Fix for not flashing new firmware on new board (August stock firmware)

When my v3 board arrived then fitted the board work fine, but when it came time to upgrade the firmware, for some reason no amount things I tried with the same SD card I was already using with the v1.2 would flash. The printer simply started normally igoring the new firmware - I tried both my own custom firmware and the newer stock versions from BTT. This is what I did to fix the problem:

Get the stock version of the latest firmware from BTT
Using an SD card 4GB or lower, format it to FAT not FAT32
Copy the new firmware to the SD card
Flash the firmware This then worked for me and I then tried the same with my custom firmware and it to flashed fine. Afterwards I was even able to format the card back to FAT32 and it was still able to read from it.

Marlin 2.0 Bugfix Branch

Not for production use. Use with caution!

Marlin 2.0 takes this popular RepRap firmware to the next level by adding support for much faster 32-bit and ARM-based boards while improving support for 8-bit AVR boards. Read about Marlin's decision to use a "Hardware Abstraction Layer" below.

This branch is for patches to the latest 2.0.x release version. Periodically this branch will form the basis for the next minor 2.0.x release.

Download earlier versions of Marlin on the Releases page.

Building Marlin 2.0

To build Marlin 2.0 you'll need Arduino IDE 1.8.8 or newer or PlatformIO. We've posted detailed instructions on Building Marlin with Arduino and Building Marlin with PlatformIO for ReArm (which applies well to other 32-bit boards).

Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)

Marlin 2.0 introduces a layer of abstraction so that all the existing high-level code can be built for 32-bit platforms while still retaining full 8-bit AVR compatibility. Retaining AVR compatibility and a single code-base is important to us, because we want to make sure that features and patches get as much testing and attention as possible, and that all platforms always benefit from the latest improvements.

Submitting Patches

Proposed patches should be submitted as a Pull Request against the (bugfix-2.0.x) branch.

This branch is for fixing bugs and integrating any new features for the duration of the Marlin 2.0.x life-cycle.
Follow the Coding Standards to gain points with the maintainers.
Please submit Feature Requests and Bug Reports to the Issue Queue. Support resources are also listed there.
Whenever you add new features, be sure to add tests to buildroot/tests and then run your tests locally, if possible.
- It's optional: Running all the tests on Windows might take a long time, and they will run anyway on GitHub.
- If you're running the tests on Linux (or on WSL with the code on a Linux volume) the speed is much faster.
- You can use make tests-all-local or make tests-single-local TEST_TARGET=....
- If you prefer Docker you can use make tests-all-local-docker or make tests-all-local-docker TEST_TARGET=....

License

Marlin is published under the GPL license because we believe in open development. The GPL comes with both rights and obligations. Whether you use Marlin firmware as the driver for your open or closed-source product, you must keep Marlin open, and you must provide your compatible Marlin source code to end users upon request. The most straightforward way to comply with the Marlin license is to make a fork of Marlin on Github, perform your modifications, and direct users to your modified fork.

While we can't prevent the use of this code in products (3D printers, CNC, etc.) that are closed source or crippled by a patent, we would prefer that you choose another firmware or, better yet, make your own.
