I've tried all the troubleshoot things on the circuitpy page, but nothing's working. I did see an old thread for the monster mask where it seemed to be a hardware issue

are you sure the usb cable works for data?

obtuse plank Nov 21, 2023, 10:22 PM

#

Yes, we are successfully able to open hallowboot but whenever we upload the .uf2 file, no circuitpy drive file is created after installation

dapper pasture Nov 21, 2023, 10:22 PM

#

what version are you installing?

obtuse plank Nov 21, 2023, 10:24 PM

#

We've tried the latest version (8.2.8), 5.3.1, and 5.0.0 alpha

#

For 8.2.8, we got a really quick flash through of error code that I couldn't access with the Mu REPL and then it entered safe mode, but by deduction I think the error was You are in safe mode because:
CIRCUITPY drive could not be found or created.

#

Older versions just stall waiting for a reload

#

is it a new board?

obtuse plank Nov 21, 2023, 10:29 PM

#

yes, brand new

dapper pasture Nov 21, 2023, 10:29 PM

#

it might have a flash chip that CP doesn't know it might have

#

can you take a picture of the chip on the back with 8 legs?

#

it'll have the part number on it

obtuse plank Nov 21, 2023, 10:30 PM

#

ya one mo

#

#

I'm not sure which 8 leg you're looking for, there's two of them on this board

W25Q64JVxQ is what cp is configured for

obtuse plank Nov 21, 2023, 10:35 PM

#

okay, so what do we have to do

dapper pasture Nov 21, 2023, 10:35 PM

#

post to the support forum and we can send another

#

that is the wrong flash chip. it is only 2mb

#

I can get you a build in the meantime that will work

obtuse plank Nov 21, 2023, 10:36 PM

#

Okay, thank you so much! Is that the Adafruit support forum online?

How quickly will the board get to us?

dapper pasture Nov 21, 2023, 10:39 PM

#

I'm not sure. you post to the forum and then send support@adafruit.com a request

#

I'm building you a version that may work now

#

but the flash size will be smaller

obtuse plank Nov 21, 2023, 10:39 PM

#

okay

dapper pasture Nov 21, 2023, 10:43 PM

#

sorry, my laptop hasn't been used to build in a while

#

@pastel wren you around to do a quick samd build?

#

@spare oak could do it too. I've gotta run

obtuse plank Nov 21, 2023, 10:48 PM

#

@dapper pasture thank you so much for your help!

dapper pasture Nov 21, 2023, 10:50 PM

#

👍 sorry it has the wrong chip! that can happen if the board gets reworked

obtuse plank Nov 21, 2023, 11:08 PM

#

@pastel wren @spare oak, nice to meet you, thank you so much for your help and time if you can give it!

#

@obtuse plank setting up my system to build a firmware for you.

#

@obtuse plank Please try with this UF2 file. It should be identical ot the 8.2.8 release except that support for the "W25Q16JVxQ" (2 megabyte) flash chip has been added.

I replied to your forum thread and attached the build above. But it is definitely the wrong chip (2MB instead of 8MB), and we'll see about rectifying that.
