Brand new MB6HC and EPX3HC w/ new rasp PI 4

[dmiles]

I set everything up in SBC mode, and while going through the configuration, everything worked fine, I just got Error: M307: Board 1 received unknown msg type 6053 in the console. I did see that my main board was at version 3.4.5, while the EXP3HC was at 3.3, so I figured that this was the reason for the error.

This is my first setup in SBC mode, and I thought that doing the update through the rasp pi took care of everything. I also heeded the warnings about not updating through the DWC in SBC mode. I did try M997 B1, but it just says Board 1 starting firmware update, and the CAN light on the EXP does a couple of quick flashes, and then returns to normal communication, but the firmware never updates.

The EXP board does show Bootlaoder ID unavailable, but when I send an M997 B1 S3, it returns with Error: M997: Firmware file Duet3Bootloader-SAME5x.bin not found. I have scoured the internet, and I can not find this file anywhere.

I tried setting all of the ID switches to 0 on the EXP board and hitting the reset. I get 5 flashes from the CAN light, and then it returns to normal communication, but still no joy on the bootloader, or the Firmware update on the EXP board.

Everything is working fine, and I'm thrilled with the boards in my Jubilee, it's just that I would like to get them all on the same firmware if possible. As I said, this is my first time in SBC mode. I am running the MB6HC with no SD card, I would like to confirm that this is the correct way to run it.

Thanks for your great support.

@dmiles bootloader can be found here https://github.com/Duet3D/Duet3Bootloader/releases/tag/2.4
I don't believe it's typically included as part of the pi image.
And I would suggest in this instance it's ok to update the 3HC by using DWC to update to the latest stable version (3.4.4)

@jay_s_uk That took care of it, and I uploaded it through the DWC, and then installed it with the proper commands. Everything is updated to the current versions, and working great. Thanks for the great support, as always.

@dmiles I suggest you update the bootloader on the 3HC too if you have not already done so, to avoid possible problems in future.

@dc42 Good point, I'll be sure to do that. Thanks.
