config, and restart the host software.

Describe your issue:

I’ve been attempting to flash an ender 3 v2 with no luck.
I’ve tried:
multiple SD cards
reinstalled klipper
reinstalled the pi’s os
updated everything
yelled at it

Nothing has worked so far. I’m left with a screen that says creality, a blinking red probe, and no way to connect to printer.

Marlin flashes just fine with no issues. I just can’t get klipper to flash for some reason.

Any ideas of what to do or try here?

The Disable SWD setting is most likely incorrect unless you have visually verified that it is a GD chip on your board. Otherwise, see Issues flashing the printer board

GD as in Giga device right?

The board has a giga device chip on it.

I previously read through the page you link but it hasn’t been helpful for my issue unfortunately. I may have missed something but can’t quite figure out what that would be.

Is there any output I should expect from the printer on successful flash aside from it showing up in klipper?

I’ve also tried flashing the firmware binary found {here}(Support for new Creality boards 4.2.2 with GD32F303 - #30 by d00vy) but it doesn’t seem to work. I’ve tried with and without the LCD plugged in also.

Nothing shows up when I run ls /dev/serial/by-id/*

Ok.
So it turns out most all my micro use cables data transfer is broken except for the one I just tried.

That’s was likely the issue the entire time…

Now if you excuse me, I must scream at the heavens.
