RP2040 not loading circuitpython

Post by JBelmont72 »

I have a MAC with ventura 13.2.1 and trying to load circuitpython onto a RP2040. I am following all the options detailed on this page-
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-kb2 ... cuitpython
My RP2040 shows up as a RP1/Rp2 device, that's fine. then I press the boot and reset buttons(the colors are mislabelled but I did it both ways_ boot red and then boot blue and the hit the other button as the reset.
Also tried the option of unplugging, holding boot button and replugging.
I downloaded and then dragged the current CircuitPython library into the device, At this point, the device is supposed to change to CurcuitPython... but does not. I also tried loading the libraries. no difference. Then tried the "nuke" option but it would not load into the device. Would major appreciate help.

I'm not clear on what you're doing since you're talking about libraries. You downloaded adafruit-circuitpython-adafruit_kb2040-en_US-8.1.0.uf2 from https://circuitpython.org/board/adafruit_kb2040/? And copied it to the RPi/Rp2 drive? When that copy finishes, RPi/Rp2 should unmount and the CIRCUITPY drive should mount. Libraries you copy to CIRCUITPY/lib.

hi,
It is June 1, and I've got macosx ventura 13.4, and I've got the same issue.
With a new rp 2040 featherwing "black" I got the boot drive but when I dragged and dropped
ADAFRUIT_FEATHER_RP2040-20220117-v1.18.uf2 into RPI-RP2, and rebooted, the CIRCUITYPY drive never showed up.
I have an older featherwing "pink" that has no problems and also worked with mac osx catalina.

If it helps, I can connect using a serial modem tool, I get a prompt, and typing help() returns:
Welcom to MicroPython
