+Factory reset
+=============
+
+If something unexpected happens and your RP2xxx-based board no longer boots
+MicroPython, then you may have to factory reset it. For more details, see
+:ref:`soft_bricking`.
+
+Factory resetting the MicroPython rp2 port involves fully erasing the flash and
+resetting the flash memory, so you will need to re-flash the MicroPython
+firmware afterwards and copy any Python files to the filesystem again.
+
+1. Follow the instructions on the Raspberry Pi website for `resetting flash
+ memory`_.
+2. Copy the MicroPython .uf2 firmware file to your board. If needed, this file
+ can be found on the `MicroPython downloads page`_.
