      I just tried many different things, including different cables, but I just can´t get a conection to the board.. I mean, BOSSA and SAM-BA show the serial port, but I get the same error massages as befor (the pictures further up).

      Is there something im just forgetting about?

          the board is on my desk.
          Nothing except for the USB-cable, and the SD card is plugged in.

          The cable i´m currently using was included with my duet 2...
          I´ll try all of my other cables, maybe one of them works...

              I took it out now. It didn´t change much.
              (and I´m still swapping cable around 👍 )

              It should not now show up as a BOSSA programming port.

              But it does, why´s that?

                Good News:
                it turned out, that the USB port I used was the Problem.
                After trying all of my micro-USB cables, I thougt: "okay let´s just try a diffrent USB-port!".

                Now the diag-LED is blinking as it shoud!

                Thanks for your help so far!

                What should I do now, in order not to "break" it again?

                          BTW I found out yesterday that "DCS is not started" is a misleading message. I also get it if DCS is unable to communicate with the Duet.

                            fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/shumatech/BOSSA/': Could not resolve host: github.com

                            thats odd, your Pi managed to resolve pastebin.com but not github.com - sounds like have some gremlins on your network. but it is good feedback to improve the scritpt:)

                            /dev/ttyACM0 not found******

                            just out of curiosity, was this with the same usb cable you succeeded with in the end?

                            I didn´t use version 3.0 first...

                            when you get a new duet with a pre 3.0 it will break compatibility with dsf without either manually updating to 3.0 before using apt upgrade, or use bossa or sam-ba after apt upgrades to 3.1.1. shame this isn't highlighted better.

                            too bad about the series of unfortunate events sort of speak, but glad you got it sorted in the end 👍

                              no, I belive that was a different cable and the "non working USB-port".

                              (It worked when I used a different USB - port. At first I used the port on the backside of my Keyboard (I use a "Corsair K70 LUX"), that woked with the duet2, but not with the 3! In the end, I plugged the duet directly into the front of my PC and using the included cable from the duet2!)

                              Thanks again for your help!
