Unsupported board - how to get thru the configuration wizard?
Hello all,
I run my VCore3 on Klipper for long and because I want to switch to a dedicated RaspberryPi2 for my printer (instead of my Pi4 homeserver running many things additionally) I tried the RatOS image. Works nice so far, but I cannot get past the configuration wizard because my board ( Mellow FLYF407ZG with Stm32f407zgt6 ) is not supported.
While I can get RatOS / Mainsail to work by replacing the printer.cfg with my established one, I cannot use for example the Realtime Analysis, because when I try to, I am redirected to the Configurator.
I tried to pick a board to get further ( Octopus Pro 429 as it also only has manual flashing ) - my board does not allow automatic flashing and when I try to generate a sd card flash image, I cannot get the "Check Board Status" to pass.
To sum up, Mainsail / Klipper work nicely, it is just that I cannot use extra features at the moment. Btw, I also switched to the Fluidd fork, as I'm used to it.
Any suggestion what I could do from here on?

For starters you will need to compile the board firmware manualy using the data from Mellow for it.
Then you can skip the board selection by changing the name on the address bar. Is there is something ended by 1, change to 2. Of 2, change to 3. Etc
Then you need to use the user override section to give klipper the propper pins for everything....

That should do it.
I hope soon to have time to include this board in the list.
Thank you for the hints! Do I still need to manually (re)flash the mcu using RatOS Configurator if it is already flashed thru a vanilla Klipper (running on another Pi)? The board is probably not very widespread but it would be great if I could use all features of RatOS nonetheless.
(if it helps I could send you my Klipper config for my board)
No. Since the board is not supported, you should skip that part.
