[3.4.1-rc2] update fail
-
So it looks like you're all up to date on 3.4.1 now. Assuming that's only after updating with bossa.
Can you upload the zip file again now? Does it still produce an error? Is the only place you see the error on the PanelDue? What firmware version is the PanelDue?

@supertb1 FWIW that error "Operation 3 failed after 5 retries" comes from the IAP when it tries to update the firmware. It means that an operation to write a block of firmware to flash memory failed. My guess is that the prior Erase operation didn't fully erase the flash memory. You fixed that with the Ease jumper and Bossa.
The only suggestion I have is that you check that you have the latest version of the IAP file for the MB6HC in the /firmware folder on the SD card.
If this issue comes up more often, I will modify the IAP to restart the whole process form scratch the first time an irrecoverable error like this happens.

@dc42 in what release was the last "in app programmer" published?
How do I check what version IAP I have? -
@phaedrux I updated the paneldue7i to the latest version and then ran the Duet2and3Firmware-3.4.1.zip again, it worked fine this time.

In release 3.4.1, however I don;t think there were any changes between 3.4.0 and 3.4.1. If you uploaded the 3.4.1 zip file then you should already have the latest version.
How do I check what version IAP I have?
It can only be checked by date and file size at present.

@dc42 so it is in the .ZIP file, I'm not sure what is going on with this new board, it has been giving me issues since RC1. It always comes up with error: "Operation 3 failed after 5 retries". while my 2 year old board has never given me any troubles.
-
@dc42 Is there a way to install the IAP separate from the .zip file for issues like this?
-
@supertb1 yes, just upload it the same way that you upload a firmware binary, and it will appear in the /firmware folder.

@dc42 so you unzip the file and upload the DuetAPI.xml?

No. The zip file should be uploaded intact. Do not unzip it first unless you want to upload a single specific file.

I tried to update to the latest firmware and it did the same thing listed below. Is there a way to make it not do that? or would it be advisable to not update this particular board?***FWIW that error "Operation 3 failed after 5 retries" comes from the IAP when it tries to update the firmware. It means that an operation to write a block of firmware to flash memory failed. My guess is that the prior Erase operation didn't fully erase the flash memory. You fixed that with the Ease jumper and Bossa.

What was the update method used this time?

@phaedrux I tried to upload the update zip file to the web interface, and it failed the third step just like it did before, I used the second fall back process and now am in the process to getting back on the web interface to install the tool board firmware updates manually. this being as big a head ache as this board has been on firmware updates I am trying to figure out if there are any reasons why I should update it in the future or if I should just wait until like update 4.0 before I reset the board and use bossa again. Any thoughts... Is there something that I should be doing outside the norm with this particular board?

When and where did you purchase this Duet?
-
@Phaedrux I purchased the Duet 3 6HC on April 1 2022 from filastruder. Board ID: 08DJM-956BA-NA3TJ-6J9F2-3SD6J-9B9AT
Invoice c30699537694791.1. Is there a way to confirm that this board is actually a Duet3D manufactured board? I would be very interested to find out if this board was a knock off or if somehow there was some kind of defect/ different design/explanation for why this board does not behave like the other duet board I have. -
@supertb1 Filastruder is an official vendor of Duet3D hardware, and I’m sure your board is genuine. Feel free to post a picture of it if you are in any doubt.
We have discussed this issue internally, as it’s not clear what is going wrong. We think most likely the flash chip may be damaged, or something is associated is interfering with the flash process.
As such, we are happy to offer you a warranty replacement. Please send an email to warranty@duet3d.com and CC your reseller. Include a link to this forum thread and the details of your original purchase. You'll receive a reply with a form to fill out.

Tim here, from Filastruder. A couple things:
- We do not, and have never, sold clones/knockoffs of any product.
- Citing the PayPal Invoice ID tells me you might not be getting emails from us, as you'd have a 5 digit order ID from your order confirmation and shipping confirmation. So, you might want to check your spam filter settings.

@elmoret Yes it is interesting, I log into my filastruder account to find where I have ordered this board and it doesn't show up but on my pay pal it shows that I purchased this board at 10:35 PM for 249.99 paid to Acceleration Labs, LLC. Invoice ID: c30699537694791.1
Transaction ID: 036817299B715910L
I have never ordered a DUET3D device from any other source besides directly from DUET3D or Filastruder. Am I missing something here, I am at a loss. Currently the printer is making a part and as soon as it is done I'm going to open the control box and get the serial number directly off the board to find out if it is different than the reported ID number. -
The order for the 6HC was placed with guest checkout, there's no account set up for the email address that was provided for that order.

@elmoret
I get it, your saying I purchased the board as a guest and did not log in to use my account, which is likely what happened. The first pic is from inside my account at Filastruder and the others are from inside my paypal
I am glad to hear that filastruder would never sell me a counter fit board and I of course will continue to use Filastruder for all my 3D printing electronics needs
