picoboot-rs

A crate for connecting to and communicating with a Raspberry Pi microcontroller in BOOTSEL mode over USB!

Notes

When using this crate, the underlying dependencies will be downloaded and installed automatically, however further configuration for USB devices on the host machine may be required.

• When running on Linux or macOS, you may need to add some additional udev rules to allow the PICOBOOT interface to be usable by a userspace program. These udev rules can be found here.
• When running on Windows, you may need to install a libusb compatible driver for the PICOBOOT interface. This driver can be installed by Zadig. Simply plug in the Pico device while holding the BOOTSEL button, and install any of the listed drivers for the RP2 Boot device in Zadig.
