topic_solved Duet 3 - files needed for standalone

garyd9

Can someone who's successfully running the duet3 in stand-alone mode post a list of files in the /sys directory? ("system files") I'm trying to prep an SD card for running the duet3 in non-SBC mode, but I'm uncertain which non-config files (such as IAP's) are needed.

(This info might be useful on a wiki page...)

Thank you
Gary

@garyd9 All files needed are in the RRF 3.0 firmware bundle. https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.0
Of those, for Duet 3 you only need to copy the following to an SD card:
Duet3Firmware_MB6HC.bin - This is the firmware file
Duet3_SDiap_MB6HC.bin - This is the in-app-programmer
DuetWebControl-SD-2.04.zip - This is the DWC package

Duet3_SDiap_MB6HC.bin will allow the installation of the 3.0.1beta1, or return to 3.0.

Load a config created by https://configtool.reprapfirmware.org/Start

If you can't connect to the DWC to update, connect by USB using YAT and send M997 S0:2 to update firmware and DWC.

See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Firmware_Overview#Section_SD_card_structure for the rest of the folder structure on the SD card.

Just the SD version of the IAP file (included in the release), and the Duet Web Control files in the /www folder.

@garyd9 One extra proviso... If your Duet 3 has a RRF 3.0 beta firmware on it, you may need to have the older iap file on it to update, as that's what it will expect. You'll need to find the firmware version, and download the appropriate iap file (may be named "Duet3iap_sd_MB6HC.bin") from the relevant github release https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/. Alternatively, erase the firmware and update the firmware using bossac; see https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Installing_and_Updating_Firmware#Section_Fallback_procedure_Num_3

thanks, all - I just wanted to make sure I knew which specific duet3 specific files were needed for a standalone installation. (I'm cheating: I'm just changing the files on my duet2 RRF3 sd card, so DWC is already there. I just need to re-create my config.g and change the binaries.)

Posting more information here in case someone else searches and finds this thread:

If your Duet3 has an early version of the beta firmware preloaded, Duet3_SDiap_MB6HC.bin won't work.

Instead, you'll need to find a copy of Duet3iap_sd_MB6HC.bin from one of the pre-3.0 releases. With that on the sdcard, you can update to the released 3.0 firmware.

Then you should be able to delete Duet3iap_sd_MB6HC.bin and use Duet3_SDiap_MB6HC.bin.

as is the nature of beta software, but its been covered in detail in other threads for those following the development.

Perhaps. Without a dedicated Duet 3 section, it becomes difficult to track some of the information down. That was one of the reasons I posted this thread...
