      I have Duet 3 board, which I run in standalone mode. I can connect to it using the Web interface version 1.22.6; content of the www directory is from Duet 2 SD card. I'd like to use the latest firmware, so I try to update:

      I downloaded the file Duet3iap_sd_MB6HC.bin to sys.
      (At https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.0beta10 it says "Duet3iap_sd_MB6HC.bin is the IAP file for Duet 3 production main boards running in standalone mode (without a connected RPi), used when updating firmware via DuetWebControl served from the local Ethernet port").

      I then get file Duet3Firmware_MB6HC.bin from the above page, and download it to the board. I get prompted "You have just uploaded a firmware file. Would you like to update your Duet now?". I click Yes. The response is: "M997 S0 Error: Firmware binary "Duet3Firmware_MB6HC.bin" not found". The sys folder
      gets a file named "Duet3Firmware.bin".

      What am I doing wrong?

        You shouldn't need to reload the IAP file. They change very infrequently. I have not reloaded mine (as vs. the base image file that Duet provides for the SD). I would remove the Duet3iap_sd_MB6HC.bin from sys, and try again.

        All file names SHOULD be handled correctly. I've done an upgrade with the Duet3Firmware_MB6HC.bin from that link, via DWC, and I don't remember anything odd about it.

        Nonetheless, if nothing else works, put the Duet3Firmware_MB6HC.bin file in 0:/sys yourself and issue "M997 S0" manually.

        Let us know.

          And, if all else fails, format a fresh SD (not quick format), FAT32, and then image it per the instructions (and image) found here

          Then do the upgrade via DWC.

          That's the path I followed, and it worked.

          Of course, keep any files like config.g, or whatever, in which you've invested work!!

            Thank you! The problem is/was that the download renamed the file "Duet3Firmware_MB6HC.bin" to "Duet3Firmware.bin", yet the M997 command wanted "Duet3Firmware_MB6HC.bin". I renamed it back, and then manually issued "M997 S0". This worked.

            Btw, DWC reports the firmware version as "3.0beta10 (2019-09-12b1)", yet people refer the newest version as 1.0.4.0. ?

              1.0.4.0 is the current version of DuetSoftwareFramework, the software running on the SBC in the non-standalone mode.

                Old versions of DWC do this renaming because they don't know about the new naming convention for RRF on Duet 3. So you need to upload the firmware file, decline the invitation to install it, then send M997.

                Btw I find that the IAP for Duet 3 isn't yet 100% reliable, so sometimes I have to resort to USB and Bossa.

                  USB and Bossa seems to be the only way that works with the current versions of the DSF and firmware. When you execute M997, you get

                  M997 S0
                  Error: Failed to find IAP file /opt/dsf/sd/sys/Duet3iap_spi_MB6HC.bin
                  

                  Duet3iap_spi_MB6HC.bin isn't in the distribution.

                    Pretty simple to use usb and bossa with M999 PERASE, no need to manually use the erase jumper. But ofc DWC is even simpler 👍

                      That file should be included. I'll follow that up.

                        This file together with some others has been moved from duetsd to the new additional package reprapfirmware. It seems that documentation has not yet caught up.

                          I see the deb package added in DSF but I'm not seeing the bin file nor any means to create it.

                            @gtj0 AFAIK it's auto-generated by a filesystem watchdog on the package server.

                              Well that's not too open-source friendly.
