### Basic Information: Printer Model: ender 3 s1 plus MCU / Printerboard: not sure, i have a rasp pi? Rasp Pi 3 Host / SBC rasp pi? klippy.log can’t get that i don’t think yet _Fill out above information and_ _ **in all cases attach your** _ **`klippy.log` _file_** (use zip to compress it, if too big). _Pasting your_ `printer.cfg` _is **not** needed_ _ **Be sure to check our “Knowledge Base” Category first. Most relevant items, e.g. error messages, are covered there** _ ### Describe your issue: …Okay, I have been referencing the Minimal 3DP videos from a couple years ago, and I’ve been humming. Klipper with mainsail, fluid, moonraker is up and running on the Pi. Got the pi hooked up. Currently building a firmware, done. I go to flash it and get this message. Not sure where I went wrong. Another question, in the second video he references using FTP to get the config file onto the klipper drive, but mine already showed up and was detected. Is that just unnecessary or outdated? I’m not sure if my device is in bootloader mode or not. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Forgive my thickness, I’m learning but some of the stuff is outdated or looks a bit different, and this is my first outing with all of this stuff. `###### Flashing '/dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0' ...` `###### Stop klipper.service ...` `[OK] OK!` `Creating symbolic link out/board` `Building out/autoconf.h` `Building hid-flash` `gcc -c -Wall -std=gnu99 -I . \`pkg-config libusb-1.0 --cflags` main.c -o main.o` `gcc -c -Wall -std=gnu99 -I . \`pkg-config libusb-1.0 --cflags` hid-libusb.c -o hid-libusb.o` `gcc -c -Wall -std=gnu99 -I . \`pkg-config libusb-1.0 --cflags` rs232.c -o rs232.o` `gcc -no-pie main.o hid-libusb.o rs232.o \`pkg-config libusb-1.0 --libs` -lrt -lpthread -o hid-flash` `Flashing out/klipper.bin to /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0` `Entering bootloader on /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0` `Device reconnect on /sys/devices/platform/soc/3f980000.usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.5/1-1.5:1.0/ttyUSB0` `sudo dfu-util -p 1-1.5 -R -a 2 -D out/klipper.bin` `dfu-util 0.11` `Copyright 2005-2009 Weston Schmidt, Harald Welte and OpenMoko Inc.` `Copyright 2010-2021 Tormod Volden and Stefan Schmidt` `This program is Free Software and has ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY` `Please report bugs to` [`http://sourceforge.net/p/dfu-util/tickets/`](http://sourceforge.net/p/dfu-util/tickets/) `dfu-util: Warning: Invalid DFU suffix signature` `dfu-util: A valid DFU suffix will be required in a future dfu-util release` `dfu-util: No DFU capable USB device available` `Failed to flash to /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0: Error running dfu-util` `If the device is already in bootloader mode it can be flashed with the` `following command:` `make flash FLASH_DEVICE=1eaf:0003` `OR` `make flash FLASH_DEVICE=1209:beba` `If attempting to flash via 3.3V serial, then use:` `make serialflash FLASH_DEVICE=/dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0` `make: *** [src/stm32/Makefile:107: flash] Error 255` `###### Start klipper.service ...` `[OK] OK!` `[ERROR] Flashing failed!` `[ERROR] See the console output above!` ---

Awesome! Had to take a break for a little, but will try this out and reply! -David DeLizza ---

Ok, tried it again, moved the klipper.bin onto the root of the sd and started up the printer, question though, just for clarity - When you’re mentioning the “SD” you’re referring to the standard sized SD on the front next to the usb port? In my little computer that’s stock, on the inside of the casing on the board there is a micro SD slot. Because other people have also referred to “The SD card” and i’m assuming it’s the front panel one. ---

> [@strikingtwice](#): > > casing on the board there is a micro SD slot. Because other people have also referred to “The SD card” and i’m assuming it’s the front panel one. ## On the mainboard or the display board? I’m not familiar enough with your machine to have much help but I ASSUME you use the slot you can access without taking anything apart. ---

I would guess there’s an SD card slot in the mainboard. ![Screenshot 2025-10-12 at 6.56.02 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/klipper/original/3X/c/7/c7306759dfb1097373151a33ea95595788e2053d.png) ---
