Brief Guide to Firmware Compilation
Notes
- Network: Ensure the host (Raspberry Pi, etc.) is connected to the internet.
- Login Method: Must log in via SSH over the network; serial port access is disabled.
- Input Method: Keep the keyboard in English half-width mode.
SSH Login and User Switching
Use tools like MobaXterm, PuTTY, etc., to SSH into the host.
Switch User:
- Standard System (Official Raspberry Pi system, etc.)
Do not useroot; switch to a regular user:su <username> - FLY Host System (FlyOS-FAST system)
Only supports login asrootuser (password:mellow)
Firmware Compilation Operation Guide
In the Klipper firmware configuration interface, only keyboard operations are supported; the mouse cannot be used.

Start Firmware Compilation
The following describes how to compile the firmware:
-
After connecting via SSH, enter the following command and press Enter:
cd ~/klipper && rm -rf ~/klipper/.config && rm -rf ~/klipper/out && make menuconfig -
rm -rf ~/klipper/.config && rm -rf ~/klipper/outremoves previous compilation data and firmware -
make menuconfigcompiles the firmware, after execution the following interface should appearLoading... -
Select Enable extra low-level configuration options and press Enter
Loading... -
Enter the Micro-controller Architecture menu, then select STMicroelectronics STM32 and press Enter
Loading... -
Enter the Processor model menu, select STM32F407 and press Enter

- Press the
Qkey, when Save configuration appears, press theYkeyLoading... - The configuration should now be saved and you should return to the command line interface
- Enter the following command to start compilation, it will take some time
make -j4
- The following output at the end indicates successful compilation
- Due to Klipper version issues, as long as
out/klipper.binappears, it indicates successLinking out/klipper.elfCreating bin file out/klipper.bin
Flash Firmware
Preparation
- Before starting to burn the firmware, please first connect via SSH using the network
- Off-brand memory cards may cause burning failures. Please try to use the recommended memory cards below to update the firmware.
- You need to prepare a TF card with a capacity not exceeding
32G, and it is recommended that the transfer speed of the TF card must beclass10or above. It is recommended to use TF cards from brands such as SanDisk.
Downloading the Firmware
-
Use the previously prepared TF card.
-
Format it using

Use MobaXterm_Personal to find the
klipperdirectory in the file list on the left, then select it, find and open theoutfolder.- Firmware Download Directory for Standard Systems
- Firmware Download Directory for FlyOS-FAST System
Caution- Notes for standard systems
- This applies to standard host systems such as Raspberry Pi and FLY Pi.
- The compiled firmware is located in the
/home/<your host username>/klipper/out/directory.

Power off the motherboard and insert the TF card into the motherboard.
-
Power on the motherboard and wait for 10 seconds.
-
Remove the TF card and insert it into the computer. If the
firmware.binfile on the SD card disappears and a file namedFLY.CURappears, the burning is successful.Loading...
