Beta.5 boot loop on pyportal Moderators: adafruit_support_bill, adafruit

[SandPig]

boot loop with an updated pyportal (NINA_W102-1.7.4.bin) and beta.5 (1.0.0-beta.5)

load beta.5 and reset
Wipper drive pops up with default secrets and wipper_boot_out.txt
set secrets and reset
purple -> cyan -> +18 seconds -> reboot
no serial output and no drive mounts


If it helps, the state of the pyportal wipper drive after QSPI wipe and beta.5 load is:
secrets.json:
{
"io_username":"YOUR_IO_USERNAME_HERE",
"io_key":"YOUR_IO_KEY_HERE",
"network_type_wifi_airlift":{
"network_ssid":"YOUR_WIFI_SSID_HERE",
"network_password":"YOUR_WIFI_PASS_HERE"
}
}

and
wipper_boot_out.txt:
1.0.0-beta.5
* Successfully added secrets.json and wipper_boot_out.txt to drive!
* ERROR: Default username found in secrets.json, please edit the secrets.json file and reset the board for the changes to take effect

We've had a few reports of beta.5 having issues. I'm looking into this today and have reverted the downloads page to link to the beta.3 firmware for now.

Thank you for your report, it helps us collect data and fix issues.

beta.6 works great with the LED and Light sensor.
You rock!
