Pressed the Erase Button - not booting
-
Currently the only program I know of that can upload to the Duet WiFi is SAM-BA. I tried the new version of bossac a few days ago but unfortunately it doesn't recognise the SAM4E.
Is the "Bossa port" visible in the USB port list?
kinda did the same thing with 7 in panel cause I was curious what it does, didn't know it would actual delete the whole file.
can you provide me a link of SAM-BA
Thanks,Master Cabbage

It is finding the correct port on the mac, but when I try to flash it, it says it couldn't be found.
As far as SAM-BA, I installed it on bootcamp / windows 10. Arduino IS finding the port and I used that port to try to connect to the board via the gui with no luck. I am at my wits end on this. I cannot get a copy of win7 to access via vmware.
A friend suggested that the board might have direct access to the chip and could potentially directly burn it with an atmel bootloader?

SAM-BA does work under Windows 10. Does Windows 10 under boot camp show the Bossa Port in Device Manager?
-
Yes, Showing up as COM4 (Bossa Program Port). When I try connecting through the GUI I am getting "Error h_handle returned zero". FYI I am using sam-ba 2.16
-
Update: I think I got it to work. I thought the board was auto-discovered but it was not. Sam-ba returned SET so I am guessing that is the confirmation?
I pressed the reset button also, but now I can't connect to the board from rep host. I feel like I missed a step. Any idea why it is not getting picked up by USB, after flashing / resetting? Also, it is not showing up in the devices under usb.

Did you follow the full procedure listed at https://duet3d.com/wiki/Updating_main_firmware#Fallback_procedure_.233 ?
-
I followed it. A few times just to make sure that I didn't miss a step etc.
After flashing, I moved back to the Mac, and then back again back to bootcamp win10. Both are not seeing the device. I have disconnected it. Re-flashed it. I also checked to make sure the .bin was the correct file as I saw in other threads some were downloading a container file. Seems like I have done everything correctly, hoping that it is just something I am missing and not something wrong with the board!!??

One Note "On completion it will invite you to lock the region; press Yes."
I never was prompted to do this? Could this potentially be an issue?

I did the compare sent file with memory and getting the following error:

from the log

UPDATE! Somehow, when I was updating before, I didn't get an output or the sector lock. I went back and clicked on "compare file" I never did it because it said "if desired". The above error kept on coming so I looked up some detail on that. For whatever reason, I clicked on "send file"… it worked. Got the output, reset the board and it just connected to repetier. Was it necessary to click on compare file?
-
Alright, well I seem to have hit a wall. I can connect with Repetier but it is giving me "No start signal - forcing start". It then runs a couple GCODES and then get "communication timeout - reset send buffer block". Not really sure what to do next here. It seams that the firmware is updating. Since I pressed erase, do I have to add any other of the firmwares? The server or anything like that?
I did try uploading the firmware and the server .bin directly through sam-ba with no luck.

Hi.
I believe i had to run it as administrator and in compatibility mode with windows 7 to get it to work on my machine.

Thanks for that tip. This should really be in the docs. I'm not a regular Windows user so I had forgotten about compatibility mode.
