Can't update Octopus v1.1 firmware

I've got a minion I just built running RatOS and the BTT Octopus v1.1 board. In the setup wizard I'm currently on "CONTROL BOARD PREPARATION". I've comiled the firmware, downloaded, copied it to the sdcard. It's called firmware.bin , but when in the wizard I hit "Check board status" it never does anything. I can't get past this screen. I've tried a couple of times, each time the control board is renaming the firmware.bin file to FIRMWARE.CUR. I did a diff and the two files are identical. So the board is picking up the firmware file it appears. But klipper isn't seeing it? In the ui I get an error "mcu 'mc': Unable to connect".

I finally got this. Not sure what combination of black magic made it happen though

Any idea what you did? I am reflashing my whole system because I broke something when updating but have been unable to get klipper to work with the rpi or SD card methods I ended up only using the config wizard to add my wifi network and then flashed manually via sd and did the setup stuff through the ratOS main interface and all seems to work now... not sure why the config wizard wouldnt see the octopus 1.1. Klipper screen doesn't seem to work now though...
