• otp list
  • Field descriptions are now shown if a single field is selected, or if thew new -f, --field-descriptions option is used
• otp load
  • Fix bug which meant only 4 bytes were loaded when loading from a binary file (rare)
• otp set
  • Added -s, --set-bits option to OR value into a raw row
• reboot

  • Allow force reboot of a device with third party VID/PID from application firmware into bootloader with:

    picotool reboot --vid 0x32ac --pid 0x001f -f -u
    

  • Always print serial number when unable to find a device with specific serial number after reboot

• save
  • Added -v, --verify option to verify saved contents
  • Added --family option to specify family ID when saving to UF2

v2.0.0

Major Update for SDK 2.0.0 and RP2350

Existing Commands

RP2040

• Functionality is unchanged

RP2350 specific changes

• load
  • Offset now valid for ELF and UF2 files on RP2350 - but this should only be used for putting packaged SRAM binaries into flash
  • Defaults to doing the same as a UF2 drag & drop, with detection of UF2 family for ELF and BIN files
• info
  • Displays info on the embedded block for RP2350
  • Displays information for binaries in partitions too
• reboot
  • Added -cpu option on RP2350 to switch archtectures
  • Added diagnostic partition option on RP2350.

New commands

See the RP2350 Datasheet "Bootrom Concepts" section for context around these new commands

• config - Allows reading and changing of modifiable binary info
• encrypt - Creates an encrypted binary, for use with the enc_bootloader example or similar
• seal - Used to sign/hash binaries
• link - Combined multiple binaries into one - see universal examples
• otp - RP2350 OTP access functionality
  • list - List OTP rows
  • get - Read OTP rows
  • set - Write OTP rows
  • load - Load a JSON or BIN file into OTP
  • dump - Dump the OTP contents as hex
  • permissions - Runs a binary on the device to configure OTP page locks
  • white-label - USB "white-labeling"
• partition - RP2350 Partition table functionality
  • create - Create a partition table from JSON
  • info - Display the partition table stored on a device
• uf2 - UF2 related functionality
  • info - Display information about the last (failed) UF2 download on RP2350
  • convert - Replaces ELF2UF2 from the SDK; used to convert a bin/elf file to a UF2 file
• coprodis - Disassemble RP2350 coprocessor instructions in an existing disassembly file

v1.1.1

• Add --update option to load command to skip unchanged flash sectors (speed improvement).
• A number of minor bug fixes and documentation improvements.
• Support non contiguous flash ELF/UF2 which were written incorrectly before (and yet still passed verify due to another bug).
