Can't install firmware on Octopus v1.1

I've attempted to install the firmware multiple times and the file in the SD card has remained a .bin file.

The dashboard on ratos states there is a klippy-state error and unable toconnect to mcu.

VVausch I've attempted to install the firmware multiple times and the file in the SD car...

How did you verify you named the file firmware.bin?

I downloaded the .bin file, renamed it to firmware.bin, put it on the SD card.

On many OS they hide the file extension, so you could be naming it firmware.bin.bin

Made sure not to touch the .bin on the file extension as it was already named.

Ok, what size SD card did you use and how did you format it?

VauschOP•12/9/22, 2:40 AM

64gb, exFAT

blacksmithforlife•12/9/22, 2:41 AM

Format the sd card for your board to FAT16 (sometimes just called FAT), or FAT32 with a clustersize of 8kb or 4kb.

VauschOP•12/9/22, 2:42 AM

it doesn't give me that option. Just NTFS and exFAT

blacksmithforlife•12/9/22, 2:42 AM

Then you need to use something else to format the SD card

VauschOP•12/9/22, 2:42 AM

alright

VauschOP•12/9/22, 2:45 AM

okay, fat32 and 8kb

VauschOP•12/9/22, 2:48 AM

SD card is in the octopus, starting up

VauschOP•12/9/22, 2:50 AM

klippy-state: error mcu unable to connect

Did you check the SD card to see if the firmware was renamed to firmware.cur?

VauschOP•12/9/22, 2:51 AM

not yet

VVausch not yet

blacksmithforlife•12/9/22, 2:51 AM

You need to do that first. You can't continue until it correctly flashes

VauschOP•12/9/22, 2:52 AM

it changed

VauschOP•12/9/22, 2:52 AM

cursor file typenow

VauschOP•12/9/22, 2:53 AM

so that worked, thank you

VauschOP•12/9/22, 3:00 AM

seems to have installed. It's a cursor file type now. Now just the klippy/mcu issue

did you uncomment the right line in printer.cfg for your board?

MMatt "@LordNed" Hoffman did you uncomment the right line in printer.cfg for your board?

VauschOP•12/9/22, 4:52 AM

I did not.

yeah that was a different thread in #ratos-support

For me on a octopus pro 446, this will only work with an 8gb card (i not have 16), with 32 or 64gb it doesn't flash (with correct formating and file name)

I gave up trying to find a suitable SD card for reflashing my bricked Octopus 1.1. Since I had extensive experience DFU flashing mu EBB42 I was initially stumped trying to find out how to get the Octopus into DFU mode - the manual says that it supports DFU but not how to enable it (or my reading skills are not sufficient). After some more googling I came to the following recipe to flash the Octopus 1.1 using DFU:

1) Install the boot0 jumper and press the reset button for a few seconds, verify with "dmesg" in the RPi that a STM32446 device in DFU mode has been discovered. 2) Proceed it to flash in from klipper with 'make flash FLASH_DEVICE=0483:df11' and check output for errors. 3) Power down, remove boot0 jumper and power on.
