USB Firmware Compilation
Check the DIP Switch
- For normal use, please
set the DIP switch to the upward position. - When adjusting the DIP switch, please
push it all the way up, otherwise it may fail to connect to the lower computer!!!
SSH Connect to the Upper Computer
- Before compiling the firmware, you need to
connect to the upper computer's SSH via wifi.
- First, please: Connect to the upper computer's SSH via wifi
- USB Firmware Flashing
- Manually Compile USB Firmware
USB Firmware Flashing
- The FLYOS-FAST system comes with a pre-compiled USB firmware, so manual compilation is not required. You can flash the firmware by executing the command below.
- Alternatively, you can choose to
manually compile the USB firmware.
- Connect to the upper computer via SSH and enter the following command:
fly-flash -d auto -h -f /usr/lib/firmware/klipper/stm32h723-128k-usb.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 useroot. Switch to a regular user:su <username> - FLY Host Machine (FlyOS-FAST System)
Only supports logging in as therootuser (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 |
Below is how to compile the firmware:
-
After connecting to SSH, enter the following command and press the
Enterkey:cd ~/klipper && rm -rf ~/klipper/.config && rm -rf ~/klipper/out && make menuconfig -
Here,
rm -rf ~/klipper/.config && rm -rf ~/klipper/outdeletes previous compilation data and firmware, andmake menuconfigcompiles the firmware. After execution, the following interface should appear:Loading... -
Select
Enable extra low-level configuration optionsand press theEnterkey:Loading... -
Enter the
Micro-controller Architecturemenu, then selectSTMicroelectronics STM32and press theEnterkey:Loading... -
Enter the
Processor modelmenu, selectSTM32H723and pressEnter:Loading... -
Select
Bootloader offsetand choose:128KiB bootloader:Loading... -
Select
Clock Reference (8 MHz crystal)and choose:25 MHz crystal:Loading... -
For
Communication interface, select:USB (on PA11/PA12):Loading...
- Press the
Qkey, and when Save configuration appears, press theYkey:Loading... - The configuration should now be saved and you will exit to the command line interface.
- Enter the following command to start compilation. It will take some time:
make -j4
- If the following content is output, the compilation is successful:
- Due to Klipper version differences, as long as
out/klipper.binappears, it indicates success:Linking out/klipper.elf
Creating bin file out/klipper.bin
Firmware Flashing
Execute the following command to flash the firmware.
fly-flash -d auto -h -f /data/klipper/out/klipper.bin
Searching for USB ID
- Open a browser, enter the IP address of the host computer in the address bar. For example, if the host IP is
192.168.101.179, type it directly and press Enter.
- Access the host's WEB interface. In the configuration options on the left sidebar, find:

- Click on
printer.cfg, then clickDEVICESin the top right corner.

- Click
SERIAL, then refresh.

Filling in the USB ID
The ID below is NOT usable!!!!
serial: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0
- Close
DEVICESand fill in the ID.
- In the configuration file, change:
[mcu]
serial: /tmp/klipper_host_mcu
- to:
[mcu host]
serial: /tmp/klipper_host_mcu
- And add:
[mcu]
serial: <Replace here with the ID you just queried>

- Fill the ID into the configuration.
- After filling in the ID, click
SAVE & RESTARTin the top right corner.

- If Klipper reports
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.
Note: All IDs appearing in this document are examples. The actual ID for each mainboard is different. Please fill in the ID you actually obtained.
