Assertion error #61

orrinwitt · 2022-08-15T18:09:24Z

I'm suddenly unable to upload firmware to my Archim2 board using the Auto Build Marlin extension in Visual Studio Code. I keep getting this "Assertion Error" which seems to suggest that PlatformIO isn't finding or correctly identifying my board (I'm guessing).

I tried building and uploading the last Marlin that I knew worked, and still got the error, so it can't be something from the new version of the Marlin firmware. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extensions, VSCode, and even tried it with a different computer that had never had it installed on it before (so it was a truly fresh install). Still got the same "Assertion error".

Has something changed in either the Auto Build Marlin or the PlatformIO extensions that has broken something? Am I the only one having this issue?

See the output below. If you need something else to help diagnose the problem, let me know.

Update: This must be a platformio issue. I tried using the marlin firmware updater plugin for Octoprint on my Rpi, and it threw the same error. Still not sure what to make of it though or where to even start to diagnose how to fix it.

here's the output from the aforementioned plugin:

You'll need to update your gcc installation to version 12 following the instructions in the latest native.ini in bugfix-2.1.x.

I know this issue is closed, but I'm not sure how to do that... And I'm still getting this error no matter what I do. Even with different computers.

orrinwitt · 2022-10-28T20:14:10Z

Can I please get some help with this?? I've completely exhausted everything I know to do, including starting from scratch with a new firmware build (freshly unzipped). I have learned stuff along the way, but nothing that has made any difference. Still getting this error:

This would've been an issue with Marlin INI settings or more likely with PlatformIO, and not with ABM which simply invokes the PlatformIO build. If this is still a problem please file the issue over at the main project.
