2 SD Cards - SBC - stop after pause.g 3.5beta2

yes I know.
I have config etc at systems folder. Strange --> at jobs the SECOND sd card (Is it right that there are 2? ) is all this folder stuff. but it´s EDIT; config is empty, the firmware files are existing there.
I deleted it by inserting the sd card. Now it´s not booting anymore.
At Jobs folder its like that
SD Card 0: - jobs
SD Card 1: what you see on picture but almost empty config. just blank from duetpi

Phaedrux

Do you have a second SD card inserted in a PanelDue or something?

The actual files for the SBC Duet config is contained in the SBC file system.

The first SD card (0:/) is emulated by DCS and its default directory is /opt/dsf/sd

I would suggest maybe starting fresh with a clean SD card and a fresh download of DuetPi. I would also stay on 3.4.5 until everything is working, and then only updating to a beta release if you want to test something or need a specific fix.

@Phaedrux
No, just sbc with card.
Maybe

But the system is booting from sd card 0.
I also cant delete config.g from s cards jobs folder.

Sadly I have to use any of 3.5 versions cause of closed loop steppers. I have a double y axis and it was not sufficient to print before.
Now, everything is fine. In standalone mode I dont have this problem, so for important jobs I could go back to standalone mode, but I want to use some plug ins etc I need raspberry for.

I don´t have a fresh sd card here.. do you mean completly new?
They´re all quite old and I have lot´s of failed flashs with balena. Is that normal?

May I really start from beginning.

Can I also use M122 P104 S20 with sbc?
I had 0.1mb yesterday....

I would like to go ahead with investigation, If start from beginning is not helpful. I think, if you could answer some question then, I would be happy.

I would try doing a full format on one of the sandisk ultra SD cards using the SD card formatter tool. Then try imaging it again with etcher. Failed flashes are not normal, no.

I don't think so, but maybe.

Ah, I understand. Even so, it would be good to see how it behaves in 3.4.5 before updating to the 3.5 beta.

IndeX4D

@Phaedrux OK I format the cards and I´ll try it again to flash.
Should I take the newest duetpi version?

I´ll try 3.4.5. in a few min.

Edit: Also when Flash Failed, I have the problem with 2 Sd Cards and printer is running.

thanks

@Phaedrux

After format, flash is failed. Also with the other sd cards. But I can start duet and print with same problems.

It makes no sense to go ahead with testing when flashing failed, right?

Phaedrux

what is the error when the flash fails?

IndeX4D

This post is deleted!

@Phaedrux

Strange that I can still print with failed flashing, but my problem occured with a succesful flash.

Can you say what kind of error it is?

Phaedrux

I don't know. But it looks like it failed on verify near the end with a strange error. Maybe try re-installing etcher with a fresh download. Or try a different SD card flasher.

Did you do a full format of the SD card? That's a good way to force it to remap any bad sectors and make sure it's entirely writable.

As for what is happening with the second SD card showing, perhaps @chrishamm knows.

IndeX4D

@Phaedrux
Strangely flashing is failed earlier. Feels like the sd cards are more crazy with every step.
I'll buy new sd card, flash from different computer and use different raspberry.
I'll tell my experience later.

chrishamm

@IndeX4D In SBC mode do NOT touch any files on the second SD card partition (which is /boot on the SBC system or the first FAT partition). This partition contains boot files for the SBC Linux system and several files for standalone mode, so if you delete arbitrary files from there, your SBC will not start any more.

You can use the Raspberry Pi Imager if the other flash tools fail - just make sure you don't have read-only protection set on your SD adapter. M122 P104 is not supported in SBC mode, there are other Linux utilities for the same purpose.

IndeX4D

@chrishamm thanks for your answer

I´ll try everything again with completly new setup in a few minutes,

IndeX4D

Is it ok to run sbc with ethernet not only temporary?

Phaedrux

What do you mean?

IndeX4D

@Phaedrux
Boot was successful. Can't connect WiFi.
But I could use ethernet cable to connect with my router? Is this also fine?

Connected to WIFI!

New SD Card works fine.
SO, only to be sure. Now, I see DWC and have a terminal open to update. Should I upload my sy files in sys folder first, or should I update first?
thanks

Phaedrux

You can use wifi or ethernet on the SBC. That's up to you.

You can update the pi first and then upload your config files later through DWC.

So I don´t know whats wrong. Everything was working fine, but same problem happens. Press pause --> stuck
Interesting. First press pause was working fine with m226 in line in pause.g. But after resuming, it was printing slow till next zhop. then I executed pause again --> Stuck

I changed
-->
Computer to flash
NEW Sd card
Other raspberry
Software versions from 3.4.6 to 3.5 beta3.

The last thing I do is to try it with a also complete new set up for another printer.
