FirmwareUpdater and SKR 1.3 (LPC1768)

andy-b · February 4, 2020, 4:34pm

Hi, I've seen a number of posts relating to issues both here and on https://github.com/guysoft/OctoPi...

Did this ever get resolved?

I'm using OctoPrint version: 1.4.0rc4 and OctoPi version: 0.17.0

lsusb is showing both a plugged in memory stick (testing usb detection) and the connection to my SKR 1.3 - viz

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 1d50:6029 OpenMoko, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 18a5:0304 Verbatim, Ltd Store 'n' Go
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0424:7800 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:2514 Standard Microsystems Corp. USB 2.0 Hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:2514 Standard Microsystems Corp. USB 2.0 Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

But I can't see the content of either device on the pi. (/media/usb... contains no files, and before you ask, yes I have installed usbmount.

Weird thing is the pi can see the eeprom data and the like, so some form of communication it there...

I'm guessing that this is actually an issue with OctoPi, but can someone please confirm before I loose my sanity!

Many thanks,
Andy B.

Maybe...?

andy-b · February 4, 2020, 8:13pm

Sorry, I don't think that's the issue. The board is actually running, M503 from octoprints terminal tab returns the expected data and the EEPROM Marlin Editor Plugin works quite happily, reading and writing data.

The problem seems to be that whilst lsusb shows the printer (Bus 001 Device 006: ID 1d50:6029 OpenMoko, Inc) or a stick (Bus 001 Device 004: ID 18a5:0304 Verbatim, Ltd Store 'n' Go) are connected their content is not accessible.

Initially I thought this was due to usbmount not being installed on the pi so I added it to no avail.

It seems like the usb ports can provide serial comms (like talking to the printer) but they wont mount storage devices, hence I'm not seeing anything under /media/usb which might allow a firmware upgrade?

andy-b · February 4, 2020, 8:30pm

I've just double checked stuff, the problem is illustrated below: 2020-02-04_202007
I've followed the instructions for LPC1768 boards found at : https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint-FirmwareUpdater/blob/master/README.md#usbmount-installation, installed usbmount and configured as recommended

It's been a while since I used the Firmware Updater Plugin but I'm positive this used to work under OctoPi 16.

Hence my initial post querying if this was an OctoPi problem (or maybe the functionality of usbmount or its configuration has changed whilst moving from 16 to 17)

If you've loaded usbmount then the path won't be /media/usb. It will be something under the /media folder though. Do an ls -l /media to look at what it's mounted. Here's mine, noting that I have a thumbdrive, a Smoothieboard and a PyBoard attached. Also note that you need root elevation to read/write from these.

Been there, done that but for the sake of completeness...

Sussed it!

Needed to change:

to

Think someone needs to update https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint-FirmwareUpdater/blob/master/README.md#usbmount-installation to cover the change in "Buster"

jneilliii · February 4, 2020, 10:25pm

Yep, looks like someone posted an issue to the repo for that.

OutsourcedGuru · February 5, 2020, 2:20am

Damnit, I was JUST about to warn you about that. I even created an issue on their repository about the change in the documentation for that.

OutsourcedGuru · February 5, 2020, 2:24am

@foosel True that...

foosel · February 5, 2020, 7:30am

No longer mine, it got adopted by a bunch of people here.

OutsourcedGuru · February 5, 2020, 4:30pm

My bad. I'll throw them an issue or a PR.

hancockks · August 26, 2020, 2:34pm

I'm still having the same issue. Marlin 2.0.x bugfix was compiled with SDCARD_CONNECTION ONBOARD, but still not mounting. I'm running with PrivateMounts=no. Nothing gets mounted.

hancockks · August 26, 2020, 3:14pm

Gah. Disregard. Had to do a M22 to release the SD card for mounting on the pi.

jp_1 · December 21, 2020, 11:39pm

In my case, I was missing write permissions on the firmware folder. Fixed it with a "sudo chmod 777 /media/usb0".
