Can`t run a programm

[nesergen]

Good day!

I`m trying to start the program using function

Code: Select all

pyb.main(bootFileName)

in the boot.py . But I get an error:

Code: Select all

13:50:57.924 -> Traceback (most recent call last):
13:50:57.924 ->   File "main_v16.mpy", line 1
13:50:57.924 -> SyntaxError: invalid syntax

It is strange because if I use

Code: Select all

import bootFileName 

the file starts normally.

What may be the reason of such behavior?

I`m trying to start the program using function

pyb.main(bootFileName)

This should be

Code: Select all

pyb.main("bootFileName.py")

But there's more going on because you're also using .mpy files (i.e. via the cross compiler)? Can you provide more information?

[jimmo]

Ohh... wait... are you trying to use a cross-compiled main_v16.mpy as your main.py? I think pyb.main has to be a .py file. You can only load .mpy via import.

You are right. I`m trying to start .mpy file. It`s not clear in docs that pyb.main() can only starts .py files.

It`s not clear in docs that pyb.main() can only starts .py files.

I have just fixed this in a pending docs PR i'm working on.
