Creality Ender 3 Pro – 4.2.X CPUs – 512K swapped out for 256K – WARNING POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARDS #23596
Comments
Have any other hardware changes been made? Adding a 256K variant is straight forward. |
Pardon my ignorance but why the flag "potential fire hazard" ? |
Overflashing could potentially lead to unexplained lockups with the heaters on. I didn’t experience that issue personally, but some folks did, so YMMV. |
Oh wow. Fair point!! I had not even considered that the firmware flash procedure would fail to check for out-of-bounds writes. Good lord. |
I've created a PR, so please test & report any issues: #23599 |

Did you test the latest
bugfix-2.0.x
code?Yes, and the problem still exists.
Bug Description
In Discord server a user was working on their machine and was having issues with the firmware. They posted a picture of the board and it revealed a lesser STM32 part number on that board. The 4.2.2 and 4.2.7 boards have all shipped with the STM32F103 RET6 CPUs since release. Now there is confirmation that 4.2.2 boards have shipped out from Creality with lesser 256K parts on them that are NOT safe to use with current Marlin and Unified firmware builds.
There are 4.2.2 (we would assume that 4.2.7s may have the lesser CPUs soon, we will be adding part number checks to the 4.2.7s that we sell going forward to make sure they have 512K parts on them) out in the wild with STM32F103 RCT6 CPUs. These CPUs are 256K parts whereas the RET6 versions were 512K parts.
