Raspberry Pi pico: error after flash firmware

[pythoncoder]

Each time I flash the firmware (by dragging to the device window) the firmware installs correctly. But it then seems to try to mount a device in my filesystem which fails with the following error message:

Code: Select all

Error opening directory /media/adminpete/RPI-RP2 Permission denied

I have tried this on two Linux PC's with the same outcome. Other USB devices automount at /media/adminpete/ without issue.

While I deplore MSC mode and have no use for it, there would seem to be a bug here. Can anyone reproduce this?

As far as I know, mounting MicroPython's filesystem in the host isn't implemented yet in Pico.

After installing the firmware, the device is supposed to reboot and the volume should disappear. It looks like something in your system still wants to access this volume

OK, thanks for that. It's evidently just a quirk of my systems (I've tried two PC's). In every other respect it works - the firmware updates and the device reboots.

Just an additionnal note: I did noticed that U2F flashing sometime takes extra time to get complete. This is apparently extra slow but it definitively works.

Hello,
I can confirm I get the same error trying to load the uf2 firmware file (by dragging to the device window) for both the pico and the pico W.
Even in my case, despite the error, the FW seems correctly updated and working.
