      I've been gifted an old Ormerod with a Duet 0.6 board with web controls.

      Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet
      Firmware Electronics: Duet 0.6
      Firmware Version: 1.20.1RC2 (2018-01-01)
      Web Interface Version: 1.20

      I want to upgrade the firmware if I can, I've found a thread here about the latest compatible firmware release but the upgrade instructions page has got me confused as to which parts I should be following, which files I should be downloading etc.

      Any help appreciated!

        @fridgefreezer you can upgrade the Duet 0.6 firmware to 1.25.1 and you can upgrade DWC to at least 1.22.5.

          @dc42 can you explain to me, as if to an idiot who hasn't read & internalised the detailed workings of the controller, the upgrade process? 😇

          You mention Duet firmware + DWC, as far as I'm aware there's only one board / controller...

          I'm guessing the Duet firmware runs on the micro and is perhaps 'RepRapFirmware.bin' that I should somehow be putting on the board via one of the various processes described in the update page, but which one?

          https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Installing_and_Updating_Firmware
          or
          https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Installing_and_Updating_Firmware_(Legacy)
          and which part(s) of those?

          Is the DWC just a web application served from SD card and updated via the web interface?

            You can use Bossa to flash the firmware directly via USB.

            I believe the firmware file you will need is here: https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/2.05.1/RepRapFirmware.bin

            The DWC files are just web site files and they go onto the SD card in a folder called WWW

            https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/2.05.1/DuetWebControl-1.22.6.zip

            Extract that zip file into WWW

              @phaedrux well I flashed it with Bossa and now it's dead, won't respond to USB-serial or network.

              Bossa still recognises it via TTYUSB so something is working but I'm stumped now.

              Edit: Re-flashed it with the "boot from flash" option checked in Bossa and now it appears running.

              So, probably, thanks! 🙂

                @fridgefreezer I'm glad you got it working. As specified in the instructions at https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/Updating_firmware#all-other-duet-boards, when using Bossa you need to check Erase All, Lock, and Boot from Flash.
