Debugging Python Boot Issues

Date: 2024-12-19

Problem

When MicroPython firmware fails during boot (e.g., due to import errors in frozen modules), the board may appear dead with no visible error output. Debug builds have REPL enabled, but if the main script crashes on import, you won't see the stacktrace unless you manually trigger the import.

Solution: Iterative Debug Workflow

BMad + Beads Integration Research

Research Date: December 7, 2025 Researcher: BMad Orchestrator Agent Purpose: Investigate potential integration between BMad-METHOD and Steve Yegge's Beads
