I've updated the instructions on Duet firmware flashing, hopefully to make it a bit clearer: [www.reprappro.com]
However, I've removed the 'true' flag from the bossac command, as I have had reports this wasn't working, and was even on the phone to a customer and had to remove it (Windows 7, I think) to get the flash to work. The bossac instruction page also doesn't mention it, either: [www.shumatech.com]
I changed it from (Windows command):
I don't seem to have problems leaving 'true' in on Ubuntu, but then I haven't tried without; can anyone/someone test if it is necessary/not necessary on their OS? Please say what OS you have.
We are looking at ways to make the firmware updating easier. Unfortunately that will need a firmware update to get working!
