Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
rshell
- Only way I can connect to micropython through serial connection is Arduino IDE
- VSCode - Micropython - Pi Pico (non W)
- MicroPython officially becomes part of the Arduino ecosystem

use pico without thonny ide
If you don't want a GUI, you can use rshell which was written for the original Pyboard and the very first MicroPython implemention. It is a simple tool that can copy files in/out of the pico filesystem, and gives you the REPL prompt too.

Raspberry Pi Pico w/ Python Working
inside pythonsdk, it recommends using either Thonny or rshell. Since I was pretty sure Thonny was gonna take a lot of work, I tried rshell; however it seemed rshell was gonna to work rshell issue. I was looking around for alternatives and landed on ampy.

CircuitPython β The easiest way to program microcontrollers
CircuitPython is a fork of MicroPython, and they periodically bring in commits from MicroPython to stay up to date.
One advantage of CircuitPython is that your board gets mounted as a volume like a USB drive, and you can just copy code.py onto it to install your program; it's just a more user-friendly experience. For comparison MicroPython only exposes a file system through a tool called rshell[1], that you need to use to copy code over. CircuitPython also seems to have a lot more libraries due to Adafruit's investment in this ecosystem, although I suspect that most of them could easily be adapted to work with both.

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.

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

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