picotool

sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev
git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk
git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/picotool
cd picotool
git checkout de8ae5ac334e1126993f72a5c67949712fd1e1a4
export PICO_SDK_PATH="$(pwd)/../pico-sdk"
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . -- -j"$(npro)" VERBOSE=1

and the executable is there under build/picotool so copy it somewhere in your PATH like:

cp picotool ~/bin

and then trying to use a Zephyr example:

sudo ~/bin/picotool load -f build/zephyr/zephyr.uf2

fails with:

No accessible RP2040 devices in BOOTSEL mode were found

TODO: how to avoid that? youtu.be/tRXLxrtfU_s?t=207 gives a workaround if you are using the Pico SDK by adding to CMakeLists.txt:

pico_enable_stdio_usb(blink 1)

but how to do it in Zephyr? Video description says:

make sure that your program initializes the USB code via a call to "stdio_init_all()".

but again how to do that from Zephyr? It appears that this only works if the code currently running has support for the feature:

Never unplug your Raspberry Pi Pico again by deltocode
