E3EZ serial port not found

[bmorgan99]

Probably something stupid, but after configuring menuconfig with

STM32G0B1
8KiB bootloader
8 MHz crystal
USB (on PA11/PA12)

and running make, no serial port is found.

raspberry pi 3B

Thanks

I wouldn't think it matters, but I haven't connected the printer to the MCU yet and the pi is powering the mcu (VBUS jumper on).

[bmorgan99]

should have given more detail:

firmware uploads,  3V3 is green, firmware.bin renamed

tried 3 cables, all USB ports

removed, reinstalled klipper on pi

 systemctl status klipper.service

@bmorgan99 I know you only posted yesterday but have you got anywhere with this?

 

I just finished getting mine setup today and the klipper firmware has installed OK as it renamed to firmware.cur but I cannot connect to it as running command below gives me nothing

I feel maybe something is wrong or missing with the make menuconfig settings that are published??

pi@octopi:~ $ ls /dev/serial/by-id/
ls: cannot access '/dev/serial/by-id/': No such file or directory

I've tried everything I can think of to no avail.  My thought is also menuconfig settings, but have found no others on the net so far.

This guy got it working so I posted our issue there

I too have tried pretty much everything I can think of and not got anywhere, raised a ticket to see what they say.

Things I have tried:

1. Power board via USB instead of 24v DC by adding jumper to VUSB
2. Try all 4 USB ports on Raspberry Pi 4B
3. Try 3x USB cables
4. Update klipper to latest (was about a month behind before) and recompile firmware
5. Update Raspberry Pi OS to latest
6. Run command 'dmesg' - nothing new found
7. Run command 'lsusb' - nothing new found

This board is advertised as a "drop-in replacement".  Hope the maker checks these posts... or their github.

I am getting the distinct feeling this board only works when tied with a CM4/CB1 add-on board, but this is really not documented anywhere that it is the case and is clearly made to be an optional thing.

If that is the case then it's clearly not as advertised as everything leads you to believe that it should work via the micro-USB port like a standard Ender 3 board and that the use of a CM4/CB1 is purely optional.

I have tried several other things now as documented on the github page, including trying to get connection via UART on the TFT pins PD8 / PD9 but still no joy. I've raised a dispute with PayPal to get a refund as this board is either defective or totally not as advertised IMO.

I just received my board today and had the same problem. Turns out the cpu is STM32H723 instead of STM32H743 as stated in the docs.  Recompiled for the correct cpu and all is well. 

[Ronald Merema]

How did you do this?

I have the same problem with my SKR 3 ez board, but i can not find a configuration for  STM32H723

[StarSeed2669]

thanks a lot Billsef . I bought recently a few of these boards to upgrade a few core xy I have and indeed all of them had the H743 cpu except one that had the other cpu H723. I didnt't realize this was a possibility and tried different thinks (changing usb cables, different usb ports in the Pi...etc) was already thinking of getting into contact for a replacement thinking it was a faulty board and I found your comment here and then I went to the official SKR E3 EZ biqu site and there it also  tells that it can come with two different cpus and in the physical box itself it is also specified so everyhting is working correctly now.
