Boot process ------------ -On boot, MicroPython EPS8266 port executes ``_boot.py`` script from internal -frozen modules. It mounts filesystem in FlashROM, or if it's not available, -performs first-time setup of the module and creates the filesystem. This -part of the boot process is considered fixed, and not available for customization -for end users (even if you build from source, please refrain from changes to -it; customization of early boot process is available only to advanced users -and developers, who can diagnose themselves any issues arising from -modifying the standard process). - -Once the filesystem is mounted, ``boot.py`` is executed from it. The standard -version of this file is created during first-time module set up and has -commands to start a WebREPL daemon (disabled by default, configurable -with ``webrepl_setup`` module), etc. This -file is customizable by end users (for example, you may want to set some -parameters or add other services which should be run on -a module start-up). But keep in mind that incorrect modifications to boot.py -may still lead to boot loops or lock ups, requiring to reflash a module -from scratch. (In particular, it's recommended that you use either -``webrepl_setup`` module or manual editing to configure WebREPL, but not -both). - -As a final step of boot procedure, ``main.py`` is executed from filesystem, -if exists. This file is a hook to start up a user application each time -on boot (instead of going to REPL). For small test applications, you may -name them directly as ``main.py``, and upload to module, but instead it's -recommended to keep your application(s) in separate files, and have just -the following in ``main.py``:: - - import my_app - my_app.main() - -This will allow to keep the structure of your application clear, as well as -allow to install multiple applications on a board, and switch among them. - +See :doc:`/reference/reset_boot`.
