Description

I flashed the Rumba32 bigtreetech board (BIGTREETECH Rumba32 V1.0 180MHZ 32-Bit) with TMC2209 stepper drivers (UART MODE) with the Marlin 2.0.9.3 and the printer does what it's supposed to do.

However, in order to print with Octoprint on a Raspberry Pi, the Rumba32 board must always be connected with a USB cable. Now the board appears to be powered via this USB cable and so the board turns on! This is a very undesirable situation because the Raspberry pi is always on, and - as it seems now - also the 3D printer.

Does anyone know how to prevent the connected USB cable from supplying the Bigtreetech Rumba32 board with power?

Help is much appreciated

Research direction

The issue names the BIGTREETECH Rumba32 V1.0 board, Marlin 2.0.9.3, TMC2209 UART mode, OctoPrint, and a Raspberry Pi, but no repository file or test. Start by investigating the board's USB power path and the reported setup; done would require a documented, validated way to prevent USB power from turning on the printer.
