Stuck at control board flashing
I was not able to flash my Octopus Pro 446 automatically, so I used an external SD card to flash the firmware. After a power cycle, the firmware.bin turned into firmware.cur, indicating that the Octopus Pro 446 was flashed successfully. However, RatOS still says Octopus Pro 446 was not detected. Clicking on "check board status" does nothing, and I cannot click next.

Here is my wiring, except I am using Raspberry Pi 3 A+
I have a feeling that this USB hub might be the culprit, but I don't get why it wouldn't work
did you already tried to find it in linux with lsusb for example
also, dmesg will help to check if the hub is the issue or not
Oh man, I don't know how that works, do I just type that into the pi?
ssh into the pi
then jsut execute
lsusb
this will list all recognized USB devices
yep, its not recognized
I'll try a different USB cable first, it looks like it is detecting the hub but not the board
try this, disconnect the hub from the PI, then execute
dmesg -w then reconnect the pi, the consoloe output should change, it tells you the USB connections status and any potential errors
sorry, not the hub, i mean disconnect the board from the hub
then run dmesg -w and reconnect the board to the hubHave you removed everything from the board except the USB cable and power in?
It detects as soon as I connect the MCU without the hub
The hub is indeed the problem
dmesg will tell you the exact issue
then we can probably fix it
it did found the board
strange that lsusb doesnt list it
@blacksmithforlife has maybe an idea, i believe he is more into linux than i am
I think it is probably more helpful to recommend some USB hubs that are proven to work without any problems and replace the hub
