  • RaspberryPi
  • ST-Link V2
  • in machine → config files add printer.cfg and open it
  • paste:
  • printer.cfg
    # This file contains common pin mappings for the Anet ET4 printer for klipper.

  • save & close
  • note: i wasnt able to make this with openblt work, but i will update if i find a way
  • ssh into raspberry (use MobaXterm, it has an inbuild sftp client to pull the firmware)
  • cd klipper
    make menuconfig
  • choose settings:
  • [*] Enable extra low-level configuration options
    Micro-controller Architecture (STMicroelectronics STM32)
    Processor model (STM32F407)
    Bootloader offset (No bootloader)  --->
    Clock Reference (8 MHz crystal)  --->
    Communication interface (Serial (on USART1 PA10/PA9))  --->
    (112500) Baud rate for serial port
    ()  GPIO pins to set at micro-controller startup
  • type Q to exit, verify with Y
  • make
  • after its finished copy firmware.bin from /home/pi/klipper/out/ to your pc (via MobaXterm, Filezilla(port 22) or WinSCP)
  • attach your ST-Link to the printer
  • run STM32 ST-Link Utility
  • Target → Connect
  • backup your bootloader if you are coming from stock
    • select adress 0x08000000
    • left click Device Memory @ 0x08000000 → Save to file → original_bootloader.bin
  • Target → Program
    • Start Adress: 0x08000000
    • Filepath: your klipper.bin
    • Start
  • if you have problems connecting ST-Link after the successful flash, lower your Connection Frequency in Target → Settings
  • Thats it. Restart your printer and click firmware restart in mainsail
