Will not update firmware #64

About a week and a half ago, I updated my SKR Mini E3 V1.2 & TFT35 E3 V3.0 to Marlin 2.0.5.3 by placing the compiled firmware.bin file in the root directory of my sd card. I put the sd card into the TFT35 E3 V3.0 and powered up my Ender 3. BOOM! It updated with no issues. Then I purchased (https://theveel.com/produkt/4-pack-sjo-rodgul-mork-lime/) and updated the icons repeating the same process.

Yesterday, I re-compiled Marlin 2.0.5.3 to add some additional features. After placing the sd card into the TFT35 E3 V3.0, nothing happens. So I tried another sd card, the same issue. In total, I tried three different sd cards, 2GB, 8GB, and 32GB. All the sd cards are SanDisk, and all were formatted to FAT32. I even tried using the micro sd card that came with my Ender 3, but that did not work either.

All the sd cards work fine when using them to print code files. Does anyone know why SKR or the TFT won't see and update the firmware.bin file?

Hi sonny-c.

The firmware.bin file is for SKR boards only. Firmware for TFT's is always named like the TFT the firmware is made for, for example: BIGTREE_TFT35_V3.0_E3.26.x.bin

Make sure you add the corresponding TFT35 folder which holds the font and the bmp folder as well as the config.ini text file which you can use to change values without recompiling. All those files and folders will be renamed to CUR after the successful update.

Hope this helps, please do not forget to close tickets you do not need anymore.

Thank you

Update I was able to resolve the issue of updating the firmware on the SKR board. On the SKR GitHub site, it was suggested that I reformat the micro sd card after each firmware update. I reformatted the micro sd card as FAT32, and it worked.

Thank you for refreshing my memory. My silly self only copied the bmp and font folders to the root directory. What I needed to do is copy the TFT35 folder that contains the bmp and font folders to the root directory.

Thank you for your help and information.
