new manta m8p v1.1 addition in the configurator is not responsive
the dfu flashing is not responsive as well as sd card flashing. you cant check the board status or compile the firmware. if you click the button it does nothing. for some reason it just doesnt work. ive tried manually flashing but ive been in the weeds for 7 hours. any help would be awesome cause ive been waiting to use my new manta board with the added features. thanks for the support guys. i know im not the only one that will be grateful for any guidance

I had the same problem but went on with the installation. Once I had all the software it flashed the board through the updates. You do have to initialize the board for flashing by pressing and holding the Boot button and then pressing reset button as found on the Github page. Had I known this initially it may have flashed my board since I was able to compile the firmware, but got stuck. My board has a CM4 so if you have a CB1 it may be different. Anyway, the GitHub page: https://github.com/bigtreetech/Manta-M8P/commit/5f71dab57bf2272c5b7242545a866fb43fdcdb8d#diff-737defb4153e32d56b5674842702519cc5151a9fe3f54bc60d34d69a2796cb58 You could try the SD card again just initialize the motherboard for flashing. P.S. I have the 1.1 version.
looking into it
@Moskeeter407 @snrr please update RatOS through the mainsail machine tab and try the configurator again.
scripts were missing executable permission and the PR that added m8p-11 messed up git line endings so the dfu boot images were broken.
I will take steps to ensure that can't happen in the future

ive been lurking on here since i got my 500 in december and ive watched you hold all or most of our hands getting our machines running well and i have to take my hat off for the commitment youve been showing to making ratos successful. i promise you we all appreciate every single tweak you make no matter how small because at least one person will be impacted positively. btw you fixed the manta issue and my new board with built in can is purring like a kitten. i just thought you deserved credit for your effort because you and Keck are the heart of this community

i just thought you should get some overdue praise and recognition. im tired of seeing your threads end up with you helping someone and nnot even seeing so much as a "thank you" at the end. i also know you probably arent being paid which means your supporting your community and i want to reward that behaviour
hopefully that puts a little more gas in the tank than i took out of it
And thank you from me as well. I can confirm the firmware is now available through configurator set up and also I flashed it again through mainsail.

mcu 'mcu': Unable to open serial port: [Errno 2] could not open port /dev/btt-manta-m8p: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/btt-manta-m8p'
What i'm doing wrong
Use the configurator (at /configure).
Also that is v1.0 not v1.1
(which would be /dev/btt-manta-m8p-11)
You're probably including the wrong board

I've 1.0 , so, i've just fixed it, The Linux image didn't do very well and for some reason cursed at a non-existent repository. I overwrote the image and did everything again, now everything works, but so far I have other problems.
Can I write here or is it better to create a separate topic?
I just have a power supply for 36V motors, yes, I know, I took the voltage less than the nominal voltage, because I have simple 5160s, and not those that are a separate module. And not HV modification.
Should I create my own configuration files in an appropriately named folder ?
Does the cm4/cb1 recognise the usb ports of the manta as its own? How do you go about connecting a tool board for example in this use case
Separate topic. You need to make your own configs for 36V yes, you decide the folder name, although the 24V configs may work fine.
The USB hub on the manta is connected to the CM4/CB1, yes.
Use them like it was a regular pi, just plug the toolboard into the usb port.
Thanks! I was just curious in case I decide to upg to a manta down the road
