Pico2 & Pico Plus 2 Stop Mounting

Support
1

I’ve been playing with a Raspberry Pico 2 and Pimoroni Pico Plus 2 and have come across the same issue with both.

After a while (in some cases a few days) the devices stop mounting

I’m about to mount into boot mode without issue, but the non-boot-mode stops mounting.

I’ve tried with both Micro and Circuit python.

What am i missing? Is there a way to factory reset to get them mounting again?

Thanks

which OS are you using? How do you mount?

Having the issue in both Mac and Windows - mounting by plugging into a USB port

These OS don’t expect you to reset the device without unplugging. If this happens at the wrong time, you may end up with a corrupt system that does not mount anymore. I assume that you don’t need a factory reset, but you will have to repair the filesystem. Which might be too complicated…

For MicroPython, there is a nuke-uf2 somewhere here on the Pimoroni site. For CircuitPython I have seen instructions in the net about re-initializing the CIRCUITPY drive.
