Safe Boot is not working

[rahuldhole]

When I got new pycom I did some wrong program which leads in breaking the original settings like wifi and bluetooth has stopped working, so I want to safe boot and flash my wrong program files (main.py).

• Pycom Board with pysense (FIPY v2.1A)
• The firmware version I dont know

Output in VSCode with Pymakr plugin:

> Failed to connect (Error: Port is not open). Click here to try again.
Connecting on COM5...

• Exact steps to cause this issue
  1. High pin G12 by connecting it to 3V pin
  2. Then, connect pycom to my laptop
  3. Wait 1-2 seconds and disconnect pin G12 from 3V
  4. Check and set COM port in global settings
  5. Try to connect it via Pymakr
  6. It shows failed to connect
• What you expected
  • e.g. I expected to know the exact procedure of safe boot when to release the pin G12 from high and how to achieve safe boot
• What happened instead
  • e.g. Instead, I got no similar problem on the internet the documentation of pycom is not enough to understand

Thank you!

These steps seem to be overdone, especially since the documentation on the Pin-out about safe boot is wrong. There is no previous of factory firmware. The only thing safe-boot does is skipping boot.py and main.py. So, to get to a clean initial state, reload the firmware using the updater and select "erase flash". That will giev you a device with the most recent firmware and an empty file system.
