No, I didnt buy a manta, just cb1. I was less enthusiastic about it, but you guys got me interested now.
heres my info dump
notes: i dont know if the remora linuxcnc component will work with non rpi soc's
Code:
Btt manta M8P
-Hardware wise it looks usable, they even put the spi pins right beside the rpi header. has mcu sd card also. uses cm4 footprint
-mcu is stm32g0b1 ,currently untested, mbed supports a version of this chip so maybe
-needs jumpers to spi
Code:
Fysetc Cheeta mix
-hardware wise it looks fine, similar to their other boards, cm4 spi broken out on rpi header, uses cm4 footprint
-mcu is stm32f401. should be fine, but i havent been able to get fysetc boards to work yet with remora wither their sd/spi setup.
-needs jumpers from spi to spi
Code:
MKS SKIPR
- hardware wise spi is broken out and there are 2 sd slots. has rk3328
-MCU is stm32f407, so well supported for remora. could work pretty easy but im having issues with another mks board re: sd card
- hardware wise i like this one the best
-needs jumpers

Code:
Mellow Gemini v2
-hardware wise I see an SOC spi broken out, so it looks usable. it looks like they might even have a direct line from mcu spi2 to soc spi0, via some switches I think they use this for automatic firmware updates, but we can use this for remora
-MCU is stm32f405, so could probably work.
-no wires needed possibly
Honorable mention goes to the
Code:
Fysetc spider king.
this one is pretty cool.
-pretty good hardware, with a 26 pin rpi compatible pinout for connecting to uart and spi.
-MCU is a socketed replaceable MCU, finally someone gets it. so far only the stm32f407 but others to come.
