After loading the MicroPython uf2 file onto my new Thing Plus - RP2040 I connected to the REPL and performed a soft boot. The preloaded main.py ran with what appears to be a self test and demo routine. From what I can tell by scanning the main.py file the WS2812 RGB LED should cycle colors, during the test, but mine just seems to flash bright and dim blue. The routine also reports that about half of the GPIO tests failed. Pasted below is the output from routine:
=======================================================================================
MPY: soft reboot

My question is, does this indicate that my board is faulty or is there something I can do to clear the self test failures?
