Errors when attempting connect to board running aiorepl

[Josverl]

Describe the bug

Setup

• MicroPython board: rp2040
• MicroPython version: 1.23.0
• OS version: Windows
• Browser: Edge
• Connection type: USB
• device running asyncio & aiorepl on startup ( from main.py) , that changes the prompt to --> (sys.ps1)
  https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib/tree/master/micropython/aiorepl

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

2. Click on 'connect USB`
3. Connect USB alternates between green/yellow icons
4. after a minute or so , sometimes I get connection with the repl , other times I only get connection errors
5. at that time multiple machine.reset() have been issued

Expected behavior

• to connect to the repl as provided by aiorepl and the prompt --> be recognized as one of the standard prompts similar to >>>

Additional context
I assume that viper-ise waits for detection of a system prompt , and that the expected value is limited to >>> and possibly ... .

1. aiorepl uses a default prompt of -->

2. In addition the micropython repl allows the prompts to be changed , so it would make sense to allow for prompts other than just >>> in advanced configuration

[vshymanskyy]

Aiorepl is not supported.
I dont think its supported by mpremote either

[Josverl]

With mpremote it just works, (Jimmo worked on both aiorepl and mpremote)
Both the repl and copy work while keeping an async app running.

Interesting, thanks for bringing it up!
