If the SpeederPad does not work properly during the process of upgrading or modifying it, you can try to use the method in this tutorial to re-flash the image .
-
If you need to make some upgrades and your own modifications to the PAD, we strongly recommend making modifications in our published image system to ensure compatibility in later versions.
-
For the security of your system, it is recommended that you change the password in time after downloading and flashing the image. If you do not need to modify the system, it is recommended that you close the SSH service. Enter "sudo systemctl disable ssh" in SSH and restart it to take effect.

27.After the parameter configuration is completed, press "Q" to save, and then press "Y" to confirm.
28.If the comments at the top of the printer configuration file describe special steps for "flashing" the final firmware image to the printer control board, then follow those steps.
29.The steps of burning are mentioned in the configuration file, and we should follow the steps of the configuration file.
30.Start compiling the firmware by entering the following commands:
make
31.Find the location where the firmware is stored.
32.Find the firmware in the "/home/pi/klipper/out/" directory obtained on the left side of the MobaXterm software.
33.Run the mentioned command at the command prompt as instructed by the configuration documentation.
34.Start compiling the firmware by entering the following commands:
./scripts/update_mks_robin.py out/klipper.bin out/Robin_nano.bin
35.Prepare a TF card and insert it into the computer.

41.Usually after the firmware is successfully flashed, the original screen does not work.
42.Usually, after the firmware is installed successfully, the file with the “.BIN “ in the TF card will become the “.CUR “.
43.If your motherboard has no BootLoader and is not an SD card upgrade, please use the following method to upload the firmware.
44.Please unplug all connected devices from the USB port on the Speeder Pad first.
45.Connect the printer to the "Port1" USB port of Speeder Pad with a USB cable. Please keep connection during the firmware upgrade.
46.In the SSH command prompt window, enter the following commands (input one at a time):
cd ~/klipper/
make menuconfig
47.The following steps can refer to the content of steps 3-26 in this part of the tutorial.
48.Select parameters such as chip structure, chip model, Bootloader offset, external clock, communication port, etc.
(Use mega2560 as a demonstration, please follow the motherboard configuration)
49.After the parameter configuration is completed, press "Q" to save, and then press "Y" to confirm.
50.Start compiling the firmware by entering the following commands (input one at a time):
make clean
make
51.Enter the following command to start getting serial port information:
ls /dev/serial/by-id/*
52.It should report something like:
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0
53.For common microcontrollers, the firmware can be flashed using something like the following (input one at a time):
service klipper-1 stop
make flash FLASH_DEVICE=/dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0
service klipper start
54.Be sure to update the FLASH_DEVICE parameter with the printer's unique serial port name.
55.Upgrade has been completed:
1.Create a new folder and rename the folder to "Printer Model + Size + Leveling Method",For example Flsun-Q5, the size is 200200200, and the leveling method is Autolevel, then the folder name is "Flsun-Q5 pro 200200200 Autolevel".
2.The folder contains two files, one is firmware, usually ending with .bin, and the other is printer.cfg. Please write the options for compiling firmware at the beginning of printer.cfg, for example:
# This file contains common configurations and pin mappings
# for the Flsun Q5 using the MKS Robin Nano board.
# To use this config, the firmware should be compiled for the
# STM32F103. When running "make menuconfig", enable "extra low-level
# configuration setup", select the 28KiB bootloader, and serial (on
# USART3 PB11/PB10) communication.
# Note that the "make flash" command does not work with MKS Robin
# boards. After running "make", run the following command:
# ./scripts/update_mks_robin.py out/klipper.bin out/Robin_nano.bin
# Copy the file out/Robin_nano.bin to an SD card and then restart the
# printer with that SD card.
3.Compress this folder and send it to the specified mailbox:flsun_email@163.com
4.We will publish to Speeder Pad library after reviewd.
