If your Nano RP2040 Connect isn’t recognized by your computer or fails to power up after a firmware update or sketch upload, performing a firmware reset may resolve the issue. Follow the steps below to reset the firmware:
-
Connect the board to your computer via USB.
-
Double-tap the reset button to enter bootloader mode (Alternatively, connect a jumper wire between the REC and GND pins, then press the reset button). This will open RP2040’s mass storage folder on your computer.
-
If you used a jumper wire, remove it while the mass storage folder is still open.
-
Download the
blink.ino.elf.uf2
file. -
Drag and drop the
blink.ino.elf.uf2
file into RP2040’s mass storage folder. -
The board’s built-in LED should now blink and cycle through red, green, and blue, confirming that the reset process was successful.
