      This may be premature since Bookworm was just released last week, but...

      DWC is breaking when running Pi OS Bookworm and 3.5-rc.1 in SBC mode

      Testbed setup:
      Duet 6HC v1.01A (new)
      Pi 4 Model B, 4GB (new)

      Clean install of Pi OS Bookworm (Debian 12) from 10/10/2023
      Installed stable release of 3.4.6 DSF/DWC/RepRap
      Result: DWC works, everything works as it did with Pi OS Bullseye (Debian 11)

      Switched to unstable packages as I normally have in the past per:

      https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Machine_configuration/DSF_RPi

      Result: After all updates to 3.5.0-rc1, cannot connect to DWC via web browser. Looks like it's in a constant retry loop...

      If I revert back to 3.4.6 (per same document), DWC starts working again.

      Screen grab of 3.5-rc1:
      8a52e22e-4d37-4080-baca-6c90d644a717-image.png

      Here's the log after an update to 3.5-rc1:

      I see the SPI buffer message 4096 configured vs 8192 required
      but I have done:

      echo "options spidev bufsiz=8192" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/spidev.conf

      and I have verified that the file is in /etc/modprobe.d and contains the proper text.

      Here's the log after I revert to 3.4.6. You can see the transition from 3.5-rc1 to the first try of 3.4.6:

      I see the same SPI buffer warning but DWC is working.

      We want to go to Python 3.11 ASAP so that's why we jumped on Bookworm so quickly. We will try to patiently await suggestions/a fix... 😉

        @davidjryan Error 90 means "message too long" so you need to figure out why the SPI buffer size isn't adjusted. Even if DSF 3.4.6 starts, you're very likely to get communication problems if that 4096-byte boundary is exceeded.

          Thanks for verifying that that was a legitimate error/concern.
          By default, does 3.5-rc.1 have large SPI transmissions right off the get-go but 3.4.6 does not? Perhaps that's why 3.4.6 was connecting but not faulting out like 3.5-rc.1?

          After further testing:
          For Bullseye (Deb 11), this works:

          echo "options spidev bufsiz=8192" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/spidev.conf

          For Bookworm (Deb 12), it does not.

          Instead, I had to add:

          spidev.bufsiz=8192

          to the end of

          /boot/cmdline.txt

          After a reboot, when I:

          cat /sys/module/spidev/parameters/bufsiz

          I get 8192 and DWC now connects to the 6HC with 3.5-rc.1 in SBC mode.

          I know we are probably an early adopter of Bookworm on the Pi w/Duet SBC so I'll report out anything else I run into. We'll be exercising our system heavily over the next few weeks.
