Bought a flatbox clone off AliExpress and immediately broke it...
You can also use Picotool to pull the firmware from flash, but that's slightly more involved.

Vial-QMK firmware now available for the Mini M
- 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

A new era of reprogrammable OEM controllers on Unicom keyboards is beginning. Exciting!
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
- flashing without touching board

Upload UF2 File through Serial to Pico
Yes! The picotool can do it. https://github.com/raspberrypi/picotool

rp2040, boot from ram(no flash), swd
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.

Picotool detects pico only as root
Perhaps someone has already figured it out: https://github.com/raspberrypi/picotool/issues/32

Unicomp Inc.'S "New" Model M Keyboard
Recent batches also use Rpi Picos now which let you flash custom firmware. https://github.com/purdeaandrei/vial-qmk-overnumpad-and-aris...
In theory, they're probably "worse" than a brand new IBM made Model M was but I think people overestimate the feel of extant Model Ms that have been around for 30, 40 years now. I also found PS/2 -> USB adapters to be pretty flaky after a few years.
My comparison is a IBM made SSK and Lexmark made regular M.

P122 Cord Mod Help
Since you have a pico-based controller, you might want to try out the (probably better) free software Vial-QMK firmware, you can find here: https://github.com/purdeaandrei/vial-qmk-overnumpad-and-aristides-2862/releases/latest
- Unicomp Model M not being recognized

A look at Unicomp's new RP2040 controller cards!
Unicomp has two new controllers - Aristides and Mike Smith/Justify, named after Kentucky racehorses. Aristides is for 10x-key and 122-key Model Ms and pandrew has already made a QMK VIAL port for it. Justify is [most of the] new Mini M controller and Mike Justify (named after a jockey that rode Justify (that sounds mad out of context...)) is the daughterboard containing the left Triomate socket and four LVC125A buffer gates. No QMK VIAL port for it yet though but it's only a matter of time.
- First time Model M user!

You can download a build of VIAL-QMK here: https://github.com/purdeaandrei/vial-qmk-overnumpad-and-aristides-2862/releases/latest Go for the file called unicomp_classic_ultracl_post_2013_aristides_2862_vial.uf2 if you have a New Model M.
