Raspberry Pi Pico: how to access the filesystem

[JumpZero]

If on the target a file board.py exists, which define a symbol called name with the name of that board, pyboard mounts the board under that name. e.g a board,py file with the content:

name = "esp32"

causes the board mounter under the directory /esp32. Side effect: If you use:

name = ""

the board will be mounted under /, but no files can be copied to that place. Using e.g. esp32 works.

Thanks for that! Just tried and yes it works (name = "esp8266")
Nice fonctionnality

I CAN edit files & write them back with the linux version of my pye editor.

Some time ago I had no success trying your pye editor. But reading this now it seems I misunderstood.
pye runs on the linux host, not on the micropython device itself?

edit: my Raspberry Pi Pico isn't yet arrived. Ordered last Thursday (1st day on sale) coming by Int'l mail from UK to France... Still waiting

Pye is designed to run on Micropython boards. For the sake of completeness, there is also a Linux version.

Ok thanks, I think I was missing of RAM. I'll try again when I'll receive the Pico.

I had to make a specific vetsoon for the pico, because the standard build does not include the module re. It is in the git repository.

Same issue here I guess.

Got a pico, wanted to use rshell. repl works fine, but cp to the /pyboard creates an empty file with timeout error.

Installed thonny, that copied the file ok.

However I'd like to use the "usual" simple rshell, so following that thread.

Awesome, thanks!
