SD card not showing up on Pi with SKR Mini E3 V2 #289

Closed mortenmoulder closed 2 years ago

mortenmoulder commented 2 years ago

Hardware Setup Board: SKR Mini E3 V2 Printer: Ender 3 Pro Marlin 2.0

Describe the problem I cannot get my Raspberry Pi 4 to list the SD card no matter what I do. Usbmount is configured correctly and I have rebooted the Pi.

I have the firmware correctly updated:

Configuration.h:
#define SDSUPPORT

Configuration_adv.h:
#define SDCARD_CONNECTION ONBOARD

My SD card I use to flash the firmware with works manually. It changes the .bin extension to .CUR after flashing. However, when I run a M20 command, I just see:

Send: M20
Recv: Begin file list
Recv: End file list
Recv: ok

even though I also placed a "test.txt" file on the SD card in the same directory as the firmware.cur file.

EDIT: I placed a .gcode file and it reads it out correctly. M22 and waiting still doesn't mount it.

When I run M22, wait for a few minutes, then run blkid /dev/sd* I get nothing. ls /media/usb returns nothing.

I can run M21 and M22 all day long. Not sure if M21 works if the Pi has mounted the SD card, but I doubt it will.

dmesg doesn't show any new messages after running M22.

The printer shows "No Media" after running M22, so I know that M22 works.

Log Files ~/.octoprint/logs/plugin_firmwareupdater_console.log is empty.

~/.octoprint/logs/octoprint.log shows nothing of interest.

EDIT: I got it working by changing my environment in platformio.ini to STM32F103RC_btt_512K_USB. Make sure your environment includes USB in it, otherwise it will not work. According to this post, the USB part enables USB host via the firmware. I was using STM32F103RC_btt_maple (maple is even deprecated), so I simply changed that one string in platformio.ini and now it works flawlessly after running M22.

M20 only ever returns g-code files. Neither .bin nor .txt files will be shown in the output. If you plug your board into a PC does it show up the SD card as storage device?

mortenmoulder commented 2 years ago

@benlye Yeah I figured that.

UPDATE: Plugging the board into a Windows PC via USB doesn't show the SD card in Windows Explorer either.

@benlye Wow, talk about posting at the same time.

Then you need to:

mortenmoulder commented 2 years ago

@benlye My SKR Mini E3 V2 should be able to expose the SD card according to what other people report.

The firmware has been configured according to the page I linked to: https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint-FirmwareUpdater/blob/master/doc/lpc176x.md#marlin-firmware-configuration

benlye commented 2 years ago

If other people say it works than you need to talk to them to find out what you've done differently. I don't have the board so can't help you. Once you have the SD card showing up in Windows there is no reason why it shouldn't show up when connected to the Pi as long as usbmount is properly configured.

mortenmoulder commented 2 years ago

@benlye I've visited every issue (about 5 or so) with the LPC176x not being able to connect. Most people got it working by updating the firmware to support the SD card stuff (as mentioned in the documentation), so that's not much help.

I'll wait and see if somebody knows what to do. I've done everything the documentation says, but it's still not showing up in Linux or Windows as an USB device (the SD card, that is).

OctoPrint can easily see the contents of the SD card, though. I can also upload files, but I can't upload a firmware file to the SD card, as it only accepts gcode files.

mortenmoulder commented 2 years ago

Does it matter which firmware I use? I use this one: https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3/tree/master/firmware/V2.0/Marlin-2.0.8.2.x-SKR-mini-E3-V2.0

Should I be using something else? I have a TFT35 V3.0 as well.

benlye commented 2 years ago

Like I said - I don't have the board and don't know any more than is in the documentation or reported in previous issues. Your best bet is finding a user group or forum for this board and asking there.

benlye commented 2 years ago

Or you could use Binary File Transfer instead, which doesn't need the SD card mounted on the host. It's a bit more effort to set up but it works pretty well.

mortenmoulder commented 2 years ago

Okay, I actually got it working. It was a firmware error on my part.

I was using STM32F103RC_btt_maple specified in platformio.ini because I was using this firmware: https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3

I changed it to STM32F103RC_btt_512K_USB (which makes sense, as _USB allows USB host.. as far as I can read), compiled the firmware, and after issuing a M22 I can mount /dev/sda1 to /media/usb/ with no issues.

Should/could the documentation include that the environment should include _USB, otherwise it won't work? Maybe linking to this issue could help other people as well.
