CPX showing up as NONAME DRIVE ON MAC

Post by diggee17 »

HI,
I have a CPX which I've had for years for learning and I've used it just fine on my Win 10 computer. I now have a MAC Mini. Today I attempted to install the a version 7.x UF2 file on the CPX as follows: 1. click reset twice to get the device in CPLAYBOOT mode 2) drag the UF2 file to the CPLAYBOOT device. Instead of going int the CircuitPy mode it the device now says NONAME.


The contents of the CPLAYBOOT file is
CURRENT.UF2
INDEX.HTM
INFO_UF2.TXT
INFO_UF2.TXT.sb-f6e7080d-qpgDOK

The contents of the INFOR_UF2.TXT file is:
UF2 Bootloader v3.6.0 SFHWRO
Model: CPlay Express
Board-ID: SAMD21G18A-CPlay-v

I have never seen this before. How do I get the CPX back in the CIRCUITPY state? Is there something extra I need to do on a MAC?

Thanks in advance.

BTW. I tried to install the latest adafruit-circuitpython-circuitplayground_express-en_US-7.1.0.uf2 on my CPX on my WIN 10 machine and I can't do it on that computer either now! What could have happened to my CPX? How do I fix it?


Thanks

The CIRCUITPY filesystem is probably corrupted. You can follow the directions here for erasing and reformatting the CIRCUITPY drive:
