I now have 2 pyboard v1.1's that /sd has vanished from: rshell gives a "cannot access /sd" message and sure enough code that used to boot just fine from the /sd card no longer does (the code is still there if I look at it with a PC). I can copy copy to /flash with rshell and it will boot and run jus...

I have a python (not microPython) pre-processor script that ends up compiling all files in a project to bytecode (and then uses rshell to sync all of them to the board, reset the board, and open a PuTTY connection to stdout). To deal with the aforementioned complication yesterday I added a workaroun...

Thanks. So much for boot.py. But tests I did also seem to indicate that even if boot.py exists, changing the line in it that starts main.py won't work either if changed to

pyb.main('main.mpy') # main script to run after this one

won't work either.

It seems like boot.py and main.py cannot be bytecode (mpy files). Is that correct?

Pyboard 1.1, firmware 1.12

If you have both a x.py and x.mpy file on /flash or /sd, does the x.mpy file take precedence and get loaded, and the x.py file ignored?

Saga conclusion. As my code has continued to grow in size I have had to deal with this issue more and more. It has finally reached the point where it *always* happens and I simply cannot use rshell/rsync to update files on /flash. It always fails with the message <timed out or error in transfer to r...

So is there any way to test the hardware to verify that?

I've tried the mass erase & firmware reload many times. So many times, in fact, that I made a batch file to do it.

Well that was short-lived. I have 3 pyboards I am programming and it turns out I mistook the one that was having the problems with a good one, so that's the reason for the last "all is fixed" post. With the bad board the issue is still there, both with the updated rshell and/or switching to LittleFS...

Well, so far, knock on wood, the update to rshell appears to be working. I'll update this update if it starts failing again. If it does I'll try littleFs. Thanks for all your help (and the update to rshell!).
