Creality Ender 5 Plus with 4.2.2 board and ATMEGA2560 chip requires firmware.hex firmware

ghost commented 1 year ago

Bug Description

Hi. I have a quite new Creality Ender 5 Plus with 4.2.2 board and ATMEGA2560 chip. The standard firmware from Creality's website is .hex and new firmware therefore is also requires to be firmware.hex . Marlin unfortunately doesn't allow for this motherboard / chip combination at present and only allows for Architecture STM32F1 and compiling to firmware.bin . I tested in 2.0x, 2.1.x and bugfix-2.1.x

Configuration.h compiles to bin with the best settings as far as I can see. The main settings in the Configuration.h: Motherboard: MOTHERBOARD BOARD_CREALITY_V422 SERIAL_PORT: 1 Driver type: MC2208_STANDALONE LCD_SERIAL_PORT: 3

Configuration Files

Configuration.zip

I also tested with a wrong motherboard to compile to .hex: Motherboard: BOARD_RAMPS_CREALITY SERIAL_PORT: 0 Driver type: MC2208 LCD_SERIAL_PORT: 2

Steps to Reproduce

Copy in supplied 2/1/x configuration files
Auto Build Marlin
Notice only options for compiling to .bin and none to the required .hex.

Expected behavior:

Option to compile to .hex for instance with mega2560

Actual behavior:

Only options to compile to .bin with STM32F1

Additional Information

Nothing is wrong. v4.x.x board and ATMEGA2560 are mutually exclusive. mega2560 is v2 board, which is BOARD_RAMPS_CREALITY
