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. - |
