so when I press CRTL-D in repl it software resets then runs boot.py then main.py but nicely maintains USB and network connections.

When I run machine.soft_reset() in my python code it resets then runs boot.py but doesn't run main.py. It also nicely maintains USB and network connections

boot.py has network connection and starts webrepl then main.py just has print("Shane makes his mark")

Here's my repl output on CTRL-D This is my output from machine.soft_reset()

OK a little more info here. It seems that if the machine.soft_reset is executed from main.py then when it resets it runs main.py but if it is executed from another script then it doesn't run main.py

this explanation may help:

Basically if you run anything that will call soft_reset, it should be from main.py. boot.py should be for initialization only.

I wasn't calling machine.soft_reset() from boot.py but rather calling it from another script called line.py but the easy work around that I found was that main.py would just have the line from line import * then when line.py executed machine.soft_reset() it reset and run both boot.py and main.py

basically I wanted to be able to update line.py on my computer and send it to the board via webrepl then when line.py detected the boot button pressed it would call machine.soft_reset then rerun the new updated line.py

It would be nice if I could just hit CRTL-C then CRTL-D in the webrepl and it would reboot but at the moment I can't get webrepl to work it can only upload or download files but not use repl
