BIGTREETECH EBB36/42 v1.0 (ST32F072C8)

Important notes about this board.

The probe port only supplies 5v so may not work with certain inductive probes.

Flashing the canboot firmware via DFU on EBB36/42 (ST32F072C8)

Before proceeding it is critical that your CAN network is configured for your printer, failure to setup the network will cause a problem when you try to connect devices :) click here and select your controller for setup instructions!

Generate the CANboot firmware file

  1. clone the CanBoot repository to your pi

    cd ~/
git clone https://github.com/Arksine/CanBoot

  2. run the following

    cd CanBoot
make menuconfig

  3. Configure your makefile for the EBB 36 / 42 v1.0 with STM32F072

    ../images/sht36-42__ebb36-42_v1.0.png

    Exit using ESC or Q, confirm with yes(Y)

  4. Build the firmware

    make clean

make

    ../images/f072_canboot_make.png

Hook up the Board for flashing

  1. Add the 5v jumper to the pins highlighted below

  2. Connect your device to your PI via USB

  3. Hold the RESET button and BOOT
    • Release Reset
    • Release Boot

  4. Verify the device is in bootloader moad by using lsusb
    • you should see something like 
         Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0483:df11 STMicroelectronics STM Device in DFU Mode

  5. Flash the canboot bootloader to the board YOUR DeviceID (0483:df11) may be different CHECK IT! (see step 2)

  6. ERASE AND FLASH THE CANBOOT FIRMWARE

    sudo dfu-util -a 0 -D ~/CanBoot/out/canboot.bin --dfuse-address 0x08000000:force:mass-erase:leave -d 0483:df11

    ../images/canboot_bootloader_flash.png

NOTE: If you see an error after the above, don’t worry its fine, provided you have the “File Downloaded Sucessfully” and text above

  1. Power off the board, and insert the CANBUS cable

** if you havent setup your network yet, NOW is your last chance before it becomes a problem, click here, and select your control board for instrutions, then return here and carry on :)**

  1. You can now power up your printer with the toolhead board attached via the appropriate wiring scheme using the H L 24v and gnd wires.

  2. Wait for the device to boot and ensure your CAN0 network is up and you can see the device

    ~/klippy-env/bin/python ~/klipper/scripts/canbus_query.py can0

    or

    ~/CanBoot/scripts/flash_can.py -i can0 -q

    You should see something like

    "Found canbus_uuid=XXXXXXXXXX, Application: CanBoot"

  3. Assuming the above gave you a UUID you can now flash Klipper to your board via CanBoot… (if not see the troubleshooting section here)

    cd ~/klipper
make menuconfig

    Enable low level configuratation set the following.

    ../images/sht_klipper_canboot.png

    Hit Q to exit and select Y to save changes.

    make clean
make

    You can now flash the board

    python3 ~/CanBoot/scripts/flash_can.py -i can0 -f ~/klipper/out/klipper.bin -u MYUUID

    ../images/canboot_flash.png

    If all is well you now have a klipper firmware on your SHT.

    To verify this you can query the canbus uuid with

    ~/klippy-env/bin/python ~/klipper/scripts/canbus_query.py can0

    You should see something like

    "Found canbus_uuid=XXXXXXXXXX, Application: Klipper"

Need a config here you go

Enjoy!
