Installation
If your PICO9918 is already running firmware version 1.0.0 or newer, you can upgrade your firmware using the configurator for your target system. If you are running an older v0.4.x firmware, you must install this update manually.
For PICO9918 v1.3 or newer, it is completely safe to update via USB while the PICO9918 is installed in your device. For all other versions, it is recommended to remove the PICO9918 from your device before updating the firmware.
To install, just hold the 'BOOT' button while plugging your PICO9918 into a PC, then drag the firmware .uf2 file on to the new USB drive which should have the volume label RPI-RP2. You PICO9918 will restart (and disconnect) automatically.
