Upgrade to 3.5.3 failed

@jay_s_uk thanks for your swift response. I have only MacOS and it seems that this does not work with 6HC. Is there any other solution? Why did the firmware update fail in the first place. Did I do something wrong?
-
@marcel-kastler there have been the odd report of the 6HC not updating correctly so its not something you've done.
looks like theres no resolution for not being able to flash a 6HC with macos without using a VM. see here https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/11445/flashing-firmware-on-mac-os-x
-
@jay_s_uk thanks again. It looks very complicated with MacOS and not sure if it works at all. Is there no other solution? I do not want to spend hours to get my printer up and running. I always use the latest stable firmware to avoid trouble… which did not work this time.
-
@marcel-kastler use a raspberry pi or windows machine to reprogram the firmware.
not much else i can suggest -
@jay_s_uk OMG. I hope Duet3d is working on a fix for Mac users… Is it possible to ask Duet to reflash my board or exchange it for me?
-
@marcel-kastler one for @droftarts
where are you based? -
@jay_s_uk Singapore
-
@marcel-kastler i'm not aware of them having a reseller etc in Singapore
-
@jay_s_uk I bought it directly from the UK.
-
Is there someone from Duet3d who has a solution for my problem, please?
-
Do you have a Raspberry Pi?
Is your Mac Intel based? -
@Phaedrux Hi, currently no free raspberry pi. I have one older Intel based Mac.
-
You could try booting a live USB linux and running bossac from there, or borrowing/procuring a rpi and using a spare SD card to install a Pi desktop and flash from there.

@Phaedrux Good morning, I organised myself a raspberry pi, but ran into the next problem and need your guidance.
I receive a fatal error installing Bossa on the board. I reinstalled the OS to the raspberry, but I get the same error and cannot continue. No idea what to do now. Here the error:marcel@voron2:~ $ sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y libwxgtk3.0-dev libreadline-dev

@marcel-kastler Sorry you are having problems flashing your Duet board. Both myself and @Phaedrux are Mac users too, and we have tried many times to fix Bossa to work on Macs for the 6HC/6XD, but have yet to be successful. The workarounds described in this thread https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/11445/flashing-firmware-on-mac-os-x do work, but I understand if they don't work for you.
When this thread started, I thought I'd check the Linux instructions on the 'Bossa' tab here https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/Updating_firmware#all-other-duet-boards
I have also run into the same problem, in that I get the same "Package libwxgtk3.0-dev is not available" message. Apparently this version of the library has been abandoned, and removed from package repositories. It has been replaced by "libwxgtk3.2-dev", but if you install this, the 'make' command to compile Bossa doesn't work. We are currently searching for a workaround.However, if you have a Raspberry Pi now, the easiest thing to do is to write the DuetPi image to the Raspberry Pi SD card, has a working version of Bossa on it. NOTE: this will overwrite whatever is currently on the SD card. Follow the first step here https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Machine_configuration/SBC_setup (make sure you DON'T use the 'DuetPi-lite' version, as this doesn't support a connected screen)
Then follow the 'Bossa' and 'Linux and DuetPi (after March 2022)' tabs here https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/Updating_firmware#all-other-duet-boardsThe 6HC firmware is already on the DuetPi image, so you should be able to connect the 6HC to the Raspberry Pi, open a Terminal window and send:

@droftarts Hi Ian, yes, quite tedious to get the board back running. Just to confirm. Should I connect the Duet 6HC board via USB to the raspberry pi or should I use the flat ribbon cable, which was included with the duet board?
-
@marcel-kastler via USB. And I feel your pain! I'm trying to get a Ubuntu live USB to flash on a 2013 MacBook Pro.

@marcel-kastler I've rewritten the Bossa instructions here, and have tested it all: https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/Updating_firmware#all-other-duet-boards
If you have a Raspberry Pi, with the standard Raspberry Pi OS on it still, rather than doing the 'Compiling Bossa' instructions (which you were following), use the 'Linux - Debian/Ubuntu/Raspberry Pi OS' instructions, which are much simpler.
If you have already written the DuetPi image to the Raspberry Pi SD card, follow the 'Raspberry Pi running Duet Pi (after March 2022)' instructions.
Alternatively, you can flash on your Intel Mac if you have a 8GB USB stick. Follow the 'Linux Live USB' instructions in the same section.
I'm still trying to make a working macOS version of Bossa that is capable of flashing the 6HC.

@droftarts Dear Ian, I made it. It worked. I used a DuetPi image and I could flash the 6HC. A bit tedious and I hope that the normal flashing works for the next firmware version. Many thanks for your help and guidance. Would not have been able to do it without you. Thanks.
