouldn't need them libraries? might be worth at try if bulding from source isn't an option

                    @droftarts I installed HomeBrew and installed wxwidgets as described, and BOSSA worked after that. I am running Catalina 10.15.7.

                        @dizzwold You got that message when you installed brew, or when you ran brew install wxwidgets? 10.13 is quite old now, but I run 10.14 (also not supported any more) and it works fine on that, so could be just a warning.

                          Okay, I've managed to install wxwidgets, but the Bossac app won't open;

                          I've also followed the following and restarted in recovery mode, terminal, csrutil disable, reboot;
                          https://github.com/shumatech/BOSSA/issues/76
                          Still no success.

                          So I'll have to try the command line in terminal, but the page with the directions to do so only half explains how to do this on a mac;

                          Once I have the usbmodem port details, what do I type in terminal to flash the paneldue. It only continues this information for windows machines?

                          I'd be very grateful for some help with guys.

                            I've also just thought of something else.

                            Could the paneldue be flashed by my connected SBC, or another RPi?

                              @dizzwold yes, you can install Bossa on Raspberry Pi, though only command line works. There are more complete instructions for Mac and RPi command line here: https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/Updating_firmware#all-other-duet-boards

                              I usually copy 'bossac' into the same folder as the firmware I want to update, cd to that folder in terminal, and run it from there. The ‘port’ is the USB port for the PanelDue, usually something like /dev/tty.usbmodem14201. Otherwise the command should look similar to the Windows command. eg

                              ./bossac -e -w -v -b -R -p /dev/tty.usbmodem14201 PanelDueFirmware.bin

                              Where the flags are:
                              -e, --erase erase the entire flash starting at the offset
                              -w, --write write FILE to the flash; accelerated when combined with erase option
                              -v, --verify verify FILE matches flash contents
                              -p, --port=PORT use serial PORT to communicate to device; default behavior is to use first serial port
                              -b, --boot[=BOOL] boot from ROM if BOOL is 0; boot from FLASH if BOOL is 1 [default]; option is ignored on unsupported devices
                              -R, --reset reset CPU (if supported)

                              You can try using -U (searches for port) rather than specifying the port, but I usually find this doesn't work.

                                Hi Ian,

                                Thank you for your guidance.

                                So to copy bossac to the firmware file is;
                                $cp bossac /User/Downloads/PanelDueFirmware x x x.bin

                                I just tried the following and got the response after typing the above;
                                ./bossac -e -w -v -b -R -p /dev/tty.usbmodemFD131 PanelDueFirmware.bin
                                -bash: ./bossac: No such file or directory

                                /bossac -e -w -v -b -R -p /dev/tty.usbmodemFD131 PanelDueFirmware.bin
                                -bash: /bossac: No such file or directory

                                bossac -e -w -v -b -R -p /dev/tty.usbmodemFD131 PanelDueFirmware.bin
                                Erase flash

                                Done in 1.437 seconds

                                No such file or directory

                                Have I now killed the paneldue?

                                I'd pressed erase earlier.

                                Dizzwold.

                                  Thank you again for your help and input.

                                  I figured the above out in the end (or I hope I have).

                                  Here is my example from the terminal. Maybe this will help others.

                                  Write 218036 bytes to flash (426 pages)

                                  Set boot flash true
                                  Mrxxxx-imac:~ $ 
                                  

                                  Thank you for your help.

                                    @dizzwold Great! Glad you got it sorted.

                                    It looks like you didn't change directory to the /Users/Mrxxxx/Downloads/ folder to run the command. But it also looks like bossac was installed in the /usr/bin/ folder, where it will be automatically found. Running ./bossac ... just looks in the current folder for the command bossac. That and the firmware filename wasn't "PanelDueFirmware.bin", it was "PanelDueFirmware-logo-3.4.1-v3-7.0.bin"! But you got it sorted, so no worries.

                                    At least with the latest version of the PanelDue firmware on it, you can update from DWC now!

                                      Hi Ian,

                                      @droftarts said in Flashing firmware on Mac OS X:

                                      At least with the latest version of the PanelDue firmware on it, you can update from DWC now!

                                      Oh, okay I didn't know that, so that's a bonus.

                                      Again a big thank you for your guidance and help. It is very much appreciated.

                                      Dizzwold.

                                        I've also just thought of something else.

                                        Could the paneldue be flashed by my connected SBC, or another RPi?

                                        Version 3 PanelDue boards (which includes all 5i and 7i boards) can be flashed from RepRapFirmware 3.2 and later over the serial connection. You could also flash a PanelDue from a Pi over USB, by running Bossa on the Pi.

                                        Edit - I see that Ian already told you that.

                                          Thank you both for you input and help.

                                          Off-subject, is there a tool anywhere to print out the like of the RRF Config tool, Just to state what's on each io connector and on what pins?
                                          Just wondered.

                                            I'm not sure what you mean by this. Can you describe more what you're looking for?
