pico2-ice
RaspberryPi Pico with an iCE40 FPGA

To upload a new firmware image on the RP2350 (the "pico" part of "pico2-ice"), you need to switch to that RP2350 UF2 bootloader mode instead of the FPGA UF2 mode.
You can do that by connecting a jumper between the BT pin a Gnd pin or hold the SW1 button, then toggle power:
BT pin to ground or hold the SW1 button. For instance with a pair of tweezers, a jumper, or an uncoated paper clip.BT pin from ground.RP2350 and mount it, open it, and check that there are only 2 files in it: INFO.HTML and INFO_UF2.TXT..uf2 firmware file onto the USB drive.
Since version v1.6.1, it is possible to reboot the pico2-ice into bootloader "BOOTSEL" mode without jumpers:
picocom --baud 1200 /dev/ttyACM0
This uses the convention established by Arduino boards which reset into bootloader mode when connecting with baud 1200.
After this, it becomes possible to use the picotool to control the firmware (upload, check version, reboot):
$ sudo picotool info Program Information name: pico_ice_default features: USB stdin / stdout
This means the device remained in "bootloader" mode. One thing to check is that the BT pin is not connected to anything anymore, then try to reset the board.
