-  - Make sure the printer is up and running and accessible via ethernet through the web interface. 
-  - Open the web interface of your printer from your computer and switch to the "​Setup"​ tab. Here you find an "​Arduino Firmware Upload"​ form. 
-  - Select the .hex firmware file you would like to install and upload it to your printer through this form. 
-  - Tap the [[reprap-industrial-v1:​manual#​Manual Control|[Shutdown]]] button on the touch screen to power down the printer. 
-  - After the screen has gone black and the power-on button light has dimmed, shutdown is finished. 
-  - Now push the power button to boot up the system again. During boot-up the system will program the microcontroller board with the provided firmware file.\\

-==== Reflash USB-to-Serial chip firmware on RUMBA board  ==== 
- 
-=== Symptoms === 
- 
-  ** After booting the HT500, the status message on the touchscreen reads "​Offline"​. The log shows lines like 
-  .. <​code>​Connecting to RepRap Controller... 
-ERROR: Cannot send command - RepRap Controller not online! 
-ERROR: Could not connect to RepRap Controller - no port defined!</​code>​ 
-  ** On the RUMBA boards inside the electronics enclusure ([[reprap-industrial-v1:​manual#​Electronic chamber|see here]]), the pair of LEDs located nearest to the USB connector (tagged "​TX"​ and "​RX"​) are flashing alternately all the time 
- 
-=== Solution === 
-<WRAP group> 
-<WRAP half column> 
-For some reason yet unknown, the USB-to-Serial chip on the RUMBA board may very rarely either loose or corrupt its firmware and enter DFU mode (firmware programming mode), which is indicated by the alternately flashing TX/RX LEDs. The manufacturer of the boards - Reprapdiscount - provided a solution to this. 
-Chances are high that this can be resolved on-site by carrying out the following steps.

- 
-**Preparation** 
-<WRAP group> 
-<WRAP half column> 
- 
-First, the USB-to-Serial chip's programming mode has to be activated. Therefore: 
-  - Switch off the power supply unit (toggle main switch to **<​0>​**). 
-  - Bridge the to pins indicated in the adjacent picture with a jumper. 
-  - Switch on the power supply unit and wait until the BeagleBone BLACK has fully booted the operating system. 
-  - Pull the jumper off the pins. The TX/RX LEDs start flashing alternately again which this time means that the USB-to-Serial chip is ready for programming.

- 
-=== Software re-installation === 
-  -- Download all necessary files packed in one archive: 
-  .. {{ rumba_usb-to-serial_reflash.tar.gz }} 
-  -- Upload this archive to the BeagleBone Black linux computer inside the HT500 via sFTP protocol: 
-  .. **Protocol:​** ''​sFTP''​\\ **Host:** ''​rriXXXXXXXXXXXX''​ (see [[reprap-industrial-v1:​software-version-v1.1.0-operation-and-commissioning#​screenurl|Setup --> Backend-URL]] on the touchscreen) or the printers IP address (if known)\\ **User:** kiosk\\ **Password:​** eight-digit combination from the serial number at the back of the device. Take the first two four-digit blocks - ''​XX-AAAA-BBBB-CCCC-YYYY''​ becomes an ''​AAAABBBB''​ password.\\ **Target directory:​** ''/​home/​kiosk''​ 
-  -- Connect to the BeagleBone Black via SSH command line 
-  .. **Protocol:​** ''​SSH''​ (command line)\\ **Host:** ''​rriXXXXXXXXXXXX''​ (see [[reprap-industrial-v1:​software-version-v1.1.0-operation-and-commissioning#​screenurl|Setup --> Backend-URL]] on the touchscreen) or the printers IP address (if known)\\ **User:** kiosk\\ **Password:​** eight-digit combination from the serial number at the back of the device. Take the first two four-digit blocks - ''​XX-AAAA-BBBB-CCCC-YYYY''​ becomes an ''​AAAABBBB''​ password. 
-  -- Extract the files from the previously uploaded archive 
-  .. <​code>​tar xzvf ./​rumba_usb-to-serial_reflash.tar.gz</​code>​ 
-  -- Install the "​dfu-programmer"​ software package. Use your SSH password for sudo access. 
-  .. <​code>​sudo dpkg --install ./​dfu-programmer_0.6.1-1_armhf.deb</​code>​ 
-  -- Reprogram the USB-to-Serial chip 
-  .. <​code>​sudo dfu-programmer atmega16u2 flash ./​RRD-RUMBA_ATmega16U2_USB2Serial.hex</​code>​ 
-  .. Which should be confirmed with the following message if successful: 
-  .. <​code>​Validating... 
-4642 bytes used (37.78%)</​code>​ 
-  .. If you get this error message, the chip was not properly set into DFU mode or may be more permanently damaged - please contact //​Kühling&​Kühling//​ technical support for further help: 
-  .. <​code>​dfu-programmer:​ no device present.</​code>​ 
-  -- Shutdown the linux system 
-  .. <​code>​sudo shutdown -h now</​code>​ 
-  -- Switch OFF the power supply mains switch at the back of the machine. Wait at least 10 sec. 
-  -- Switch ON the power supply mains switch - the HT500 should boot up again as usual.
