Reset and boot modes
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
There are soft resets and hard resets.
|
|
|
|
- A soft reset simply clears the state of the MicroPython virtual machine,
|
|
but leaves hardware peripherals unaffected. To do a soft reset, simply press
|
|
**Ctrl+D** on the REPL, or within a script do::
|
|
|
|
import sys
|
|
sys.exit()
|
|
|
|
- A hard reset is the same as performing a power cycle to the board. In order to
|
|
hard reset the WiPy, press the switch on the board or::
|
|
|
|
import machine
|
|
machine.reset()
|
|
|
|
Safe boot
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
If something goes wrong with your WiPy, don't panic! It is almost
|
|
impossible for you to break the WiPy by programming the wrong thing.
|
|
|
|
The first thing to try is to boot in safe mode: this temporarily skips
|
|
execution of ``boot.py`` and ``main.py`` and gives default WLAN settings.
|
|
|
|
If you have problems with the filesystem you can :ref:`format the internal flash
|
|
drive <wipy_factory_reset>`.
|
|
|
|
To boot in safe mode, follow the detailed instructions described :ref:`here <wipy_boot_modes>`.
|
|
|
|
In safe mode, the ``boot.py`` and ``main.py`` files are not executed, and so
|
|
the WiPy boots up with default settings. This means you now have access
|
|
to the filesystem, and you can edit ``boot.py`` and ``main.py`` to fix any problems.
|
|
|
|
Entering safe mode is temporary, and does not make any changes to the
|
|
files on the WiPy.
|
|
|
|
.. _wipy_factory_reset:
|
|
|
|
Factory reset the filesystem
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you WiPy's filesystem gets corrupted (very unlikely, but possible), you
|
|
can format it very easily by doing::
|
|
|
|
>>> import os
|
|
>>> os.mkfs('/flash')
|
|
|
|
Resetting the filesystem deletes all files on the internal WiPy storage
|
|
(not the SD card), and restores the files ``boot.py`` and ``main.py`` back
|
|
to their original state after the next reset.
