Hi,  
I am getting this error:

Your Klipper version is: v0.12.0-404-g80d185c94-dirty  
MCU(s) which should be updated:  
mcu: Current version v0.12.0-404-g80d185c94  
EBBCan: Current version v0.12.0-404-g80d185c94  
scanner: Current version Cartographer 4.0.0  
Up-to-date MCU(s):

I got that after flashing updated FW on the mainboard and the SB2209 so I tought I did a mistake somewhere. I have reinstalled klipper from scratch (with KIAUH) to try to fix this and everything was going well until I rebooted. After the reboot the same error showed up again.

This is my first printer with klipper and I am totally lost right now. I also know that my cartographer is outdated, it all began because I was trying to update the FW but klipper could not see it on can0 after the last update.

git describe do not show the “dirty” tag but still I tryed “git reset --hard 80d185c94” without success.

The printer was working perfectly before the update.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

After fighting with it most of the day I reinstalled Armbian + Klipper for a 3rd time and for some reasons it is now working.

One thing I noticed was that it seemed to be the cartographer install script that was screwing up Klipper. On my second reinstall everything was working untill I run the script. On the third time I updated the cartographer FW before installing the script and now Kliper isn’t seen as dirty. Is it the true cause, I have no idea but it’s working now so I’m happy.
