Flash control board via DFU
Hey, currently attempting to do the initial flash of the control board. I've followed the documentation to flash the RiPi and update all the packages in the proper order, however when I'm on the control board step of the wizard it's just stuck on "Waiting for DFU". The correct board is selected, the jumper is set and the board status light is now solid instead of blinking so I assume it's properly in DFU mode, but seems it's just not communicating? Under the electronics section of the build guide there's a couple comments with this exact problem but with no apparent resolution.

which board are you trying to flash? Have you tried using SD Card method instead?
Octopus V1.1 F446. I have not tried with an SD card, just curious about DFU since it was the "recommended" method.
I did vaguely see one response that connecting it to the +24v power supply fixed the flash via DFU but I have a hard time believing that
not hard to believe, if you don't have it powered well and then switch to a steady 24v then it makes sense it would start working
Could be, then the documentation is very misleading by telling people to flash the main board separately on a 5v power source. Guess ill continue on with the electronics and try it later with the 24v PS or an SD card.
which documentation are you referring to?
First slide.
I must be missing something, all those diagrams show the board hooked up to 24v. But in any case, only hook up the power to your board and the USB c cord from your pi. I don't recall is that octopus board has a jumper to get power from the USB c, but if it does that that off so you don't fry your board
