Describe your issue:

Hi,

I need help…

in some maintenance, I want to update Klipper on my MCU…

Fluid use
and the MCU is an Octopus Pro 429 (which can only be upgraded with Micro SD)

For this I am following the guide for Voron printers, but I do NOT get the options indicated in the guide.

Anyone know what might be happening?

Another question that I have, as indicated, I use an EBB42 as a CANBOARD… but I’m not sure if I also have to update it and how. Since if I had to update it, I suppose that I could do it from Fluidd

Thanks in advance

And you gave me the link with the information.

I have tried to follow the steps in (Frequently Asked Questions - Klipper documentation) and…

In secon point…

I have worked with others that have a F429 Octopus and updated the firmware via the RPi with special dfu-util command as well as F446 & H723 versions.

If you are trying to setup an Octopus F429, Klipper CAN bus bridge and a EBB tool head board, see my guide here.

I’m trying to follow the guide to update it… but I don’t know where the CanBoot folder is

It must be said that I have little experience with linux/rPi

Following the set up commands on the CanBoot GitHub will place it under your login home directory.

Follow my guide posted above, it provides a like to the CanBoot GitHub.

This means you have made changes to the source files in the Klipper folder and as such these cannot be updated automatically.
You can revert all such changes with
git reset --hard
as such it also means you need to redo whatever you changed.
