This is my first post at this Forum. I've used Micropython for a few weeks now and it is awesome! Thanks for this great Python port!
Unfortunately I believe I stumbled onto a bug that causes my RP2 board to crash when using multiprocessing in combination with imports.
Test setup:
1. Connect a Raspberry Pi Pico with firmware image rp2-pico-20210902-v1.17.uf2 via USB.
2. Launch Thonny in MicroPython (Raspberry Pi Pico) mode.
3. Create an empty file and store it in Pico's root directory as "some_module.py"
4. Run the following code. -> The Pico will crash (usually in line
Code: Select all
for bar in foo.values()
5. Reset the Pico by unplugging and replugging the USB cable and pressing the STOP button (CTRL-F2).
6. Remove the line
Code: Select all
import some_module
7. Run the code again. It will now finish successfully.
Code: Select all
import time, _thread
import some_module
def some_thread():
for i in range(10):
print(i)
time.sleep(0.5)
_thread.start_new_thread(some_thread, ())
foo = {}
while True:
for bar in foo.values():
pass
* I'm not sure whether this is a board-specific or general problem, because I only have access to a Raspberry PI Pico.
* I tested the above on 2 different Pico's, so I don't think it's a hardware glitch.
* I tested a slightly modified version (with a blinking led) without Thonny (using rshell) and the Pico still crashed, so I don't think the problem comes from Thonny either.
