3.3 Wiring : FYSETC mini 12864 v2.1

注意/NOTICE：

为了兼容某些主板，如RAMPS1.4，FYSETC mini12864 设置了 RST(R3) 和 KILL(R4) 的可选择电阻。目前，有些主板（S6/Spider）将 KILL 换成 5V，此时，请确认FYSETC mini12864 上 R4处于空贴状态，否则按下屏幕上的按钮会致使 5V 与 GND 短路，长时间操作会导致主板损坏。
In order to be compatible with some motherboards, such as RAMPS1.4, mini12864 is equipped with RST (R3) and KILL (R4) optional resistors. At present, some motherboards (S6/Spider) change the KILL to 5V. At this time, please make sure that R4 is not on the mini12864 (please remove it if it is on the board), otherwise pressing the button on the screen will cause a short circuit between 5V and GND, and long-term operation will cause the motherboard to be damaged.

目前发现有些主板在接上 mini12864，并采用 USB 进行烧录时会导致无法烧录的情况，请去除 R1 10K 电阻。
At the moment , some Spider can't upload the firmware using USB if mini12864 is connected to the board, if you run into this issue, please remove R1 resistor.

  • 2. Boot address 32k

If you choose 32k bootloader offset in Klipper make menuconfig. Then you need to flash the spider board bootloader named Bootloader_FYSETC_SPIDER first, we recommend you to use this bootloader as we already change default bootloader offset from 64k to 32k since 2021/06/23. If you are not clear about it, you'd better flash the bootloader first. The bootloader is in the folder named bootloader in this repo, please follow the README in bootloader folder(github or gitee). Then you can follow Upload the firmware(SDCARD) to flash your built Klipper firmware to Spider. We provide pre-build firmwares named klipper-32k-USB.bin and klipper-32k-UART.bin for you github gitee.

And in printer.cfg you need to set the serial as below. We provide an example cfg file printer.cfg for VORON 2 machine here.

Obtain definition by "ls -l /dev/serial/by-id/" then unplug to verify
##--------------------------------------------------------------------
serial: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Klipper_stm32f446xx_230032000851363131363530-if00
  • 2. Serial (on USART1 PA10/PA9)

If you want to connect Spider UART1(RX1:PA10, TX1:PA9) port to RPI uart0(TX:GPIO14,RX:GPIO15) port, you need to select Serial (on USART1 PA10/PA9)

image-20210705154625673

In printer.cfg you need to uncomment the following line as our example printer.cfg file here (github gitee)do, if your cfg file don't have this line, please add it.

serial: /dev/ttyAMA0

Besides this make option, you still need to follow the instructions that Connect RPI uart.md file says, you can find the file github or gitee.

4.2.2 Compile firmware

make

4.2.3 Upload firmware

Follow Firmware Update guide here.

4.3 RRF

As RRF firmware requires more than 512KB of Flash space, the Spider equipped with 446 cannot meet its requirements. So it needs to disable some features to make it work, please check the README in firmware/RRF folder github gitee.

4.4 Firmware Upload

4.4.1 Upload the firmware(SDCARD)

We provide several ways to upload the firmware .Uploading firmware using SD card is our default way to update the firmware as Spider already has the bootloader in it when it leave the factory. But if you once upload the firmware to Spider flash address 0x08000000, then the bootloader in Spider will be gone, then you need to upload the bootloader to Spider yourself, please follow the README in bootloader folder (github or gitee) to upload the bootloader.

Copy your compiled firmware file firmware.bin(If you use klipper firmware, you need to rename klipper.bin to firmware.bin) file to the SD card , and insert it to the SD card slot which is at the right side of the board, and then power up the board. You may need to wait for about 30s to finish uploading, there is LED beside the sdcard slot blinking when it is uploading.

4.4.2 Upload the firmware(dfu-util)

This method works in linux, that means should work in raspberry pi.

  1. Make sure dfu-util is installed, shoot dfu-util --version command to check.

    Sample output:

    dfu-util 0.9

Copyright 2005-2009 Weston Schmidt, Harald Welte and OpenMoko Inc.
Copyright 2010-2016 Tormod Volden and Stefan Schmidt
This program is Free Software and has ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY
Please report bugs to http://sourceforge.net/p/dfu-util/tickets/

    If not , you should install it first, use the package manager of your distribution to get the latest version, like

    sudo apt-get install dfu-util

  2. Power off board, remove SD Card, place jumper on BT0 and 3.3V. (Between Z- endstop and E0 driver) Connect Spider to PC/RaspberryPi with USB cable with jumper in place. Set U5V jumper closest to stepper driver modules to power Spider from the Pi USB, or power up with 24V. Verify 3.3V LED is lit and board is detected with dfu-util --list, should look something like

    <snip>
Found DFU: [0483:df11] ver=2200, devnum=13, cfg=1, intf=0, path="1-1.3", alt=3, name="@Device Feature/0xFFFF0000/01*004 e", serial="STM32FxSTM32"
Found DFU:<snip>

  3. You should replace firmware.bin below with your built firmware bin file location like out/klipper.bin.

    dfu-util -R -a 0 -s 0x08008000:leave -D firmware.bin

4.4.3 Upload the firmware(DFU)

The other way to upload the firmware is using DFU.

a.Download stm32cubeprogrammer

You can download it from ST website.

https://www.st.com/zh/development-tools/stm32cubeprog.html

Open the STM32CubeProgrammer software.

1574332767079

b.Enter DFU mode

  1. First power off the board
  2. Place jumper on BT0 to 3.3V pin (You can find them in the middle area of the board)
  3. Connect USB cable to the board and your computer
  4. Power up the board

Now the board is in DFU mode.

REMEMBER to remove the jumper if you finish uploading firmware or it will enter DFU mode again.

c.Upload the firmware

Now you can connect and flash the Spider board with stm32cubeprogrammer with the following operation.

1574386395071

Do as the red number shows in the screen shot.

  1. Click the button to find the DFU port.
  2. Connect the DFU
  3. Choose the "firmware.bin" file.
  4. Fill in the 'Start address' with 0x08008000 (If your platformio env is default_envs = FYSETC_S6, then you need to set it to 0x08010000, in klipper if you choose boot address 32k then set it 0x08008000, if 64k , set it 0x08010000, yes , you need different bootloader here (github or gitee)
  5. Start Programming
