Greetings all;
Hi Gene :)
debian bullseye, on a i5 machine, uptodate a/o yesterday.
trying to build marlin for a newer board in a 3d printer, static blew the
Robin Nano 1.2 board that drove a two trees sapphire 5 plus. The blown
board has been replaced with a newer Robin Nano 3.1 board, with TMC2209
motor drivers.
I've had pip3 install platformio but cannot find instructions of how to
start from square one.
If you're installing from pip3 - you are probably on your own. Anything you
install from pip, you generally have to debug by yourself.
Understood, I should go pester the python list then.
I have available, several banana pi m5's if that would be a more suitable
platform. And I build LinuxCNC from fresh git pulls on an rpi4b regularly,
so I'm not a newbie for arm stuff.
Are the banana pi m5's or the Robin Nano _actually_ running Debian?
If they're not, and running Armbian or similar: you're once again on your
own and will need to ask their support channels.
Armbian, which is equ to testing. And like the rpi world, no mailing
list, only forums. And you can get banned for years asking about a
realtime kernel. That is not a foundation approved topic.
So I did my own, first on this planet, including figuring out my own
installer too. The uncompressed tarball is about 28 megs. Its on my web
page.
Marlin has switched to an autoconfig of sorts, two methods of building,
platformio, and visual studio.
The Debian wiki is your friend here for Visual Studio.

I'd druther stay out of that pigpen. Not near enough lipstick. History
teaches me well. NT-3.51 had a habit of its late night housekeeping
deleting 3.51's main .dll. I called Redmond and asked for just that
library. And got accused of being a pie-rat. So Bill and I agreed to
disagree nearly 30 years ago. Bills product has improved since, a lot,
but not enough to interest me.
It's a very popular development environment but it comes from Microsoft -
so once again, you may be on your own. I would strongly suggest using
the simple .deb package rather than snapd or flatpak. It is also
available for arm64 and armhf (probably built for Ubuntu), but, as ever
your mileage may vary.
debs for this do not exist. The Marlin zip from github is around 150
megs and needs another 50megs or so for config files as it covers at
least 500 various printers in 5 or 6 basic architectures. There's
another maker under every juniper bush.
Or whatever they are called in your locale. ;o)>
I do use a couple AppImages, but from what I've read about snap calling
home scares me. OpenSCAD and digiKam run fine as AppImages yet are many
versions newer than your repo's offer. The difference in OpenSCAD? The
current, about 30 day old AppImage is about 100x faster that your repo's
nearly 2 yo version. The repo version of digikam crashes accessing my
camera, the ApppImage Just Works. I know nothing about flatpack.
One path involves Visual Studio which does not seem to be available for
debian, so it appears the platformio path is the one to follow. But step by
step instructions are pretty slim.
Can anyone help get me started?
See above.
See mine. :0>
Take care and stay well Andrew. I hope we both have a better 2023.
Thank you.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
And cheers to you - and all best wishes for 2023
