I have a QtPy2040 that I've loaded CircuitPython (adafruit-circuitpython-adafruit_qtpy_rp2040-en_US-6.2.0.uf2) to. Works fine, I add code, terrific.
I eject from laptop and plug USB into USB power brick to just run the code - and the QtPy2040 does not seem to boot. I hit reset and after a few times it finally shows the CP status light indicating that my code has run and the LED driver I have attached via StemmaQt shows things are running because it does its own flashy-blinky.
Is the board supposed to start running code.py when it gets power? Or is it expected that I would have to hit reset?
Thanks! (I love the QtPy2040 and CircuitPython for this work!)

Re: QtPy2040 does not reliably boot to CircuitPy code
It definitely should load and execute code.py (or main.py, whichever you have on the drive... only have one or the other) when it powers up.
With an actual USB connection it works as expected?
Can you measure the voltage on the 5v and 3v pins?

Re: QtPy2040 does not reliably boot to CircuitPy code
we've fixed a few timing things for RP2040, can you try 7.0.0 alpha?
