I recently updated the klipper install on my V2.4, and now I keep getting "Klipper reports: STARTUP" which eventually gets replaced with mcu 'rpi' : unable to connect. I'm not sure how to proceed from here
#Issues with klipper after update

generally that means you don't have the rpi software mcu installed

Just went through and tried all that, no luck, issue persists

Klipper log?
harsh beacon
true glacier
Well, it's showing that it can't find the klipper_host_mcu file, which means the service isn't running.
(Generally)
harsh beacon
How could I go about fixing that?
true glacier
Installing it per the link from earlier
So we need to figure out what's gone wrong
What does systemctl status klipper-mcu say?
harsh beacon
That log I posted was from AFTER filling the instructions in the link from earlier
true glacier
I understand
Which is why I'm saying something must have gone wrong
Hence, the first diagnostic step is the question I just asked
true glacier
@harsh beacon do you understand what I'm asking for? Just the output of a simple shell command that will likely help us understand what's happening.

Ya sorry was driving home from running errands, just sat down at my computer, stand by

Okay, so the actual executable isn't present
Can you go back to the steps where you built and " flashed" the software mcu
Run the make flash again, and grab a screenshot?
harsh beacon
is this what you mean?
true glacier
Yes and no
That's make menuconfig, not make flash
But more importantly, it's not setup the way you're told to set it up in the link I gave you earlier
That's still configured for flashing your (I'm guessing) octopus, certainly not the software mcu
harsh beacon
hmm
Oh I see, I missed the "set to linux process"
That seems to have done it
I appreciate the help!
