When compiling on Windows, the Atmel provided GCC based tool chain is recommended: https://github.com/eerimoq/avr-toolchain-windows , as the WinAVR contains an old GCC toolchain, which optimizes purely and the resulting binary does not fit the reserved FLASH space.


Programming the Caterina bootloader:

You may try to run

make program

or type

avrdude -p atmega32u4 -P usb -c usbasp -U flash:w:Caterina.hex

FIXME: The current bootloader is part of the "Original Prusa i3 MK3 Multi Material 2.0 upgrade" board definition for Arduino, see below, but the flashing of a boot loader from Arduino does not seem to work correctly. Fix it!


bootloader built for an initial timeout of 2 resp. seconds

Caterina-2sec-timeout.hex

Caterina-3sec-timeout.hex



Installing the "Original Prusa i3 MK3 Multi Material 2.0 upgrade" board into Arduino

...

arduino_debug.exe --pref build.path=output --upload --port COMxx --board PrusaResearch:avr:prusa_mm_control -v --preserve-temp-files MM-control-01.ino


Debugging the USB descriptors on Windows:

The following application is useful to inspect USB descriptors:

Programming the application into the MMU Control Board (on Linux):

If you have the modemmanager installed, you either need to deinstall it, or blacklist the Prusa Research USB devices:

/etc/udev/rules.d/99-mm.rules
# Original Prusa i3 MK3 Multi Material 2.0 upgrade
ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c99", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0003", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c99", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0004", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"

$ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

A request has been sent to Ubuntu, Debian and ModemManager to blacklist the whole Prusa Research VID space.
