Basic Information:

Printer Model: Custom
MCU / Printerboard: BTT SKR-PRO 1.2 (stm32f407xx)
Host / SBC: Raspberry Pi 4
klippy.log: not applicable

Describe your issue:

Cannot update via flash-sdcard.sh anymore since 2 days. Might be connected to software_spi: set rate limiting ticks from the host · Klipper3d/klipper@abc76ee · GitHub

Command “./flash-sdcard.sh /dev/ttyAMA0 btt-skr-pro-v1.2” now fails with:

I have the same issue and I can confirm, that reverting software_spi: set rate limiting ticks from the host · Klipper3d/klipper@abc76ee · GitHub fixes the issue.

This is probably a fix.

Hope that helps.

Indeed, that’s the fix. I experimented with those lines before too as is didn’t seem to make a lot of sense to add what’s been sent, but I didn’t remove that line. Silly me. Thank you!
