![Switch in `UPDATE` position](images/aswx2-switch-in-update-position.jpg)

5. Plug the USB cable labelled `UPDATE` to the printer


## Firmware build and update
1. SSH to the ASWX2 Raspberry

2. Stop Klipper service
```
#> sudo service klipper stop
```

3. Browse to Klipper directory:
```
#> cd ~/klipper
```

4. Pull the last version of the Klipper firmware from Github:
```
#> git pull
```

5. Clean up working directory before building firmware
```
#> make clean
```

6. Check the firmware build configuration 
```
#> make menuconfig
```
![Klipper firmaware build configuration](images/aswx2-klipper-firmware-config.png)

7. Build the firmaware:
```
#> make
```

8. Check printer's Ruby board is in DFU mode and can be updated 
```
#> lsusb
```
![Ruby board in DFU mode](images/aswx2-ruby-board-DFU-mode-USB.png)

9. Note the Ruby board device ID. In example above: `ID: 0483:df11`

10. Flash the new firmware to the printer's Ruby board using the above device ID:
```
#> make flash FLASH_DEVICE=0483:df11
```
![Klipper firmware flash outputs](images/aswx2-klipper-flash-output.png)

11. Restart Klipper service
```
#> sudo service klipper start
```

12. Check Klipper service is properly restarted
```
#> sudo service klipper status
```
