[BUG] Archim 2 Uploading to board but not working correctly

[AFprinter]

Bug Description

Upon completion of compiling Marlin in VSCode it will not upload to the board via USB.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Compile Marlin
2. Try to upload to Archim 2 board

**Expected behavior:**Completion of Upload of firmware to the board
Actual behavior: Fails

In platformio.ini is

[common_DUE_archim]
platform      = atmelsam
board         = due
src_filter    = ${common.default_src_filter} +<src/HAL/DUE>
build_flags   = ${common.build_flags}
  -DARDUINO_SAM_ARCHIM -DARDUINO_ARCH_SAM -D__SAM3X8E__ -DUSBCON
extra_scripts = ${common.extra_scripts}
  Marlin/src/HAL/DUE/upload_extra_script.py

It doesn't seem to need to the upload_extra_script.py anymore. In fact it seems to break windows uploading.
So change to

[common_DUE_archim]
platform      = atmelsam
board         = due
src_filter    = ${common.default_src_filter} +<src/HAL/DUE>
build_flags   = ${common.build_flags}
  -DARDUINO_SAM_ARCHIM -DARDUINO_ARCH_SAM -D__SAM3X8E__ -DUSBCON
extra_scripts = ${common.extra_scripts}

Can you confirm that this works for you also ?

I deleted the extra line as recommended and it actually connected this time but wont upload. Here's the new error.

[AFprinter]

To be clear I can upload a Marlin Bugfix from March that I've been using via Arduino IDE just fine, even as of today, so I know the board is working in programming mode. As of July 7 Bugfix I cannot use Arduino IDE for compiling or upload, something changed. And I've tried using the atmel-ice protocol as well as the SAM-BA that seems to be the default as selected in the platform.ini and both fail. The SAM-BA seems to get the furthest as it actually seems to make the connection to the board, it's just not pushing the file now, as per my last post.

P.S.- I seriously appreciate your help figuring this out.

[AFprinter]

So after messing with this a little bit, I changed
board = due
to
board = dueUSB

and I got it to upload but now after restarting the printer the screen is just displaying random crap on the LCD (yes I double checked that the correct LCD was uncommented)

and the y axis only moves in one direction (endstops are open) no matter which way I tell it to move in octoprint (yes I can connect via octoprint). I can move the x axis in both directions and the z axis in both directions. I can also interface with Marlin via the Octoprint terminal and use commands.

Those are some goofy symptoms. Have you compared the configuration and pins files from the two versions?

The issue with the pins is also called out in #19215, these are the same root problems.

Archim2 requires a special Arduino DUE environment, as it uses pins 92+ (these pins are beyond the normal Arduino DUE pins). See line https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/blob/2.0.x/Marlin/Makefile#L698 for example showing the inclusion of variants.cpp which I assume solves the problem(?). I put more details in #19215.

I'm not sure on the correct way to solve this as I'm not too familiar with either PlatformIO build system, or Marlin (new to both!).

[colinoflynn]

A workaround for this is in #19215 if it's still an issue for you.

#19545 and #19546 might have helped these two issues. We had the same problems (bossac error and steopers not moving) and they seem to be fixed now (on archim 1)

[sjasonsmith]

Several related fixes were introduced recently, and there haven’t been any replies regarding this still being an issue since before those were made.

I am going to close this, as I suspect it is fixed from comments made by @jeffeb3 and @colinoflynn.

Please let me know if this action was incorrect.
