Default boot.py file looks like below:

from machine import UART
import os
uart = UART(0, 115200)
os.dupterm(uart)

Try:

import machine
import os
uart = machine.UART(0, 115200)
os.dupterm(uart)
machine.main(filename)

Thanks,

tried this already in various syntax options,

import machine
import os
uart = machine.UART(0, 115200)
os.dupterm(uart)
machine.main(test.py)
or
machine.main('test.py')
or
machine.main('./test.py')

etc.

Even removed main.py from the file system
but no succes.

The basic idea that want to implement is running various
version of software depending in grounding pins.
This is the first step i need to solve.

You do not need to override it to acomplish task
use
execfile('your file.py')
in your boot.py

@Rens Like @livius said, for your scenario execfile('your_file.py') is more appropriate - try it. Anyway machine.main('test.py') should do it's job too. Because my LoPys are at work, I'll try to check that tomorrow.

@rskoniec

Still curious why this is not working, i assume when execfile('test.py')
would return still will go on with main.py.

Thanks for all suggestions !

OK, as I promised I've tried my LoPy with boot.py as below:

import machine
import os

uart = machine.UART(0, 115200)
os.dupterm(uart)

machine.main('test.py')

with test.py file:

print('Test')

and everything is working as it should.

Thanks for trying, no idea were I did go wrong.

Will test and have another close look, as far is i can see
both setup's are identical.

When do find the answer I will post it here.
