USB Firmware Compilation

Check DIP Switch Settings

Note

The DIP switches must be set to the positions shown below

SSH into the Host Machine

Warning

You must connect to the host machine via SSH using Wi-Fi before compiling the firmware

First, please: Use Wi-Fi to connect to the host machine via SSH

USB Firmware Flashing

Tip

A USB firmware has already been pre-compiled in the FLYOS-FAST system. There is no need to compile it manually. Simply execute the command below to flash it
Alternatively, you can choose to compile the USB firmware manually

Connect to the host machine via SSH and enter the following command:

fly-flash -d c8 -h -f /usr/lib/firmware/klipper/stm32f407-32k-usb.bin

Klipper Firmware Compilation and Configuration Page Operation Instructions

tip

Please ensure that the keyboard input method is in half-width mode, i.e., English mode.

The up arrow key ↑, down arrow key ↓ are used to move the cursor up and down to select menu items.
The confirm key Enter or space key Space is used to check the menu or enter a sub-menu.
The exit key ESC is used to return to the previous menu.
The Q key is used to exit the Klipper firmware configuration page.
The Y key, when exiting the Klipper firmware configuration page and there is a prompt, click the Y key to save the configuration file.

warning

If there are fewer options in the configuration page, please first check [ ] Enable extra low-level configuration options to display some hidden options.

Below is an introduction on how to compile the firmware:

After connecting via SSH, enter the following command and press Enter:

cd ~/klipper && rm -rf ~/klipper/.config && rm -rf ~/klipper/out && make menuconfig

The command rm -rf ~/klipper/.config && rm -rf ~/klipper/out deletes previous compilation data and firmware.
make menuconfig is for compiling the firmware. After execution, the following interface should appear:

Loading...
Select Enable extra low-level configuration options and press Enter:

Loading...
Navigate to the menu Micro-controller Architecture, then select STMicroelectronics STM32 and press Enter:

Loading...
Go to the menu Processor model, select STM32F407, and press Enter:

Loading...
Select Bootloader offset, choose: 32KiB bootloader:

Loading...
Communication interface, select: USB (on PA11/PA12):

Loading...

Press the Q key and when Save configuration appears, press the Y key

The configuration should now be saved, and you will be returned to the command line interface
Enter the following command to start the compilation, which may take some time

make -j4

The compilation is successful if the following output appears at the end

Firmware Flashing

tip

Execute the following command to flash the firmware

fly-flash -d c8 -h -f /data/klipper/out/klipper.bin

Searching for USB ID

Open your browser, enter the IP address of the host computer in the address bar. For example, if my host IP is 192.168.101.179, just type it and press Enter.

Open the host's WEB interface. In the left sidebar configuration options, find:

For fluidd: {…}, click to enter, then find printer.cfg

For mainsail: Machine, click to enter, then find printer.cfg

Click printer.cfg to enter, then click DEVICES in the top right corner.

Click SERIAL, then refresh.

Refreshing in fluidd

Refreshing in mainsail

Copy the ID. Click where the arrow points to copy.

In fluidd, check if ttyAMC exists, and ensure Path by ID exists. This is the USB ID.

In mainsail, check if ttyAMC exists, and ensure Path by ID exists. This is the USB ID.

Filling in the USB ID

dangerous

Please note, the ID below cannot be used!!!!

serial: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0

Close DEVICES and fill in the ID.

Important Notes

In the configuration file, change:

[mcu] 
serial: /tmp/klipper_host_mcu

to:

[mcu host] 
serial: /tmp/klipper_host_mcu

Add:

[mcu]
serial: <Replace this with the ID you just queried>

Find [MCU] in fluidd

Find [MCU] in mainsail

Fill the ID into the configuration.

tip

After filling in the ID, click SAVE & RESTART in the top right corner.

If Klipper prompts ADC out of range, this is normal. Connect the heated bed and thermistor to the mainboard, configure the thermistor pins for the hotend and heated bed, then save and restart.

dangerous

Note: All IDs appearing in this document are examples. The actual ID for each mainboard is different. Please fill in the ID you actually obtained.
