FW install of ver 1.05

1

I am usable to install 1.05 on my newly built Maslow 4.1 hardware. I have tried holding the boot button down with the USB-c attached and applying power.
I get a CMD screen but stuck at Resetting MCU.
What might I have missed?

You might try a different USB cable. Some cheaper cables are power only and not data. I had to get a different cable from the first one I selected. Also can try a different USB port on the computer too.

I too had issues installing the new firmware today. 1.0.5 relies on a repartitioned file system, so after making sure you have the correct USB cable:

  1. Download the zip file corresponding to your computer’s operating system (OS) from Release V1.05 · BarbourSmith/FluidNC · GitHub
  2. Unzip the download
  3. Open the resulting file and run install-fs.bat (on Windows)
  4. After it succeeds, you may have to run it twice, run full-install.bat (on Windows), again it may take running it twice to succeed.

Apologies if you already know this, but I had to cobble some old forum posts together earlier today and thought the process should be written out explicitly somewhere. I may have also run erase.bat somewhere in the process.

Thanks I’m looking for another USB-C cable to give the new version a try.

Appears the USB-C cable is good. I get the following CMD text
Any suggestions?

Operator error at this end!
I was attempting to execute the full-install.bat from within the .zip.
I am running WIN 11 on a 5-year-old HP laptop and in the end did not have to hold down the boot button at power-on, just the one .bat file installed the ver. 1.05 with its new file structure.
