Be sure to copy-and-paste the name from the "ls" command above as the

name will be different on each printer.

|

### The "make flash" command doesn't work.
|
||||
|
||||
The code attempts to flash the device using the most common method for
|
||||
each platform. Unfortunately, there is a lot of variance in flashing
|
||||
methods, so the "make flash" command may not work on all boards.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're having an intermittent failure or you do have a standard
|
||||
setup, then double check that Klipper isn't running when flashing
|
||||
(sudo service klipper stop), make sure Octoprint isn't trying to
|
||||
connect directly to the device (open the Connection tab in the web
|
||||
page and click Disconnect if the Serial Port is set to the device),
|
||||
and make sure FLASH_DEVICE is set correctly for your board (see the
|
||||
[question above](#when-i-restart-my-micro-controller-the-device-changes-to-devttyacm1)).
|
||||
|
||||
However, if "make flash" just doesn't work for your board, then you
|
||||
will need to manually flash. See if there is a config file in the
|
||||
[config directory](../config) with specific instructions for flashing
|
||||
the device. Also, check the board manufacturer's documentation to see
|
||||
if it describes how to flash the device. Finally, on AVR devices, it
|
||||
may be possible to manually flash the device using
|
||||
[avrdude](http://www.nongnu.org/avrdude/) with custom command-line
|
||||
parameters - see the avrdude documentation for further information.

||||

||||
### Can I run Klipper on something other than a Raspberry Pi?
|
||||
|
||||
Klipper only requires Python running on a Linux (or similar)
