CircuitPython how to: Erase and re-create the CIRCUITPY filesystem

In CircuitPython, calling storage.erase_filesystem() will erase and re-create the CIRCUITPY filesystem.

On boards that present USB-visible CIRCUITPY drive (e.g., SAMD21 and SAMD51), then call microcontroller.reset() to restart CircuitPython and have the host computer remount CIRCUITPY.

This function can be called from the REPL when CIRCUITPY has become corrupted.

Warning

All the data on CIRCUITPY will be lost, and CircuitPython will restart on certain boards.

Just enter in REPL:

import storage
storage.erase_filesystem()
Then, Use Stop/Restart to reconnect.

Drive 320x240 ILI9341 SPI TFT using ESP32-S3 (NodeMCU ESP-S3-12K-Kit) using TFT_eSPI library, in Arduino Framework.

Drive 2.4 inch 320x240 ILI9341 SPI TFT on Ai-Thinker NodeMCU ESP-S3-12K-Kit using TFT_eSPI library, in Arduino Framework. The steps same as in my former post " Drive ILI9341 (8-bit parallel) using ESP32-S3 (ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1) ", with custom user setup for SPI ILI9341 driver. The custom user setup I modify from is Setup70b_ESP32_S3_ILI9341.h (inside your local installed library folder or here ), copy it to the new created "TFT_eSPI_Setups" folder, rename as mySetup70b_ESP32_S3_ILI9341.h. For SPI connection, I follow the original assignment. For DC and RST pins, the original assigned pins (GPIO 7 and 6) are connected to LEDs in NodeMCU ESP-S3-12K-Kit (ref:  ESP-S3-12K-Kit Schematic ), so I re-assign to GPIO 16 and 15). mySetup70b_ESP32_S3_ILI9341.h // Setup for the ESP32 S3 with ILI9341 display // Note SPI DMA with ESP32 S3 is not currently supported #define USER_SETUP_ID 70 // See SetupX_Template.h for all options available #def...
