Build Help Thread

[xC0000005]

Steps:

1. Download and install the Arduino IDE from https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
   In the Arduino IDE, under preferences (Mac, no idea for Windows), add the following additional boards manager url: https://github.com/stm32duino/BoardManagerFiles/raw/dev/STM32/package_stm_index.json

2. From Tools->Board->Choose “Board Manager.”

3. Install the STM Microsystems Core. You know it’s the right one because it even says it supports the M200 V1 and V2.

4. Download Marlin 2.x + a few M200 fixes. This won’t always be necessary but I have a few fixes not in main yet. From https://github.com/xC0000005/Marlin/tree/M200Fixes, choose “Clone or download” and download it somewhere.

5. Open the Marlin project in the Arduino IDE by choosing File->Open and browsing to wherever you downloaded Marlin.

6. Make sure you have the right external library and USB settings selected. If your printer works but the LCD won’t show temperatures, you didn’t. Your board should be the appropriate one for your printer (early run V2s use the V1 board setting). USART->Enabled (generic Serial), USB support -> “CDC (no generic Serial)”, USB speed->”Low/Full Speed”, C Runtime Library must be a version that includes Float Printf for now.
   

7. Customize your configuration.h. In this particular branch, it’s already set up for an early run V2 but if you have a V1 you’ll need to make changes to the steps per unit.

8. From the Sketch Menu, choose Export Compiled Binary. It will take a while.

9. When it’s done, look near the end for a line like this:

10. arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary /var/folders/2w/45wss0310nbfs7dbvg2mv01c0000gn/T/arduino_build_780815/Marlin.ino.elf /var/folders/2w/45wss0310nbfs7dbvg2mv01c0000gn/T/arduino_build_780815/Marlin.ino.bin - that’s your firmware, “Marlin.ino.bin”

11. Make sure the X and Y limit switches are not closed by moving the bed slightly forward and the x carriage to the right a bit. If you do not do this, the bootloader will wait, attempting to update the LCD.

12. For a V1, this file needs to be copied to your SD card as “update.bin.” If you choose to build for a V2 to test it, it would be “firmware.bin”. Otherwise, it’s identical to any other reflash (put a file called fcupdate.flg on the root of the sd card, restart, etc).

13. Your first sign it’s working will be when you see a version number of 99 on restart.

If you have Windows, you can use the Arduino Portable installation here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjuNQlXUvQuaq-45AF_Nwk7l9XIhag

I just compiled and flashed (previously was stock V41) from e03432b and I did not get the message on the LCD with version number "V99". Even though I see this response in OctoPrint:

Recv: FIRMWARE_NAME:Marlin bugfix-2.0.x (Github) SOURCE_CODE_URL:https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin PROTOCOL_VERSION:1.0 MACHINE_TYPE:Malyan M200 EXTRUDER_COUNT:1 UUID:cede2a2f-41a2-4748-9b12-c55c62f367ff

And this seems to be success regardless.

[xC0000005]

In configuration.h, is MALYNA_LCD enabled?

I have a clean working tree, same state as remote.

[xC0000005]

After you flash the first time, try removing the SD card and restarting. The UI only waits a limited amount of time and flashing often takes longer.

Another possibility is that you have the X and Y limit switches closed, so the bootloader is trying to update the UI firmware. Remove the SD card, move X and Y so they're not closed, and restart, see if it works.

I've started messing with marlin again and used your portable package for building. Worked like a charm, but every second time you launch the IDE, the STM32 boards are gone. If you download them from the repository, select "3D Printer Boards" and "Malyan M200" (in my case v1), upon building it says that it can't open printer boards because they're not found.

It appears that opening the board manager alone is enough to let it "forget" the old STM library.

[xC0000005]

I’ll look into this - ti’s probably some bug in Arduino, and I’ll run it down if I can. As of a day or so ago, Marlin Main should generally speaking “just work” for the M200. The readme.md in the Malyan config directory is really the prereq - ever since 1.6.0 of the ST Arduino core, M200 support has just worked for V1 and V2. There’s some work that needs to happen for V3 and late V2 failsave (and M300) but V1/V1 early run/V2 mid run should “just work”.

Okay, tried some more. I can build with STM 1.6.1 and latest marlin bugfix branch when using the 1.8.9 IDE. I can't build using the beta 1.9 IDE from the portable package and the included STM (I guess it's 1.6.0-dev?) once I opened the board manager or closed and reopened the IDE. In the latter case I get the "board not found" error. So it seems to be just the portable version.

[xC0000005]

Ok. I can repro this but I haven’t had a chance to debug the IDE to see what the heck it’s doing.

anyupdate on this? I tried a few diff version of the SMT32 core, but all give the same board 3dprinter is unknown in IDE 1.90

[fritztoch]

I am stuck at Step 4. I have downloaded Marlin 2.x, and I have downloaded M200Fixes. Am I supposed to merge the two folders? The instructions don't say what to do with M200Fixes.

Hi has this been fully tested on Marlin 2.0 or does this only work on the bugfix 2.0 branch? Ive got a M200 V2 and when I upgrade the firmware with the example config the system keeps resetting and I'm unable to control the motors from the LCD screen.

[xC0000005]

It fails on 2.0 due to a stepper issue I haven't had time to debug (but oddly, the M300 appears to work??).

[fritztoch]

Got a successful build with STM32 1.6.1 and Arduino 1.8.10 (and remembering to set the C Runtime Library to Printf). Web interface won't move any axis but can preheat. Front panel controls work for preheat, move E and Z. Home X & Y works too but is slow. This is a V2.
