How Can I Get My Board into SAFE MODE Using CircuitPython?

If you have gotten your board into a bad state with CircuitPython, like being stuck in read-only mode, or stuck in a boot loop, you can get it into safe mode by following these steps:

  1. Press the [RESET] button to restart the ESP32 chip
  2. After the RGB LED turns purple and then off, press and hold the [BOOT] button for several seconds

Your board should now be in safe mode, which will boot the board without executing any code, allowing you to fix whatever issue you have before resetting the board.
