Octopus pro v1.1 failed to connect to orange pi 3 lts

Hi guys, I'm writing from Kazakhstan, so I have to use a translator.

I ran into such a problem that I can't flash my octopus pro 1.1. As a host, I use orange pi 3 lts with Ubuntu server. It turned out that I flashed the board using a video from Dr.Klipper. But after updating the Klipper itself, octopus stopped being displayed in the system.

After that, I tried clearing all the files and repeating the steps in the video, but they didn't work. I also encountered the problem that Octopus was receiving power from the Orange Pi but wasn't transmitting data. Following advice from a Russian forum, I bought an ST-Link for direct communication with the processor. However, after completely clearing the flash memory of all old files, it didn't work. Before that, I installed the Catapult bootloader following Dr. Clipper's advice. But after deleting all the old files using ST-Link and loading the stock bootloader from GitHub, the problem persisted. As a result, I now only have Octopus with the stock bootloader and no ability to connect to the host. The command "lsusb" doesn't display anything.
After trying everything, I lost hope of successfully building my printer. I read and used a lot of information online and on Russian forums, but unfortunately, nothing helped. And this forum is my last hope.
I don't speak English very well, so I couldn't figure out what topic to post about. Please forgive me.
 
Hey there!
I would recommend using this side as a guide:
https://usb.esoterical.online/ and follow the steps outlined there.

First thing to check: Does the Octopus still appear via lsusb when in dfu mode?
If yes nothing bad happened yet :)

You might have selected the wrong chip when flashing katapult/klipper.
If you reference the site from above there are various versions of the octopus (including the pro version) outlined here: https://usb.esoterical.online/hardware_config/STM32/BTT_Octopus.html
Double check the stm32 chip version you have on your board and use the settings according to your chip version.
