Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : picomite custom function to control RTS and CTS possible?

That sounds great Peter,

Will wireless keyboard dongles be compatible with the new firmware and will this be ported to the PicoMite as well as PicoVGA?

Although it won’t have the same versatility as the VGA one would have.

Regards,

Mick

  matherp said  The update firmware command will disappear (use the button)


Is that really necessary? Unfortunately, there are some designs where the button is not or only very poorly accessible...

If he needs a command name slot for KEYDOWN than that may be a reason to remove it. All the available slots are currently used.

The alternative is to connect to the pico at 1200 baud. That puts it into update mode.

That's cool!!!      
Where is this documented? I couldn't find it in the manual...

Terminal Emulator chapter.
Near the bottom of page 5 Of the PicoMite manual.

How about an OPTION UPDATE FIRMWARE? (Not really an option, but an overloading of the OPTION token for one-time use.)

It's nothing to do with command slots. It uses a function that is only enabled when a USB console device is enabled in the cmake file.

That makes sense. You can't download an update file from a keyboard. :)
I assume the button or connecting at 1200bd will work via the serial console on GP8 & GP9.

I doubt it.
Once you are in firmware update mode, you are at the mercy of the pico bootloader.

I did suspect that once I thought about it more, as the Boot button directly triggers the flash, not the RP2040.
