picotool VS pico_pomdoro

You can also use Picotool to pull the firmware from flash, but that's slightly more involved.

- On windows you can download a prebuild version, follow the instructions on this link: http://purdea.ro/picotool/ - On other OSes follow the instructions here on how to build: https://github.com/raspberrypi/picotool

You may want to first save a copy of the original closed firmware, so you can go back to it in case you don't like QMK or VIAL-QMK. For that you will need to build picotool: https://github.com/raspberrypi/picotool And you will need to run something like the following to save the original firmware: sudo ./picotool save -a all.uf2 -t uf2

Yes! The picotool can do it. https://github.com/raspberrypi/picotool

I need to boot rp2040 from ram (no flash), which I have tested with the picotool (with USB) and picoprobe (with swd+gdb load) and I can boot from ram and flashing a LED.

git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/picotool.git cd picotool mkdir build cd build cmake .. make

You can use picotool to save a copy of the entire flash as a uf2 file.

Perhaps someone has already figured it out: https://github.com/raspberrypi/picotool/issues/32

You can use https://github.com/raspberrypi/picotool to dump the flash.

where I will be updating the documentation on getting the pico to work ( i should probs get it in a seperate repo instead of my project repo, but its kinda not much ) github repo
