Is the Pico 2W supported by eric-ide?</pre>

<pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre"> I'm on the latest version of

</blockquote>
<font size="2">That is because a brand new Pico does not have a
firmware installed. When you plug it in, a volume called 'RPI-RP2'
should be shown. In order to flash a firmware like MicroPython or
CircuitPython, you have to mount that volume. Thereafter you may
use the 'Flash UF2 Device' action to flash a firmware. Once
MicroPython is on the board, it will be detected automatically by
eric-ide.</font>

<font size="2">Not on a RPi Pico. Other boards may have such an LED.</font>

Or is there list of supported devices available somewhere?</pre>
</blockquote>
<font size="2">Such a list is included in the source code. It is
about 500+ entries long and even more models are supported because
some devices use the same VID/PID combination for other devices as
well (i.e. most RPi RP2 based boards use the same independent of
vendor/producer).</font>
