USB Bridge CAN Firmware Flashing

SSH Connect to the Host Computer

Warning

• Before compiling the firmware, you need to connect to the host computer SSH via wifi

• First, please: Connect to the host computer SSH via wifi

• USB Bridge CAN Firmware Flashing
• Manually Compile USB Bridge CAN Firmware

USB Bridge CAN Firmware Flashing

Tip

• A pre-compiled USB Bridge CAN firmware is already available in the FLYOS-FAST system, so manual compilation is not required. Execute the command below to flash it.
• You can also choose Manually Compile USB Bridge CAN Firmware to compile the firmware yourself.

• The FAST system defaults to a 1M rate. If you need 500K, you need to modify the canbus_bitrate rate in the system configuration.

• This command flashes the 1M USB Bridge CAN Firmware

fly-flash -d auto -h -f /usr/lib/firmware/klipper/stm32h723-128k-usbcan-1m.bin

• This command flashes the 500k USB Bridge CAN Firmware

fly-flash -d auto -h -f /usr/lib/firmware/klipper/stm32h723-128k-usbcan-500k.bin

Firmware Compilation Quick Guide

Precautions

• Network: Ensure the host machine (Raspberry Pi, etc.) is connected to the network.
• Login Method: Must log in via SSH over the network; serial port login is disabled.
• Input Method: Keep the keyboard in English half-width mode.

SSH Login and User Switching

Use tools like MobaXterm, PuTTY, etc., to SSH into the host machine.

Switching Users:

• Standard Systems (Official Raspberry Pi OS, etc.)
  Do not use root. Switch to a regular user:

  su <username>

• FLY Host Machine (FlyOS-FAST System)
  Only supports logging in as the root user (password: mellow).

Firmware Compilation Operation Guide

In the Klipper firmware configuration interface, only keyboard operations are supported; mouse usage is not possible.

Key	Function
↑ / ↓	Move cursor up/down to select menu items
Enter / Space	Confirm selection, toggle options, or enter submenus
ESC	Return to the previous menu level
Q	Exit the configuration interface
Y	When exiting, press Y to save the configuration if prompted

Start Firmware Compilation

The following describes how to compile the firmware:

• After connecting via SSH, enter the following command and press Enter:

  cd ~/klipper && rm -rf ~/klipper/.config && rm -rf ~/klipper/out && make menuconfig

• Among these, rm -rf ~/klipper/.config && rm -rf ~/klipper/out deletes previous compilation data and firmware.

• make menuconfig is for compiling the firmware. After execution, the interface below should appear.

• Among these, rm -rf ~/klipper/.config && rm -rf ~/klipper/out deletes previous compilation data and firmware, and make menuconfig is for compiling the firmware. After execution, the interface below should appear.

• The configuration should now be saved, and you will exit to the command line interface.
• Enter the following command to start compilation. This will take some time.

make -j4

• If the output below appears at the end, the compilation is successful.
• Due to Klipper version differences, as long as out/klipper.bin appears, it indicates success.

  Linking out/klipper.elf
  Creating bin file out/klipper.bin

Searching for CAN ID

1. Open your browser, enter the IP address of the host computer in the address bar, for example, if my host IP is 192.168.101.179, just type it and press Enter.

2. Open the host's WEB interface, find in the configuration options in the left sidebar:

For fluidd: {…} , click into it to find printer.cfg Loading...

For mainsail: Machine, click into it to find printer.cfg Loading...

3. Click into printer.cfg, then click DEVICES in the top right corner.

4. Click CAN, then refresh.

Refresh in fluidd Loading...

Refresh in mainsail Loading...

5. Copy the ID, click where the arrow points to copy.

In fluidd, confirm if the first arrow points to Klipper. If yes, click the copy button indicated by the right arrow. Loading...

In mainsail, confirm if the first arrow points to Klipper. If yes, click the copy button indicated by the right arrow. Loading...

Filling in the CAN ID

1. Close DEVICES and fill in the ID.

Important Notes

• In the configuration file, change:

[mcu] 
serial: /tmp/klipper_host_mcu

to:

[mcu host] 
serial: /tmp/klipper_host_mcu

• Add:

[mcu]
canbus_uuid: <Replace this with the ID you just queried>

Find [MCU] in fluidd Loading...

Find [MCU] in mainsail Loading...

2. Fill the ID into the configuration.

tip

• After filling in the ID, click SAVE & RESTART in the top right corner.

3. If Klipper prompts ADC out of range, this is normal. Connect the heated bed and thermistor to the mainboard, configure the thermistor pins for the hotend and heated bed, then save and restart.
