Adafruit Feather RP2040 factory reset?

Post by jwinslade »

Title says it all, actually.

Is there a quick and convenient way to do a total wipe and factory reset on this unit? I googled (actually DDG) and tried to find anything in TFM and it is not obvious.

I have several of these units (both pink and plain-jane), and one of them is getting increasingly flaky, after bouncing between Arduino and CircuitPython several times, with corrupt files and such.

I would like to just do a clean factory reset on this.

Is this possible?

Thanks

The factory shipped firmware is available here:

Put the board in bootloader mode and drag the UF2 to the RPI-RP2 folder.

This may not fully clean up the entire flash storage though. Another option is to try storage erase from CircuitPython:
