`mpremote mip install` hangs when uploading files

bugport-stm32

Port, board and/or hardware

STM32 port on a NUCLEO-144--F767ZI

MicroPython version

MicroPython v1.27.0-preview.440.ga6864109db on 2025-11-23; NUCLEO-F767ZI with STM32F767

Reproduction

  1. (Optional) Perform a mass erase on all flash blocks.
  2. Build main firmware and mboot, then upload image to the board with deploy-stlink
  3. Reboot the board
  4. Run mpremote mip install unittest
  5. Wait until it hangs

Expected behaviour

mpremote mip should install the required package

Observed behaviour

The upload process hangs at random intervals, and when stopping it via CTRL+C the traceback is as follows (the process was stopped after a few minutes of being stuck at 13%):

KeyboardInterrupt

The firmware is still waiting for data to arrive on the serial port when mpremote seems to be stuck:

in fact, reconnecting to the serial port will find the interpreter still waiting for data to arrive.

mpremote cannot cp files to stm32wb55 nucleo on stlink/com port.

port-stm32

When connecting to the nucleo stm32wb55 repl on the stlink (usb <-> uart) port file transfers with mpremote above a certain (small) size always fail.

In this case, transferring a ~23K file hangs for about 15 seconds then fails with the below error.

    raise PyboardError("could not complete raw paste: {}".format(data))
pyboard.PyboardError: could not complete raw paste: b''

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "W:\home\anl\tempt\src\micropython\tools\mpremote\mpremote.py", line 6, in <module>
    sys.exit(main.main())

    print(str(er.args[2], "ascii"))
IndexError: tuple index out of range

It fails in the same way after a similar timeout every time.

The same file transfer works perfectly on the direct usb port.

Transferring a 259 byte board.json works.
Transferring a 575 byte mpconfigboard.mk fails.

Note this is on Windows so may be related to https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/8358 - I will test shortly if this PR resolves (hides) the issue.
