Reboot Nano RP 2040 Connect after bad sketch loop

Official Hardware Nano Family Nano RP2040 Connect

Hi,

I recently tried to upload a sketch to my Arduino Nano RP 2040 Connect that used the BLE library and failed to notice that the line BLE.advertise(); was in the void loop. So now the chip is unresponsive (unable to connect to the IDE) and continuously blinking the orange upload light.

What should I do to overwrite the bad sketch?

Any help is highly appreciated.

This does not affect the upload, since BLE is controlled by a separate controller.

Hold the "Boot" button when connecting the board to the USB, then release

Thank you for the help! So I solved part of the problem by reinstalling the port and now the IDE connects to the board again.

I still had the blinking uploading lights issue. But you were partly right. They way to solve it is to double press the button so that you get into bootloader state, then i could upload the sketch.

have a lovely weekend.
